VBA can't detect save file

I'm playing Hamtaro Ham Ham Heartbreak and it won't detect my save file. It's in the same folder as the ROM and I'm running it at 64K Flash and Automatic save type. The VBA version I'm using is the 1.8.0 Beta3
I tried changing the save types but no dice.Has anyone else had this problem with any other game?

esiest way "save stats" use ctrl + S or just alt +f1 - f10

Thanks I'll try it out.EDIT: I just tried that now but the save file won't show up.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Do the quicksaves work?

nope. Quicksaves don't work either.

its too strange what version of VBA are you using

ow ow ow ow sorry i read this but i forgot maybewell the emulator is not bad is a good version i use it as well
try using no$gba i'm not sure but it could workbut stil... i dont understand why the save states don't apear
use ctrl + s, then be sure you are saving it on a correct directory.
try to put it in a folder you know, then use ctrl + L to load the save state from that directory
(if it dont work then i don't know what hapend to your game xD)

The version text is in an corner too...

No dice. Thanks guys but I might as well just start a new game. Thanks for the replies!

Use GBA emulators when playing GBA games.and press Shift + F1 - F10 for a quicksaves, and F1 - F10 for a quickloads(defaults)
(not Alt, unless you change it)Switch to Flash 128K.
