I've started playing Pokemon Diamond on the DeSmuME Emulator for Nintendo DS(desmume-0.9.11-win32<-This is the version I'm Using).
For some reason, when I try to save ingame I cannot save and it shows me what you can see in the image. I tried saving through the emulator itself as a save state and it worked every time but for some reason, I cannot save ingame. My friend also started playing this game same time as me, and he has no problem saving ingame(We use the same emulator and the same Pokemon Diamond ROM).

On every version of pokemon, even in the official games, you need to delete the original save before you can save in a new game.
For pokemon DPP, go to the startup screen and hold UP + SELECT + B, or whatever they are bound to, to delete the save, THEN start a new game. This allows you to save the game on a new save.
