So here's my situation now. I've started a Pokemon Black 2 game on Desmume, and the game warned me that I already have a saved game, so I said I want to start a new game anyway.
Now, I'm usually saving with states, so I usually don't mind not being able to save normally.
However, in Black 2, I reached the part where I'm required to shoot a movie (right after the second gym battle), now it requires me to save, and it tells me "You can't save the game because there's already a saved game, please press SELECT+UP+B at the start menu".
Now, I obviously don't want to completely erase my saved game, so I tried the following:
- Remove the saved file from the Battery folder and restarting the game.
- Rename the game and the saved state file and restarting.
Needless to say these didn't work, I'm suspecting the saved state has the current save file in memory and the emulator won't read it again.
Is there some way I can force it to? Is there perhaps a cheat code that would allow me to bypass the guard at the entrance (and if I do that, would the game allow me to move forward?). Is it possible to perhaps convert the saved state to an actual save file?

Well, you can't over write the save that is already on the game, which you got the warning message about when it said" "please press SELECT+UP+B at the start menu." so, if you want to save in game you have to start again and follow that command to be able to save after.
With the legit version of black I had the same problem, I bought a 2nd hand version and I got to the first gym and couldn't save, I had to restart the DS delete the save file and then I was able to save.

No, you can't you have to start the game but before you can start a "New Game" you have to follow the "please press SELECT+UP+B at the start menu." command
