Chrono Trigger loading savefile issue

[heyjessicafleur]

I wanted to have a valentines with a reunion with a certain Frog..... but nvm.

Notes:
- Snex9x 1.54.1
- Savefile directory is in the correct 'saves' folder
- Chrono Trigger (USA).srm file

Issue:
I can load the core and the content without issue, loading the ROM creates a new game.
There's no option to load a previous save file. I have double checked that the directory is correct, and it is not a savestate.
The file is within the correct folders.
I started a new game (loading the content as normal), then entered the in-game menu and tried to load a savefile from there, but nothing is present.

Is the file named exactly the same as the rom image bar the extension? Otherwise Snes9x may be configured to load sram from a different location, like the same folder as the game.

So the file name is the same, however I have just changed the .srm file name.
I still do not get anything

either:

• 1) the save path isn't what you think it is (and therefore the sram isn't where snes9x is looking)
  2) the rom is zipped, the rom filename and zip filename are not the same, but you renamed the sram to match the zip filename (meaning sram filename doesn't match rom)
