Paper Mario Color Splash CEMU Save Issue

[Taelus]

Hi all. Just a quick question for someone who might know better. I'm trying to play Color Splash via CEMU (1.25.2), and Color Splash is working perfectly with the right settings. However, I'm running into an issue where the game doesn't seem to be saving. When I start it up fresh, I can see that a meta folder is created with save data, but whenever I jump to hit a save block, the save file doesn't seem to be updating (as in, the modified time in explorer is when the files were first created at the game boot time), and if I close the emulator and come back, the game acts as though I never saved.

Has anyone run into a similar issue/does anyone have any ideas on how this could be rectified?

Update! Since other games were saving just fine, I figured it had to be something specific to Paper Mario. I managed to figure it out, and thought I'd share here in case anyone else ever runs into this.

I figured it out using CEMU's save logging. For some reason the game wasn't creating the full save file structure. CEMU was creating the meta folder within 1f600a00, but not the "user" folder, I basically copied the structure from someone else's save file but removed the data files except for cf.bin. This solved the problem entirely!
