Donkey Kong 64 save problem

I'm experiencing a weird glitch in DK64 where the game can only retain one save file. Originally, my game has NO save files for whatever reason (it may have been corrupted, or I was playing with too many save states), but I have a save state with save files 1 and 3. If I load this save state and save in game, I can quit and DK64 will return to the menu screen with save files 1 and 3 saved as normal. Problem solved? Well, no. As soon as I reset the emulation, the game only retains the save file in which I saved the game. If I saved in save file 1, only that will show up on the menu screen, while save file 3 will be empty. If I save in save file 1, quit, load save file 3, save again, then reset, only save file 3 will be retained, while save file 1 will be empty. How do I get the game to save both save files 1 and 3 properly?

Um... never mind. I just discovered that the problem is unique to the way PJ64 1.7 names save states. Once I went back to 1.6, everything worked out fine.
