Checklist (we expect you to perform these steps before opening the issue)

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.
I have re-dumped the game and performed a clean install without mods and the issue is still present.
I have disabled all patches and cheats and the issue is still present.
I have all the required system modules installed.

Describe the Bug

The 9th version of the program has stopped seeing saves since the 6th version, after the update. There is only a selection of a New Game in the menu. But if you start a new game and reach the first light, and then exit the game, there will be a Continue button on the next launch.

Reproduction Steps

The saves themselves are in the folder, but the emulator does not see them. After trying to replace the new saves with the old ones, the emulator does not see them again and asks to start a New game.

In v0.9.0, we fixed a bug that caused some games to save to the wrong CUSA folder.
In Bloodborne's case specifically, the various GOTY editions should save to the same folder as their non-GOTY counterparts now, instead of what they did before.

And how do I find out what the correct folder should be called?

The GUI should be updated to account for this, just right click on a game and go to it's save folder.
If you need further help, I suggest visiting the shadPS4 Discord server and asking there.

I'm facing the same issue - having recently updated from v0.8.0 to v0.12.5, shadps4 no longer loads my Bloodborne save. I have copied the contents of the old CUSA03173 folder to the new CUSA00207 folder, and even then, it is not recognised

All I can suggest is to ensure you've copied your save to the correct location, and didn't miss files in the process (if you had a save in CUSA00207 already, you would need to overwrite that with your old save).

It can help to create a new save, then look in the shadPS4 user folder to see what folder is generated. You'd want to replace what it generated with your old save.
