It's not wise to keep the save type on "automatic". There are two solutions that might work. First, make sure that there is no existing save file in the folder where the rom is located. Go into the save type options and choose either 1. SRAM, and 64 save size 2. EEPROM, and 64 save size. If that doesn't work you may have a bad dump. You should go find another one if the above doesn't work.
