Project 64 saving problem

Some time ago I formated my computer, so I saved my Project 64 and my Majoras Mask-ROM in my USB, believing since I saved all progress I did in the game through "F5" all the save files must somehow be in the ROM-file or whatever... turned out not so and all my progress in the game was gone.

Although I just discovered I got a file called "MAJORAS MASK.fla" in my documents, and I'm suspecting it's my original savefile, how do I get it to work when I start the game?

Would appreciate help

From what I know a fla file is a 1964 save state file. This file will only work with the original dumped rom. Also I'm cretin the rom has to be the same name as the save. You need to put that fla in the save folder.

MAJORAS MASK.rom in your rom dir.
MAJORAS MASK.fla in you 1962/save

I can not see to figure out how it knows what save bank though? PJ64 users .pj1 meaning saved in slot one. So you may need to try loading all 10 slots.
