Vba save problems. Please help.

I used to play a lot with FireRed and LeafGreen a couple of years ago so I decided to set it up again and try some of the other games. What I actually did is find the exact same folder I had and this is what it contains:

Pokem~ersion (USA).gba
Pokem~ersion (USA).sa1
Pokem~ersion (USA).sav
Pokem~ersion (USA)1.sg1
Pokem~ersion (USA)2.sg1
Pokem~ersion (USA)3.sg1
vba.ini
VBA.exe

Now when I try to run VBA I don't see the save states (which the sg1 are supposed to be if I'm not mistaken) and the game loads from a save I don't believe is the last one I used. When I change the .sg1 files to sgm I can see them but VBA crashes when I try to load them.

I then decided to start anew with another game so I started playing Emerald. After playing for a couple of days, I ran VBA but there was no save there. These are the contents of the Emerald folder.

Pokem~.gba
Pokem~.sa1
Pokem~.sav
Pokem~1.sgm
vba.ini
vbalink.ini
VBA.exe

I can load the save state but I don't see the game save. I also don't know where vbalink.ini came from.

Can someone please explain how sav files become sa1 files? Or when the vbalink.ini is created?
