When it comes to game emulation, if I load a save state to a period before my current save file, will the save file be overwritten or deleted?
I was playing MGS1 on the Beetle PSX libretro core, and I accidentally pressed a hotkey that loads a save state. When I loaded the save state, it took me back to the title screen and I discovered that my save file is gone when I went to load the game. I went into the save folder inside the RetroArch installation folder, and the .srm and .mcr files are still there. I don't know if they've been overwritten or are still intact.

They should still be intact if you reload the game
Backup the save files for extra security first if they are still there

I thought that would be the case; however, I went to reload MGS1 and it just says "No File."

That happens a lot. Don't mix save states with regular saves. Honestly I would just used save states only on emulators. If you want to be pure then just use a save state at points in game when you're supposed to save at an area.

Yes.
