No, loading savestate (also from commandline) works fine for me. The only thing that can be wrong is the slot number. If the savestate file name is *.003 you need to specify "-load 4" (not 3). Btw does it work from the gui? It's the same thing. If you launch psx4m-gui fromn the terminal you can see the command line that is used to launch the emulator. EDIT: the next gui update will have options to set the corners actions.
