Not sure if this is a bug, or a commonly known error but hoping someone can help.

Haven't managed to get as far as getting the Dreamcast online yet. So I've been busy reaquainting myself iwth the console offline.

PSO is high up the list and I've spent a few hours plodding through the forrest and trying to defeat the dragon. When I fail (I'm currently level five) I'll generally save and exit. Only problem is, when I reload the game and load my save file I have to work my way through the forrest all over again. But my items and level are preserved.

Is there a quick way to skip to the last played area, rather than having to re-do all over from scratch??
