Load game going into a black screen. Saved right before the motor ball boss

[DarknessNova]

Had no issues with the mod up to this point, but now I can't load my save file. Maybe I shouldn't have turned it off after defeating the boss to check if it had a morph under new threat mod 

Tried launching off the game with no mods on, same issue. It "loads" the game but it displays a back screen. I can make the game over screen show up by pressing L1+L2+R1+R2+Select+Start, but that's the only interaction I can get. I can also start a new game no problem, but that ain't happening, heh. Playing on steam version

It's not clear what you're playing/using. That soft reset shortcut is not available in the 1998 version (which is what 7H uses and you put a screenshot of). 7H doesn't touch your saves in any way. But then you say you're using Steam... Are you using Reunion? FFNx? FFNx had some issues with save files recently.
