Action Replay III - Giving Error " Not a Dos Track"

So I'm using to ways to save freeze and save games using SA and SPM commands according to the manual and videos. I have a fully functional disk drive, and brand new fully function floppies that are working with copying games. When saving it doesn't say okay and I proceed to insert the original game disk and get with the game, it says " not a dos track" even after I formated the blank floppy and they all are brand new. They are PC line disk 3.5 DS DD disks that are 1.0 MB 135 TPI Track 80. I have older 3M mint in box disks as well...No external drive.
What should be done?
Apparently, this is an issue with others:

What should I do? Nothing seems faulty with my Action replay 3.

How are you formatting the disks you are using to save the files? Does the dir command work on your newly formatted disk?

Was recently told to format them in the OFS file system via workbench. Not sure what you make of that?

The disk should be in ofs format and you should always format disks with verify.
I just tried it on my ar3.
formatv
Y
Let it format -> Disk ok
sa testsave
Waited for it to save -> Disk ok
dir -> my new file is visible.
