Hi, I've been watching and helping my bf out a little in a Black 2 nuzlocke challenge through parsec. It always crashes here and there (we assume its because we always speed it up while playing) throughout the hours/days but we can always just restart it and load our save states, worse scenario he just had to restart his pc for it to work. But an hour or so ago, it crashed so we did the usual restart programme-restart pc but the saves just won't load/open anymore. Is this a files corrupted issue and how do we salvage the save states? Any insights or solutions would be highly appreciated, please help. Really would like to be able to not have to restart all over :(

    (i might have created a ticket in the wrong segment im sorry) also my bf's mentioned the vers might not be newest, the last time he's used it was 2 years ago-

      If desmume is running poorly enough that you have to restart your computer, then your computer is very unhealthy. If you must continue using this unhealthy computer (dusty fans, failing power supplies, leaking capacitors) then make frequent backups of your saves.

      If NONE of the old saves open, then either your computer is about to drop dead, or you don't understand what you're doing with your files. you may have suddenly started using a different (differently hacked?) rom which doesn't match the "saves" (savestates? dsv battery saves?) you have.
