Hi,
I'm reaaaally new to this, so please bear with me!
I recently downloaded the VisualBoyAdvance emulator and have been playing a game on there for a while now. I was saving it under "save game" and in different slots as I went on, but I was avoiding shutting down my laptop in case it wasn't working. ...aaaand today, it restarted on its own and I lost everything.
When I go on there now, there isn't anything in the slots; they're empty. In my folder for the game, there are files which I assume are my saves. They're all called "2377 - Mother 3 (J)(WRG)1.sg1", "2377 - Mother 3 (J)(WRG)2.sg1", "2377 - Mother 3 (J)(WRG)3.sg1", etc. All the same, just with different numbers at the end. I clicked on the most recent one, and it comes up as an error that says "unsupported file type". Kinda confuses me why the emulator would save it as a file type that doesn't even work with it?
I would really hate to start over from the beginning, but that's probably what I have to do, right? lol, I just thought I'd try to ask people who actually know what they're doing with this in case there's any way I can fix it. And if there's not, how do I stop this from happening again, in case my computer restarts on its own again?
Thank you!
