Today after an annoying problem with my PC I had to format it and reinstall everything.

Of course I made backup of all my files but, as always it seems that I lost something.

I use Visual Boy Advance, specifically a modification of it called VisualLink. I saved my files regularly using the virtual Flash ROM the emulator provides to save "in game".

But now, after everything is done, all my files have been moved back, I was testing it and the save file is not recognized anymore. It doesn't show a corrupted message, it simply would not recognize the saved data.

I'm not sure how to fix or workaround this.

The saved data was done after a lot of gaming time and I really don't want to have to do it again. I appreciate your time.

  • What is the file format of the files? Are they .sav files? Also, how are you trying to load the files?

  • Initially I was using the "normal" version o VBA, which produces *.sav files, but due some requirements along the game I needed to exchange/mix information with another character, played by myself, and then I started using VBALink, which produces *sa1, *sa2... accordingly to the application instance.

    Alright, next question: How are you trying to load the files? Are you using the load command in the menu? Or something else?

  • Actually, once these files acts as virtual flash ROM I was loading them through game option. Unfortunally I did not saved the current state as a "Plan C".

  • Do you mean VBALink instead of VisualLink? Also you may have to set the save paths correctly if you modified the in your previous setup

Check the emulator settings. You most likely have a different save type, you should try to change that and reload the game. If you don't know your old savetype, you'll need to try.
