I booted up MelonDS, opened my Professor Layton ROM, and found all my load states had been deleted. Then, I tried Mario Kart. Same thing. Somehow, all of my save states, across all my games, were deleted. I know I did not touch any settings. Does anyone know the problem/solution?


Strange Update: When I open the ROMs through my "downloads" tab in files, my saved data is there. However, when I open those same files in my "Nintendo" folder, the saved data is gone. Is it possible to merge the two? Is this an illusion? A trick? Any help would be appreciated.

it has something to do with the save data being stored in the rom from which folder you originally open the rom from , im not exactly sure how it works but from what ive seen if you open the same rom from different folders you will have different save states in each of them

I believe the Save states are written to a hidden file within the folder of the loaded ROM. Perhaps its possible to copy these files if you enable the viewing of hidden files. I'm not certain though.

they are not hidden files, just regular ones in the same folder as the rom.

what exactly do you mean by that? Where and how did you save the rom files?
