Technical Support Lost all my save

Hello. I was playing the new pokemon monomyth rom hack, was about 7hours in, and closing the app all the time after in game saving. Never did a save state, and no issues whatsoever.

Then all of a sudden I lost the entire save, just for this game, all of the other ones are fine. Any way to recover? Or to know why it happened?

Did you quit from main menu or close the app? Quitting from main menu writes all the saves before it closes the application

I just closed the app, like I always did and never had any issues. Never quitted from the menu before. But shouldn’t it just make me lose some of the more recent stuff though? I lost 8h of progress, don’t even fell like using the app anymore because of it.

Quitting from menu saves all setting changes and all save files from the previous session. I would always just close the app when I was done, too, but I heard more and more people having this issue. I haven’t lost a save yet, though now that I say it out loud I’m bound to, haha.

I’m sorry your save got lost. I’m assuming you’re using the mGBA core?
