The latest version of the emulator corrupted my save file in Pokemon Legends Z-A. I attached the corrupted version and the uncorrupted version of the save file as well as the custom configuration for the title.

Hello there, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I have already tried the program, however the tool does not fix it correctly. But the reason I opened the ticket isn't to complain or anything, I just wanted to make you aware of the problem in the hopes it might be fixed inside the emulator, because I can confirm from testing that this corruption happens every time you save and wasn't just an isolated instance.

I have an update about the situation. I have found the root cause of the corruption. It seems like that the cause of the corruption was installing Update 1.0.3 of the game. It seems to be specific to Legends Z-A only with this update. When I uninstalled all updates I could save normally again. I still believe that this is something that should be addressed at some point, but at least the issue isn't as widespread as I first believed.
