Pokemon Sword Save data corrupted after recovering files (Attempted to load an unsupported file type/size)

[malmizal55]

Hi its my first topic to start here and my English is not so  fluent so plz  I hope you could understand me

 

I was using yuzu to emulate my pokemon sword and I played until the 2nd ending and other dlc endings. Yesterday night I was playing pokemon sword as usual and I accidently opened yuzu twice, and qt plugin error had popped out. I ignored the error message and I could play the game normally. However when I tried to play yuzu today I could not open yuzu so I reinstalled the emulator looking up reddit. I found out that all I needed to reinstall was the plugin files (there was an alternative way to reinsall anyway but I found that after I reinstalled yuzu) and what I did was deleting system files and reinstall it. Therefore all my saves and information got cleared and I managed to recover some files by using data recovery program. 

I tried to open the save file via pkhex to see if all my saves were reserved but I got the error message attempted to load an unsupported file type size. I searched about this error and realized that my save data was corrupted. Is there a way to fix my save? I don't think its the pkhex problem bc I could open my most recent backup main folder (the one I backedup after the 1st ending) and I could open my save file flawlessly before the troublesome recovery. I could neither open the game because when I launched the game it crashed only showing question marks, and I could say that the save file was corrupted. When I launched the game again, my game file was deleted.

 

So my question is this 

Is their a way to solve this error? All my backup save files that I recovered has the same error

Attempted to load an unsupported file type/size. This could be caused by loading a different generation Pokemon file on an unsupported generation or your file is corrupt

File Loaded: C:\Users\me\appdata\roaming\yuzu\nand\user\save\0000000000000000\B480B8~1\0100AB~1\main

File Size: 1603146 bytes

1603146 bytes (0x 18764A)

Also is their a community that I can question problems with yuzu? I found out that I couldn't go through the opening in new super mario u deluxe which worked great before, but now crashes after the opening after the reinstallation and I need a place to question this also

I've tried reinstalling pkhex and open file via pkhax but none of these worked

I attached main file - the one with the problem - and main the one that works well - the latest backup save I have that works perfectly.

main main the one that works well

@malmizal55 this is your main.

 

it's completely blank. it's not a save.

[malmizal55]

The save file might have been completely corrupted after the recovery. Is there a way to fix my situation? Or do I only have to start from the backup save file

[theSLAYER]

Given that the main was obtained from your recovery, I doubt your recovery as of now.

in your folder, is there a file called "backup".
Could you upload that here.

[malmizal55]

OK so here are my backup files and these are all corrupted too I think

 

backup main

This just looks like you never saved in-game even once, and/or you retrieved the files from the wrong folder.
They're completely empty.

It’s weird because I used to use the save files flawlessly before you can check it out on the second main file attached on my first writing.

If the second save opens in PKHeX on your end, then there's no need for me to check it is there?

[malmizal55]

Yes I think so. I’ll just have to start again from there or I’ll just delete it Thanks for your help

[theSLAYER]

you could just continue the game with that working save. We can't do anything about the empty files you attached
