Load slot and lose saved files

HI!

I think veteran at Desmume had at least one time met this scenario. So I was playing Pokemon White 2 on my 2 months old account, and I almost beat the game. Suddenly, I pressed, like, a random key on the keyboard and it loaded SLOT 1 and made me START LITERALLY AGAIN AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE GAME!! I tried to load the last saved file but it DISAPPEARED. When I realized it, I was frustrated. I know that my 2 months worth of account is now lost, forever. I couldn't believe that this happened.

To anyone, especially admins: Please help me to get my account. I was literally sobbing with regret. If you can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Sincerely,

zeromus

Search for "backup" subdirectories in the State Slots directory. Also you may be better off not using savestates at all so you can't make that error, and you should also make your own backups of documents you spend 2 months working on, or even 2 hours. Do you treat your homework so carelessly?

Thanks, I appreciated it. You're the best!
But I am new at this emulator. So after I found it, what do I do with it? Hope you helps.
I'd really want to send you a screenshot of it, but sadly I don't know how to insert it on this forum.

Open the rom, drag the .dst onto the window. Presto, your old progress is there just like it was never gone.
