Heya, I've been playing Renegade Platinum recently and noticed that DeSmuME had created 5 folders on my desktop. Stupidly, I removed them not realising that the emulator needs them to be on the desktop. I was playing as I removed the folders and didn't notice anything wrong until today where I went to load up the game again. My game doesn't show my save file and acts like it's my first time playing, even though the folders are back on my desktop and the .dsv file containing my save is in the 'Battery' folder.
I have tried:

1. Removing the new .dsv files that the ROM creates from the battery folder, leaving only the save data I'm trying to recover

2. Converting my save data to .sav (using both an online converter and simply changing the file extension) and then using 'Import backup memory'. Doing this causes the ROM to reset, but still not recovering my save data.

3. Renaming the .dsv file I'm trying to use to the .dsv file the game uses. The game just makes a new .dsv file
