Save file corrupted? Lost? Unknown error

[unibrower]

hey everyone so after checking up on the status of v8 rejuvenation i downloaded it ready to continue the game. havent played since i beat the last part which was april ish. opened up my v7 file before transferring it to check my team etc, no save file was detected although i have all of it in my computer..i opened up v8, no save file. i transferred my game data in v7 hoping it was just a glitch, put it in the v8 folder and still had no option but to start new game. any idea on what to do, and how i can get my save file back? i have no clue how its gone, the save file is there, the whole entire game folder is there, computer has no viruses and hasn't crashed...help? also im on a mac.

ALSO - the EXACT same thing has happened with my reborn file, yet i see my other 590 save files still there with reborn. just when i click it to start, new game, like i never played before

Do you still have a game.rxdata in the respective folder? If not, change one of the back up's name to "game" (rejuvenation/reborn needs this data to run the game).

So, if you don't have a "game.rxdata" in this folder, change the "399 - pawpa - 41h 36m..." (if that's your last back up) name to "game". That's the only thing I can think of.

i did have it in the right folder, and i just tried changing one of the files name to game and it didn't work. i don't understand how this is possible, all the save files haven't been touched in my computer, it even says the last day i used the game...how did these files get deleted just like that? my computer doesn't have a virus either. it took forever to finish and catch up to part 8...same thing happened with reborn, i haven't touched the file in months but when i click it it just gives me the new game option. i cant figure this out for the life of me, how are they deleted but literally right there..
