Description

I'm not too sure what happened but I can tell you the issue.

I was playing LOZ:OOT and I was trying to beat the game that I couldn't do when I was younger, but when I reached Ganon's Tower I closed out of the application and I my save data was gone. I did save and it did work before this.

I still have my SRAM of OOT, and .BAK too. But I can't get the Software to read it.
Here are the files: (Yes they are in N64\SaveRAM)

Any ideas?
