Pokemon moon saves won't open after newest update

Citra Support
1

Issue:
I updated the citra nightly from 1980 to 1984 and when I started up the game it put me far back from where my last save was.

The saves show the last updates and when I try to jump to them it gives me a black screen and error popup.

Download this Citra version: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/download/nightly-1880/citra-windows-mingw-20230409-cdb157f.7z
Extract it, open the extracted folder and open citra-qt(.exe) load your saved rate there, save in-game and then load the in-game save in the latest Citra version, so you can play on the newest version.

Citra has two kinds of saves available to users, in-game saves and save states.

In-game saves are the ones you know from the 3DS. These can be shared between devices and are recommended for general use, as they do not corrupt as easily.
Save states, on the other hand, save Citra’s entire emulation state. This includes Citra’s configuration, a game’s RNG seed, as well as any faults in the emulation at the time of saving. This makes them very useful as a tool for practicing in-game tricks, or for usage in shiny hunting and other RNG related trigger events. However they’re not suitable as replacements for in-game save files as the faults in the emulation state would keep building up until the emulation state is too unstable to load properly. They’re also non-transferable because they are made with one setup and only one and can break with any Update.
