Save file suddenly not working anymore

[Nitsu29]

I am using Dolphin for now 5 Years and something like this never happend to me.

I played Paper Mario The Thousand Year door and after trying to save, the emulator created a new save file, which was odd to me. Saving still worked normal but on that new savefile. after restarting the game no savefile couldn't be loaded. i headed to the Save file directory and saw this:

   

The first file is the new created one, which will not open in game and isn't accessable, even after correctly renaming it and the second file is a working savefile which is accessable but is older, so i lost progress

Can someone tell me why this happened?

I have heard of this happening, but in the case of this game, only in old builds of Dolphin that supported fractional resolution scales... You are using a recent development build of Dolphin, right?

Were you using any cheat codes? (Not really sure what could have caused it, so just trying to narrow it down...)
