in-game saved file gone =(

[emugamer28]

I have this folder where all my games are inside, plus the ePSXe application + related config folders. Games including FFVII,FFVIII and FFIX (not placed in separate folders). Yesterday I played FFVII just fine, then after a while I stopped playing and then decided to rename the FFVIII files in the games folder so that it'll look more organised and stuff (Disc 1 to Disc 4). Then shut down computer. Just now I tried playing FFVII, but ALL saved files in the game were gone, including the ones from FFVIII and FFIX. So yeah, I'm panicky right now. My question: do the missing saved files have anything to do with me changing the FFVIII file names? And what should I do to fix it?That's all I did, renaming files, nothing else.

Thanks!
