Migrating from SH4 CD to Digital Download?

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

It's my humble opinion based on what I've learned from these forums, you can NOT play old saved games that are in your old SH4 Folder. They would now be incompatible.

You would do better by entirely deleting your old SH4 Folder from Documents and then run your newly installed game, which will create a new SH4 Folder. Go to Options and redo Audio, Graphics and Game Play options. If me, I'd then sign out of the game and reboot the game to play.

Hope this helps.
