Get a lawyer. Call both prosecutors and tell them. Get a lawyer. Don't commit crimes.

You do not state what type of appearances, but you may be able to retain an attorney to make a "special appearance" for you at one of those. You might look online for an attorney near you who makes one-time court appearances.

Hire an attorney, you will have to attend the superior court and prove you had to the inferior court. Do it wrong and you are in more trouble.

You need to call the courts of both cases and see which one can be rescheduled or have an attorney do it for you.

You go to the oldest one and hire you a lawyer to go to the newest one and postpone it.

Tell both courts of your conflict by phone, letter or motion (whichever the court allows/requires) and see if one of them won't adjourn their matter to another day.

It depends on what kind of case each is, but I definitely would let both Courts know. Call each judge's secretary and tell them.
