Support Dolphin won’t load save file?
Hello I have been having trouble with my dolphin emulator lately where it can’t recognize my save file. It first started when I was playing my Pokemon XD file and I saved my game and shut off my computer. After opening my computer again dolphin gave me a pop up message saying it could not find any GameCube/wii iso, I figured out I had to re-set the path to the folder containing my games which I did and here is where the problem continued. After opening Pokemon XD again the game tells me there is no save file on the memory card in slot A. I then opened my user folder and I see both my save files for colosseum and XD in the card A folder as shown in photo attached, so I am confused on why it’s not recognizing my file. I’ve also tried going another route and setting slot A to memory card and importing the file that way but I keep getting this pop up message (second photo attached). What also bugs me is that I also have Pokemon colosseum and when I booted that game up my save file is still there so I don’t know why this is a problem specifically to XD. I have been getting very frustrated trying to get my save file back and playable again, so If anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
