New to emulation and not very computer savvy (using a MacBook). I am trying to unlock all of the custom clubs on Mario Golf Toadstool Tour so I can play with my buddy, which requires linking to Mario Golf Advanced Tour after unlocking all the clubs in that game. I do not feel like playing Advanced Tour for 10 hours to unlock them all through gameplay, so I used a GameShark code to receive all of the clubs on the full, separate version of mGBA. I am trying to load that save state (.ss) into Dolphin by saving the state on full mGBA and then going into Dolphin and loading it as a save state in the link version included in Dolphin.
When I try to load the save state in the built-in mGBA Dolphin completely crashes and I have to reconfigure my BIOS settings. This leads me to a few questions
-Is there a way to put a GameShark code into the built-in Dolphin mGBA so I can just unlock all the clubs on the same emulator?
-Has anyone else experienced the same issue when trying to load a save state from the separate version of mGBA into the built-in Dolphin version? Is it even possible to do this?
-Could the GameShark Code be corrupting the save state?
I also tried to generate .sav files from the full version of mGBA to try and load those into the Dolphin version but I can't figure out for the life of me how to make the mGBA full version save games as .sav. I tried saving from the menu in Advance Tour but it still generates .ss files.
Apologies if that was long winded or has a simple solution, again not too experienced with all this. Thanks.
