Can't get memory card to work for Animal Crossing

[zergling50]

The game runs fine, but it keeps saying that the memory card cannot be found instead of asking to reformat it. I could use save states, but since Animal crossing is a game that relies on the current time a lot save states mess that up. When I try using the MemCard manager it says that the memory card file that came with Dolphin is not big enough to be a valid memory card file. I'm not sure what to do. I'm new to dolphin so I apologize if I'm doing anything stupid, and thanks in advance for any help. If you need more information on something specific just ask.

Delete your MC and let the game create another one

I tried this but the game doesnt create one. As soon as it starts up it just says no memory card can be found in slot A. There is also a file where I found the memory card called SRAM. Do I have to delete this too?

Try to place these clean MCs in User/GC

I placed these in and it says "Oh No! You can't use the device inserted in Slot A! Please insert a Memory Card into either slot A or slot B."
I'm really sorry for taking your time but appreciate you trying to help, how do I set those files up so that it will recognize them?

What about MC Manager? Does it find your MC?

Try to use a fresh build. I see you're using Dolphin 3.5 . Try latest ones

yah it recognizes them. Not sure what to to them with MC Manager though. Also, will updating dolphin delete my save states? I would rather avoid that but if it has to be done I'm willing.

Yep. Savestates can't be used from a build to another one.

Try with a new build and see if it works at least
