cant play save off a backup save gamecube

[StudMcMuffin]

i had a problem where dolphin would no open i went on Google and people just say to re download dolphin. I went to the GC folder and copied both of the folder inside to my desktop.
the folders were MemorycardA.USA and SRAM. When i finished re downloading dolphin a setting up my settings and selected the memory card backup as slot 1 (i also put the files
back in GC).

When i started up Zelda twilight princess my SAVE IS NOT THERE it just shows 3 open slots to start a new game.

Please help
Thankyou

Go to Config > GameCube, make sure Slot A's set to Memory Card, and click the "..." button next to it and point it to your MemoryCardA file.
