I have deleted the entire Dolphin Emulator key within the registry editor, but where would I find a portable.txt file if I have accidentally created it? It is likely I didn't but I want to make 100% sure. Also, when loading the memory card in the memory card manager, should I be choosing the "MemoryCardA.USA.raw" file? Because it does not seem to be working when I do that. Could you elaborate on the steps I would need to take in the MemCardManager?
Dolphin shouldn't "wipe" data because you are just changing the directory Dolphin is looking in and it intentionally doesn't wipe old data (where should it look? + worrying about possible data loss) or transfer it (you may want to quickly create new empty profiles).
Just to be sure, you deleted the registry keys "UserConfigPath" and "LocalUserConfig", correct? (Deleting the "Dolphin Emulator" folder inside the registry also counts). If so, and check if you haven't made an portable.txt file by accident.
You can also check the (Gamecube) Memory files (Tools → Memory Card Manager) to see what data is on them. It should fill out Slot A with the path Dolphin currently uses, and you can load a new memory card file (and also check the subfolders for .gci files, which is just an extracted GC memory card) to see what is in your backup folder.
2. To be clear, I did not make a backup of my dolphin emulator folder until after I created/deleted these keys, are you saying that every step I have taken before this wouldn't tamper with the files in the Dolphin Emulator documents folder?
3. My "MemoryCardA.USA.raw" folder is 16MB, is this a normal size for this file with saves loaded on it, or should it be bigger? (I have only played one game so far on this system)
I apologize for not understanding some of this stuff, I'm decently new at this kind of thing.
I've attached pictures of both my Memory Card Manager and my GC folder within my documents Dolphin folder.
