Changed the location of my Global User Directory and now all of my data is gone

Quote:1. 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?

portable.txt will only work if it is within the same folder as dolphin.exe. Basically just go to where your dolphin executable is, and if you see a text file named portable, delete it.

Quote: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?

Dolphin will not mess with your files, either positively or negatively. That means you do not need to worry about Dolphin deleting your saves or anything of the sort, but it also means that any transferring of the files to a different location is up to you.

If you didn't delete the files in the documents folder, then they are still there safe and sound waiting to be utilized.

Quote: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?

The largest memory card for the GameCube was 128 megabit (2035 blocks). That is 16 megabytes!

Though this probably should be in mibibit and mibibyte instead but at this scale it doesn't make much of a difference. If you don't know what that means, google it and join us in our annoyance~
