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.


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

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

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~

When I try to open my MemoryCardA file in MemcardManager the field comes up completely blank save the labels for each section (i.e Banner, Title, Comment...) Does this mean that this memory card does not have my game data on it? When I changed my global user directory it was to a folder on a different drive, would this mean I am supposed to find my Memory Card file there, or would it still remain in the original documents folder? If it is supposed to move to the other drive, I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
