Dolphin 4.0 refuses to read or create memory card files

Also known as the five hundredth user confused and complaining about this topic.

Anyway, upon tying to save anything, Dolphin 4.0 refuses to recognize any files I have the memory card pointed to, and doesn't seem to be making any. Input on this topic would be greatly appreciated, as I tried running back previous stable releases of Dolphin, which created a save perfectly fine. (Which D4.0 doesn't read.)

While an obvious solution would be to run at a previous release, they just don't run as smoothly as 4.0, so that's not really an option.

Again, I'm sorry if this has been addressed in a previous thread that most likely got buried deep underneath other topics.

How have you determined that dolphin isn't creating memory card files?

Because I looked in the region where said memory cards would be created, and when I go to make a save on a game (which, in theory *should* make a new card file) it comes up with an error message saying it cannot find the .raw file. And even when I point it DIRECTLY AT a working .raw file, it still says it cannot find it.

Is there some process I'm missing here?

Ok.

I'm not sure if there's an error code attached to it because I don't see it.

Also, it did this when it was pointed at the default. (memorycardA.raw)

Additional Note: It's pointed at a .raw file that is actually valid. (As it was generated by 3.5)

did you install dolphin to
"my documents"/dolphin ?
and are your memory cards in
"my documents"/dolphin emulator/gc/ ?
if so make sure dolphin is closed and go to
"my documents"\Dolphin Emulator\Config\
and either delete Dolphin.ini (resets all main settings)
or open Dolphin.ini and remove the lines that start with
MemcardAPath
MemcardBPath
don't config the memcard from within dolphin and simply attempt to save in a game

--EDIT-- this should almost certainly fix the problem

Alright! Yes, that worked!

Of course, silly me tried to muddle with the memcard settings when initially setting up Dolphin 4.0.

Thank you for your help!

no worries, this issue is only encountered in these exact circumstances because of a small string comparison error
the path was being switched to a relative path because the path of dolphin.exe was the same as the start of the memcard path
