Dolphin Netplay not loading save files

[Escaif]

Hello!

So, I'm trying to play Smash Bros Brawl over netplay with a friend to complete Subspace Emissary (the story mode) in coop. Of course, we want to save our file so we can continue a different day too. We have checked the following options:

- Data -> Write Save/SD Data
- Data -> Load Wii Save
- Data -> Sync Saves
- Data -> Sync All Wii Saves



- Options -> Configuration -> Wii -> Allow Writes to SD Card





When we boot up the game and play for a bit, we can see it did save the game since we can now access our save file playing offline. But, for some reason, Dolphin isn't loading the data when we go over netplay; we get the prompt to create a new save data file every time we boot up the game.

Does anyone know why this is happening? It would be greatly appreciated if someone helped us. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

EDIT: I got the saving/loading files to work. Although now I'm trying to use a .elf to mod the game and use it, now it's just launching the .elf when it doesn't load the save data.
