Exporting save states to another revision

[melki]

hi im playing Super Mario Sunshine using the revision 7442. but im having some problems like the sofware freezing or closing itself, slowdowns n unreliable save states.

Ive reading some threads and it looks like the best i can do is to use older revisions 5xxx,4xxx or 6xxx.

but i dont want to lose my saved states or those GC memory card saved states, so is there a way of exporting any saved data to another revision?

Hey do this and backup the following:

./User/GC/MemoryCardA.USA.raw
(./User/GC/MemoryCardB.USA.raw)
./User/GC/SRAM.raw

USA could also be EUR ot JAP depending on which region you have of your games.

Thanks for the reply but that's what i did, but it doesn't seem to work...everytime i paste the files to an older revision folder the dolphin is always asking me to format the card...after starting the game :p...

Well this is the proper way of doing it, and this is always how I export and import my memory card files.
I think it's strange that it asks you to format it, you're sure it isn't a blank memory card file you trying to import/copy over and the one with the saves have been accidentally removed?

i always copy the files from

\Dolphin-r7442\User\GC\
MemoryCardA.USA.raw
SRAM.raw

to

\Dolphin-r6499\User\GC\
MemoryCardA.USA.raw
SRAM.raw

if i play SM Sunshine in the revision Dolphin-r7442 the saved data works ok, but in the Dolphin-r6499 (or another revision) it doesnt work

---

it works now!, i did exactly as before several times n now it works! thnx Gabriel Belmont
