So hey guys, this n00b is back again, needing your help.
I've been keeping up with the latest Dolphin downloads (it isn't part of the issue, but none the less), and I accquired several copies of Dolphin just sitting on my Desktop. So I decided to go and delete everything Dolphin related. (Cleared Documents folder and any folders sitting on my Desktop, and then cleared them out of the Recycling Bin.) This way, I can start fresh and new. Well, on the launch of the Kiosk Version of Starfox Adventures (it was like this even before I deleted all the files and folders) it says I need to go to the IPL to format my memory card.
I attempt to go see what the issue is, and since this is a brand new start, I shouldn't have to format my memory card, imo, as there is no reason to, I have nothing there but the default memory card;
and that default card just happens to be in Japanese, which is the set location for the game;
So you would think that's compatible, but apparently it isn't, as it is still telling me I have to format it. Yes, I can use SaveStates, but like with other games, I would love to be able to save my game data. (It may just be due to the Kiosk version being just that; a Kiosk, which is fine.)
I just want to know for future reference, if I do play a game that isn't in the right region, how I would go about formatting a memory card, especially since in the newer versions of Dolphin, Skip BIOS cannot be tampered with, to access the Memory Card Manager, however if you launch a game, it'll show under Config as enabled, when if you're not running a game, it's not shown as enabled, but you still cannot touch the feature.
Below is my memory card screen, and the file I use in Slot A (since this is a brand new, fresh start, I have yet to play a NTSC game to even create a save for);
I'm about 80% it's because it's the Kiosk version, but just to be safe, I figured I'd go ahead and post a thread about it, especially if I encounter it on the final retail versions of any games that happen to be out of the original region. Thanks guys!
