Game doesn't save

[bageren]

Hey. I searched a lot on google to solve this problem, but nothing worked so far, so i really hope you guys can help. When i played Skyward Sword on my old computer, the game was really laggy so i wasn't able to enjoy it. Now i got a new computer and decided to give it another try. On my old computer, i had no problems saving in game, and save states were no problem either. I moved the save files from my old computer onto the new one and put them into the same folder as on my old computer, but it didn't seem to work. I then decided to start over since i didn't get that far last time anyway, but even when i start a new game i am not able to save anything. When i am ingame it says that it saved the game successfully, but the next time i enter the game it says there are no saved games. I found out that i made a savestate on my old computer which i thought was my last chance now. For some reason i made it at the place where you have to pull up the goddess sword. It had no problem loading the savestate, but when i pulled out the sword and was about to load another scene, the screen went black and nothing happened. So now i really don't know what to try anymore. Do you think you guys can help me solve this problem? Would be much appreciated.

You may use DSP LLE and Openg GL to beat the game entirely
If you don't have the hardware to run dsp LLE you can beat the game in dsp HLE and sometime you need LLE to avoid crash
Opengl is needed a the end of game

Hi there, can't save huh?
are you using your old hard drive in your new computer?
was the old computer running windows?
was the drive formatted with ntfs?
if yes your current windows installation probably doesn't recognize you as the owner of the folder that dolphin is in.
try running dolphin with elevated privileges by selecting run as administrator.
if that fixes your save game trouble then you need to edit the security settings of the folder (and maybe all your old folders made during previous windows installations) delete the old unrecognized accounts and take ownership of the folders.


or i'm completely wrong and have no idea whats causing your problems. good luck
