Memory card always gets "wiped"

[nintendo_nerd]

I don't know what is happening, or why, but every time I launch a gamecube game in Dolphin, it always tells me to create a new memory card save, even though I have said saves in the user/GC folder (MemoryCardA.USA and MemoryCardB.USA). Every time I load, it happens. My Wii NAND is fine, but the raw memory card saves, Dolphin always behaves like I deleted it when I didn't. Maybe my deciding to use unofficial builds is what's causing this, I don't know. No specific gamecube game does, all of them do it. I had a save with several things unlock in Soul Calibur 2, but when I updated with a newer emulator build, it acted as though I erased the save, but it's still there in the folder. Is this a know issue with newer builds?

Dolphin version: 3.5-1056 GLSL Master Build x64

No changes were made to the directory locations, specifications in signature (updated)



Again, the saves are there, but Dolphin thinks they've been "deleted".

Just use the latest official build or the official stable 3.5.

I think Dolphin might be looking at the wrong Memory card file. Try this out, it might fix it:

Options > Configure > GameCube > Device Settings > Slot A > ... and browse to your MemoryCardA.USA.raw file.

Now start the game.

Well, I see no reason why not, after all, I finally have a machine that can actually RUN Gamecube games.
You're referring to 3.5-1060 from http://dolphin-emu.org/download/ right?

I'll try that. Thanks!

Yes.

Or just the 3.5 Stable.

Looks like it was the emulator simply not finding the location, so I re-selected it and now the files load fine. Thanks!
