Memory Card Corrupted

[Aplayer12345]

I was using savestates in Wind Waker, and when I tried to save, it said my memory card data is corrupted. Memory Card Manager lists the Wind Waker save as "yyyyyyyyy" or something like that. I deleted it and now I obviously lost my save file.

The biggest problem is, this affected ALL my save files excluding Super Mario Sunshine for some reason. When I try to export any other save file, it simply says "Export failed". Uhh... help?

I've broken my memory cards using save states on Windwaker. If you loaded a savestate from before you do a memory card save and then try and do a memory card save, it can corrupt the card. Try switching the type of memory card in Dolphin to the GCI folder and launch a game. It will decrypt the card and save everything as individual .gci files

How do I do that? I see no option for it.

I didn't even see it. Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I still need to regain my progress because I deleted my save file and the other save files got corrupted.

Are there any disadvantages of using GCI folder instead of memory card?
