Hey,

When I play Pokemon Colosseum it says "The Memory Card in Slot A is corrupted and must be formatted. Would you like to format the memory card?" I format the memory card so I look in the GC file and No Memory Card file is made. All that is in the file is "SRAM.raw" and "SRAM.USA.raw". How do I create a memory card so I can play? Also after I press yes to format it says " The game data can't be saved, continue without saving?" If I press it just takes me back to the main screen where you have to press start.

Thanks for any help Smile

sram is not a memory card... why did you set the memory card to sram?????

no matter, just re-extract dolphin use the default setting for memorycard.
also, which version of dolphin are you using? in recent versions you are prevented from choosing invalid memory cards

I haven't selected SRAM as a memory card, there problem is the memory card file (the one where it's called something like memorycard.USA.raw, not exactly that just something similar is not in the same file). I'm using Dolphin 2018 version.

this file would not exist if you haven't

there is no 2018 version of dolphin unless you mean svn r2018 (which is really old),
look at the title bar or the about screen

the downloads seem to work here, you can also download dolphin 3.0 here http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/downloads/list

there are also various builds posted by forum members, try with 3.0 or newer

are you still on the old svn version? update!
I just booted up pokemon colosseum (ntsc) on a newly extracted dolphin 3.0 started the game, formatted, and immediately memorycardA.USA.raw was created

maybe you are pressing b at the format screen instead of a?
