Question 
I was playing Spyro A Hero's Tale, and was going to use the state saves as I have used them with other GC games on dolphin and they've worked perfectly fine. However, when loading the Spyro state file, Dolphin just froze so I'm guessing it's the game and not Dolphin.

The advice I'm guessing I'd get was to use in-game saves. However when I do it comes up with 'wrong device in slot A' and I can only continue without saving (which I don't want to do!).

I went on Tools > Memcard Manager (GC) and Browsed to choose MemoryCardA.USA.raw but then I get an error message saying 'Failed to read save data (0xA000-) Memcard may be truncated' With this I have no idea what to do, but it's really starting to annoy me, I've looked everywhere online with no success.

I'm using a Mac if that's of any help!

Thank you Smile

You likely corrupted your data by using savestates, if you upload your memory card you might be lucky and someone can fix it, assuming you've saved at all XD. If you didn't save just make a new memory card to save on.

Protip: Don't use save states in Dolphin. They aren't nearly as stable as they are in the average SNES emulator.

Another protip: use Time Machine or put your memory card in Dropbox so you have a versioned backup of your memory card in case it ever gets corrupt.

I don't care about fixing the memory card really, I just have no idea how to make a new memory card D: please can someone give me some advice?

I try not to use state files but if you read my first post I don't have another option as it's not working Tongue

Just use slot B instead, now if that doesn't work, you're in trouble :p

Does it say the same thing when you only have a card in slot B?

I don't thing the memory car manager will help anything, but I'm talking about Settings > GC > Slot B > Memory Card, make sure nothing is in slot A.
