I last used Dolphin back in 2012 and had settings back then perfectly set up. Can I just install over 3.0 or should I start fresh with 5.0? If starting fresh from 5.0, what files do I need to move from 3.0 to 5.0? I know that StateSaves are where your saves are saved at but I am not sure about the rest in the User folder as old settings may be obsolete and may conflict with the newer version. I also noticed there is no Plugins folder no more. Thx in advance.

It would only make sense to copy your gamecube memory cards, and your wii saves/your wii nand. The Savestates won't work anymore, and a clean start with the settings is a good idea anyways after a long time.

User/GC (Gamecube MC) and User/Wii (Wii Nand Root) correct? Is the User/Wii also where Wii saves are stored as well? Just realized StateSaves are just custom dolphin saves for any location/time for a game and not the actual game saves. That being said, I do see StateSaves in 5.0 as well so why would it not work no more?

Savestates are not compatible between different versions of Dolphin because it is basically a snapshot of what the code is trying to execute. If you change how the code executes, then you can't reload that old snapshot since its expecting different things.

All of those are correct.
