I using Swiss of homebrew software for gamecube console, and copy the original gci file of game save to sd gecko adapter, then copy the gci file to my computer where dolphin use the save file, it should be my document->dolphin emulator->gc->USA->card A, finally I lauched the game, but it couldn't identify any save record. I've noticed that the native name of gci file I've copied from the console is different from that of dolphin self generating, say, like 08-GCDE-RE_CVX.SYS.gci, while the console one is RE_CVX.SYS.gci. Is this key of the problem?

I found some gci could be identified, some not, so what's the problem?

My fault! It should not be used by Swiss file management while it should be used by GCMM. With gcmm, I backup the gci file and used it through Dolphin successfully. Dolphin identified it, automatically loading the save. The below link is the GCMM downlaod site, just for someone who wants that.

there's nothing magic about the filename, just a different choice of what makes the name, you can even change the filename if you'd like.

not sure why the swiss one doesn't work. if you upload it, maybe myself or someone else could take a look

I would like to upload it, but prompted: "The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type."

You can just change the extension or put in a .zip

for some reason the filename is the header is different than a normal gci exported from dolphin/gcmm they all are prefixed with `carda:/` [Image: cdpTvkw.jpg]

hex: `63 61 72 64 61 3A 2F 67 63 7A 65 6C 64 61 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00`

vs 67 `63 7A 65 6C 64 61 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00`

I don't have my disc handy to rip/test it, but if you fixed the filename inside the header I think the saves would be fine.

I guess just use gcmm, unless you feel like trying to get it changed in swiss

Yes, using your method, I fix the save, it can be used on Dolphin!
