Netplay not Saving

[Meowzila]

Myself and 3 others were playing Dokapon Kingdom(US) through netplay with minimal gameplay issues and were saving regularly and seeing our save file within that netplay session just fine. After leaving the netplay session, we came back to find that our save file does not exist.

I tried troubleshooting this issue and could not figure out any solutions. I can save in non-netplay and load the save in netplay, but any saves made in netplay do not appear.

I have tried creating an SD card raw, selecting it through the config [Wii] and selecting "Write to SD card" in netplay, but still nothing.

This is a weird issue considering that we've playing Dokapon Kingdom through netplay before and never had issues saving/loading.

Maybe I'm missing something simple or some default setting has changed since the last major dolphin iteration?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure there was a setting called exactly "Write to SD card"? If you're using the Dolphin version that your profile says that you're using, it should be called "Write save/SD data".

Thanks for replying.

Yes, it did say "write save/SD data" and that was checked. I did not go back into netplay to check the exact wording of the setting, my bad.

I have also tried loading with/without the "Load Wii Save" option to no avail.

Any idea if this might be game-specific or due to some change in newer dolphin builds?

what version of Dolphin are you using?

[Meowzila]

We were all using Dolphin 5.0-8253-x64

We found an issue where Netplay wouldn't flush saves if you didn't have a savefile to start with on your NAND. This is a preventative measure to prevent users from corrupting their NAND.

We're going to be adding some extra Wii features soon enough that should prevent this in the future.
