Netplay Saving Dokapon kingdom

[Velandor]

Has anyone been able to successfully save a Netplay session of Dokapon kingdom. My friends and I live apart now and have a tradition of playing this game once a year and are unable to if we can't save the game.

I was looking at previous threads where it says saving on netplay with Wii games was not a feature yet, but that post was in 2015! Does anyone know how to make dokapon save\ if it is possible to get it to save through netplay?

Some tech details: I have Insert SD Card checked in the wii tab of config. As well as Write save/SD data - Sync Saves - Sync All Wii Saves - Load Wii Save all checked off in the netplay menu.

Thanks for any assistance.

The netplay menu should have all the options you need to do saving. Use the latest development builds as they have the most fixes to netplay.

What you do is "Write Save/SD Data" - that will allow the game's save to be exported into your main NAND.
Sync Saves - This is always good to have on and will make sure any saves for the game are synced.
Sync All Wii Saves - Not Needed - this is only needed if you're playing more than one title in a netplay session, like using a homebrew title to load another game.
Load Wii Save - This is fine to have on and will load your existing Dokapon save file from your main NAND.

So what happens is, when you play with those settings on. It loads your normal Dokapon Save File onto netplay, and then exports it to your main NAND when you're done. Because Load Wii Save loads the save from there, you can easily continue from it next time. And since we can sync Wii saves, your friends will automatically get the correct savefile.

Thank you so much! Downloading the latest development build did the trick!

Just a warning - the save is only kept if you SAFELY exit Dolphin. If Netplay , the save is still in the blank NAND and will be deleted once you start Dolphin again! So make sure you back it up if something goes wrong.
