Not saving GC BIOS settings?

[Tadrio]

I'm using Dolphin 3.0 Win64 (Build 226 dirty) on Windows 7. It is equipped with GC BIOS and set to not skip it.

When I fire up Dolphin and the GC BIOS appears, it tells me that system settings were lost and that they have been reset. However, this happens every time the emulation is started. The settings seem to never be saved.

I disabled read-only mode in the emulation menu since/even not knowing what it does... doesn't make a difference here though. I also see that the SRAM.RAW file, where I suspect the system settings should be stored, is written to every time. Still, the settings are always lost.

Can Dolphin be somehow coerced into actually saving the GC system configuration?

What settings are you changing? Most of them are in Dolphin anyway.

Well, it's not really about the settings per se, I'm just wondering whether I can somehow keep the warning from showing up every time I boot into BIOS. I believe this is also what prevents the regular boot animation from playing?

For me the GC IPL are working fine... (Maybe you have a bad dump?)

I suppose it's possible... I have a bad track record at it!
Although it would feel like quite a coincidence that all the rest of the BIOS seems to work fine, including the Memory Card manager. So just to be sure, with your IPL you don't get the warning at every boot?

My IPL starts fine (without any error on startup)... It even change the boot sound from a baby style when holding Z on Controller 1 and to a Ninja style when holding Z on the 4 controllers..

That's good to know! The problem must be with my BIOS then and not with Dolphin. Thanks!

your ipl is probably fine, (dolphin checks the hash of it on load)

your sram.bin file is probably corrupted, delete it and dolphin will recreate it
