Save data corrupted for all games

So I haven't been playing on the dolphin since early April. I decided to play tonight except I was greeted by a warning that the memory card was corrupted and needed to be reformatted.

Is there any way this can be fixed? I'm looking at the MemoryCardA.USA.raw which hasn't been modified since I last played it (04/08/16) and I'm thus confused as for why this occurred.



Edit: It might be worth mentioning but I did reroute "My Download", and more importantly and relevant "My Documents" (since under My Documents, there is a folder made by Dolphin where the memory card is "stored"), from my C drive to another drive I called X. I did this directory reroutes in between April and now (last month I believe actually) so I don't know if perhaps something stayed in the C drive that is causing the memory card to corrupt.

I would prefer not restarting my progress on my games if possible.

Your memory card is probably not corrupted. Rather, my guess is that Dolphin cannot find your previous card, and is using a new, blank memory card (which is detected as corrupted because it hasn't yet been formatted).

Make sure Dolphin is configured to use the correct card.

and where would I look to have it look at the memory card? If its the Memory card manager menu then while by default it doesn't show me anything the directory is pointing to the correct folder and when I hit browse MemoryCardA.USA.raw is already seen there double clicking it shows me the memory blocks etc. but I'm still getting the corrupt memory.

If its another options menu where am I suppose to look.


Or is it not even MemoryCardA.USA.raw I'm even suppose to be looking at and maybe something else?




edit wait I found it. While memory card manager had (as it should have) automatically pointed to the new location. The other option menu I wasn't looking at (Device setting under Dolphin Configuration) was still using a folder from my C drive where my documents previously was.

Thank you leolam
