NTSC-U is primarily designated for USA, Canada, and Mexico, PAL is generally for Europe, and NTSC-J is for Japan. Some game discs have more exotic region differences (Korean, Australia) but usually you can just worry about if your game is NTSC-U or PAL. Dolphin should also tell you (it shows flags in the GUI). At any rate, NTSC-U and PAL saves are fairly easy to convert, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll try to get thing the save sometime within the next 24 hours (shouldn't take me that long, but hey, it's my week off, might get lazy :p or busy...) and post the link for you.
And yes, save states can mess up a game. Be sure to check the MD5 hash like I said. If your dump is corrupt, then having a clean save doesn't help much.
Oh. I see! Yes, it is the US version then. I don't think the issue is a corrupt dump, others have used the same one and it has worked for them. Plus the game has been running quite smoothly all the way up until that specific point. From the sound of it the issue is corrupted save states, since they have been giving me some problems and I've been using them a lot.
Again, thanks so much for doing this for me, I really appreciate it!
