upgraded from -367 to -2199, wii saves seem to have gone missing

I upgraded 3.5-367 to 3.5-2199, and have now seemingly lost my savegame information. My User\wii\title\ dir has two subdirs, 00000001 (containing a dir "00000002", which contains a dir "data", which contains a 256 byte file "settings.txt") and 00010000 (containing a dir "524b3545" with a dir "content" that has title.tmd, and a dir "data" with 4Mb worth of banner.bin, FLF.bin, and 30 .jpg files that aren't actual images).

I tried to import the data from the 00010000/524b3545/data dir, but neither .bin file is considered a wii savedata file. Is there any way to find out where my savegames went?

Could you try upgrading to https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/df7b4da13b9fd33ef2c9ae18cdfbf1d16fa981b4/ instead and see if you can reproduce this bug?

the save import feature is for the files exported either
  • by using the export feature in dolphin
or
  • by copying to a save to SD using the system menu on your physical wii system.
the files in the emulated nand 'user/wii/title/...' are not the "general purpose" data.bin files used for transferring saves between wii, but files within savegames.

to transfer files located within the wii/title folder, you can simple copy the title folder from one installation of dolphin to another

I understand your reasoning for suggesting this, and by all means OP, try this.
but if I understand the OP correctly he is misunderstanding the wii save import feature.

I simply went from one version of Dolphin to the next, assuming that the /user/wii/title information would still be understood. Using export on the old version and then import on the new probably works (will try in a bit) but my confusion came from the fact that installing the newer version of Dolphin apparently does not carry over active saves. It somehow resets something to make the newer version not see saves created by the old version. (reverting to the older version by overwriting the dolphin dir with the -367 files makes the saves show up again, so it seems like the newer version of Dolphin changed how savedata works)

New versions haven't changed anything related to that. You probably overwrote your save files by error.

I agree with that. I've been using the same saves since 2009 and I didn't have any problem. Simply cut and paste the User/GC and User/Wii folders.
