Hi,

I'm using Dolphin 3.5-2343-x64 (Windows 7 x64) to play some Wii games and have some saved games in it.

Few days ago, wanted to try out 4.0. So I downloaded one of the dev 4.0.xxx(forgot) version.
Unzip the ver 4 into a new folder.
Created a portable.txt in the folder.
Copied User folder from my 3.5 to this 4.0.xxx folder.

I understand that the saved games in old version might not work in new version, just curious to try out 4.0.

Played some Wii games in 4.0.
Noticed it can see some old saved games(dated Aug) instead of the latest saved games(dated Oct).
Weird, since it's only 1 saved game per game profile, don't know why the old saved games still there when it should be replaced by the latest saves.

While some games cannot see the saved games at all.

Nevermind, since I didn't intend to use 4.0 at the moment, so I just deleted the whole folder away.

Today, I wanted to continue some games in 3.5-2343-x64.
To my horror, the game is showing me the same old saved games(dated Aug, same as in ver 4.0) instead of the latest saved games(dated Oct).
And saved games of other games is gone too!

I don't know what's wrong with it or what has happend to my saved games.
I don't know why 4.0 will affect the data in 3.5 folder.
Is the 3.5 reading from some cache or temp files created by 4.0? But I have already deleted 4.0 few days ago.

Is there any ways to get back my saved games?

Thank you very much!

Hate to break this to you but you probably did something that messed up your saves. Dolphin 3.5-2343-x64 (as long as it is the master branch) is before the global directory merge and as you also used a portable setting with 4.0, there is no way they interfered with each other. Your 3.5 saves where probably already messed up when you copied them, sometimes savestates may mess up your saves.

I have just tried out Dolphin-master-3.5-2291-x64 which I have stopped using few weeks ago after copying the User folder over to Dolphin-master-3.5-2343-x64.
And I have been playing with 3.5-2343-x64 for several weeks to continue the saved games which I have copied over from 2291.

But now, Dolphin-master-3.5-2291-x64 is having the same problem too.
One of the games can only find an Aug 31st saved game.
No saved games found for the rest of my games.

Yes, I have used savestates to save games but I seldom load from savestates.

But saved games in 2291 should be OK since I copied to 2343 and they were working in 2343.
And I never used 2291 after that.

In fact, both were working before I tried out 4.0.
2291, 2343 and 4.0 are in different folders, don't see why 4.0 portable will affect the other 2?

You might have made a copy paste error somewhere.

I don't think so since it's just a simple copy and paste.
If I did it wrongly, then 4.0 won't be seeing my controller profiles, etc .....
