Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi,

I have downloaded Dolphin to play my collection of NGC games.

1. I cannot change resolution in Fullscreen.

2. After downloading Dolphin 3.0, all my savefiles are gone? (Solved. Solution: Move the MemorycardA.USA.raw file into the Dolphin 3.0 > User > GC. folder.) V

3. I get the message Memorycard is corrupted and needs to be formated. (Solved. Solution: Only appears once, and that is when it needs to create a memorycard savefile in the savefolder.) V

4. In some games my FPS drops below 20 and it starts lagging.

5. In Ocarina of Time, in the menu, where you see Link, his picture portrait is completely messed up.

6. Most games seems to be 1.4GB, however one game (Luigi's Mansion) is shown as 186,6MB.

7. Majora's Mask (from Collector's Edition) keeps crashing repeatingly and i get this message: ERROR: Trying to compile at 0. LR= 00000000. Followed by Dolphin.exe crashing.

Solved: 2/7. Thanks.

1. Alt-Enter.
2. Ofcourse, you have to copy+paste them in the new emulator folders. Right-click the game and go to the save folder. Copy the structure perfectly over to the other revision.
3. You get that if you run Dolphin for the first time.
4. Play with the settings.
5. Play it on the N64, the Gamecube/Wii even emulates OoT... why emulate it twice?

I am in the Dolphin 3.0 folder.

Where is the saves map?

Depends on what type of game you're playing; Wii or Gamecube?
With Wii games you can just right-click the game in Dolphin and click "Open Wii save folder".

Pay attention to the folder structure, they have to be exact.

For Gamecube games you have to go to /User/GC.
The file should be called something like: MemoryCardA.USA

I have two files in Dolphin 3.0 > User > GC.

MemorycardA.USA.raw and SRAM.raw.

Which one of them is the Ocarina of Time savefile?

MemorycardA.USA.raw and SRAM.raw.

None of them is the Ocarina of Time savefile, the savefile is obviously in the Memorycard you see there. Just copy it over and see if it works.

@emupal
Dolphin doesn't write a save file for each games, it's a single file for each MemoryCard.

Ok, i managed to drag and drop the MemorycardA.USA.raw file into Dolphin 3.0 > User > GC. And it works, I'm now playing from where i left before the Dolphin 3.0 installation.

What's the SRAM.raw file and what is it useful for?

I suggest you do not touch that. Not sure what it is.

Anyone know what the SRAM.raw file is useful for, should i delete it or just leave it alone?
