Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I downloaded v3661 of Dolphin and loaded up Super Mario Galaxy. I then go and start a new game with new profile and play through a ways through the first level before the princess is captured and then do a emulation--->Save State ---> Slot 1. It says its saving state on the console window... and then I continue to play through a bit further and then I shut down dolphin, and come back later.

When you start up Dolphin the Emulation menu option is greyed out so I need to first load the Super Mario Galaxy ISO , and start up the game, then the Emulation option becomes available. I then next go back to Emulation--> Load State--> Slot 1 and it loads exactly where I saved, but then there is NO keyboard/mouse control. So I can't control the game or even bring up the Wii Home meun by pressing "H" on the keyboard. If I close Dolphin and then reload and start all over again, I get back keyboard/mouse control.....

Can anyone help me or know how to resolve this? Is this not the way Load/Save state is supposed to work?

Any help would be appreciated.

What kind of question is that? Save like you do on your real GC/Wii , what else??? -.-
And also normal by simply STARTING the game and choose your savegame in Titlemenu or whatever.
