Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I was playing Pokémon XD and I got pretty tired of 4.0's audio issuses so I decided to try the latest versions.
One of them (From 4-5 days ago) had a very weird bug but it didn't bother me that much. (Pressing the main/C stick down would register as pressing it up, doesn't happen in the control config menu)
Anyway, I was about to save so that I could keep playing on a newer version but guess what ? The savefile's corrupted and it won't let me save. It just tells me to delete it.

Here's what I've tried:
1)
Deleting the memory card/save file, creating a new one for the game itself, using a savestate to get back to where I was just to find out the game can't save  because "it isn't the original memory card that was used to save the game."

2)
Deleting the memory card/save file. No save file available so yeah, didn't work either.

3)
Tried to check if the game's code was correct with Notepad++, nothing wrong with it.

None of them worked so far. What to do ? I don't want to lose ~15 hours of progress.

Upload your save file and someone might be able to fix it.

Done. I haven't saved in a long time since I've been using Savestates 24/7.

Had to upload it on mediafire, tried uploading both the .raw and the zipped file but got this "The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type."

Use in game saves whenever available. You could extract your save states and try using them on an updated Dolphin version. Re-download Dolphin and try using your save states on there, see if you can in game save from there.

Also, before trying to load your save state, make sure to format the memory card by loading the game normally.

Yeah no that simply doesn't happen. "Can't load save states from other revisions".

Also, I tried using the game-format method, didn't work either.

I'll try to fix your save state. Hold on--

Wait, do you mind that this is an in-game save? This is not your save state.

Yeah, I told him to upload an ingame save

.. Let me explain again.

Problem: Dolphin 4.0 has some audio problems.
Solution: Switch to the latest version.

Problem: Can't use Savestates on newer versions.
Solution: Make an in-game save.

Problem: In-game save is corrupt, can't save. Can't waste 11 (15 tbh) hours of progress.
Solution: ???

When I try to load your memory card, it says that you have no story mode data.
