Ookay, yes I did the latest version, which was released an hour ago if correct. The Hyrule Speed back is seen and chosen.
However, as I am using this new version of dolphin, are my save states gone?
In the old version my files were gone and someone advised me to create a text file called portable and place it in the dolphin folder, that helped.
However this time it doesn't seem to work. Any tips to continue my game? Or should I start over?

If you have made save states, the new version of Dolphin will recognize them but not be able to load them. If you have made regular in-game saves, they will work fine regardless of the Dolphin version.

Normally, Dolphin stores saves and other data in Documents. If you create the portable.txt file, they will instead be saved in the same folder as the Dolphin executable. If you used portable.txt with the old version, you will either need to copy the User folder to the new Dolphin executable and create a portable.txt file there, or you will need to copy the contents of the User folder to the Dolphin Emulator folder in Documents without creating a portable.txt file for the new Dolphin executable. I recommend making backups of directories you touch before you do anything in them.
