Woulf

A few months ago I download Dolphin mainly to play Wii games.

It works well & all but I have 1 problem.
After playing a few weeks or maybe a month, my Dolphin.exe file can't be found anywhere & I need to reinstall it.
This isn't that big an issue but the biggest problem is that I lose my save data from that. This happened 3 times already.

Can anyone help me out with this?
Or at least tell me how to easily back up & load your games save data?

Regards.
I´m pretty sure your AV is messing with Dolphin.
I'm not aware of any way that Dolphin would delete all of its save data automatically. There's most likely some other program messing with it (either an anti-virus program like the previous post said, or something else).

If you want to back up your save data, you can make a copy of the Dolphin Emulator folder in Documents.
