Hello all,

New to this forum.  Decided to reach out for some help after banging my head against this problem for a while now.

I'll give the full situation:
Played a lot of Final Fantasy IV The After years.   This is a WiiWare title that has DLC that allows additional stories to be played.  2 different WAD files installed.

Everything was working perfectly for some time and I had many saves at the end of all of the different stories.  A couple years ago dolphin updated or I tried a different version to play a different game and after that this game no longer recognizes that I've ever played it before and acts as if there are no save files at all.

I've tried everything I can think of.  It looks clear to me that all the save files are still here but for some reason the game just doesn't think so:

This is pretty much the only game I've ever played extensively on this emulator so I'm not entirely sure how everything works.  
After reading on these forums I even started a new game, went through a little bit of the game and made a new save in slot 30 to (hopefully) not overwrite the existing ones and then reset the game and went to load and still no dice.

Am I missing something?  Is there any way to possibly force the saves to load into the game?  

Any help anyone on this forum could provide me with would be so amazing.  


Thanks in advance
