Hey everyone!

I've been running Dolphin for a couple years now with no issues - loving it!

I recently moved my Dolphin rig from Mac to Windows, and I copied the "Wii" folder from my Mac Dolphin files and replaced the same folder on my Windows machine. (The goal here is to transfer savegames aswell as NAND for Wiimmfi.)

All my games play, however I've noticed Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy are unable to save data. For example, I can access my old play of Skyward Sword and make progress, however when I go to a bird statue and hit save, then close and reopen Dolphin, all new progress is lost.

Strangely, I am able to make and edit Miis in the Wii system menu and they still save.

I did some Googling and some said it could be a permissions issue but everything seems fine to me.

I've tried running as administrator.

Has anyone else had this issue before?

Thanks!
