Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I am presently running the WiiWare Majora's Mask on Version 5.0-17893 of Dolphin on Ubuntu. I encountered a bug in which the audio failed, which, while trivial on its own, also caused the ocarina to cease to function. Though other inputs work, inputs in to the ocarina simply don't register, or if a song is somehow played only one note shows up and Link gets stuck in the animation forever. Given that this is the primary method of saving the game...
I still have some save states and was wondering if there was any way to fix this issue and recover my save data. Thanks.

Can you save at an owl statue and then restart without loading a savestate?

Oop! I didn't know that was an option. Thanks a bunch! You've saved me from a terrible fate...
