Last Story not saving to savedata.dat - luizedu - 03-11-2012
Hi,
In a given part of the game I got a FIFO overflow error. The next time I was playing through that chapter I used many save states as Dolphin would often crash. Once I reached a save station I tried to save my game, but I couldn't, an error would show up (ingame). I deleted my savedata.dat and afterwards saving (apparently) worked, but I can't either load the save files nor load checkpoints; the game claims they are corrupt.
My diagnosis after some further research is that the game is not saving to disk, it creates/modifies no files when saving. Furthermore, every time I try to save, even if I've deleted the user/title folder, the same saved slots show up, as if the game is saving to and retrieving from the memory. I needed to find out some way to dump to disk the "imaginary" save file dolphin is keeping on RAM, is it possible?
Running:
Win 7
i5 2500k 4Ghz
Radeon 6800
8GB
Dolphin-r6505_DKTOS_MH3_FifoBsy_L8_x64_SSE42
(Old revision, I know, but it worked well crash and performance wise so far; and since I am dependent of save states right now, I can't use a different one)
Thanks

Old revisions are not supported. If you choose to use old revisions with fifo and save-state issues instead of official releases, then you have to deal with those issues. Next time find the main game thread for your game in the game discussion forum and post there instead.
