MemCards/Save States: Cross-platform compatible? - newherehello - 06-09-2013
Hi all, sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but it should be a quick one... I have GC save states and memory card files on a Mac. Would either (or both) work on a PC? I would like to continue playing the games I have Mac saves for on a PC.
If so, maybe someone could show me where to find out how to set that up.

Memory card saves are, not sure about the save states, they might be.

Save states are likely cross-platform if you're using the 64-bit version of Dolphin on both (spoiler: if you're using current dev builds on OS X, that's inevitably 64-bit). But save states are problematic, so don't ever rely on them. Memory card saves are invincible, and they handle different OSes just fine.

Awesome, thanks! And you just copy the memory card file into whatever the equivalent windows directory is, and the game will figure it out?

Yes..

With Memory Cards no problem. But save states suck so try to avoid them
