Sonic Adventure 2 Battle saving problem - Korados - 01-15-2016
Hello everybody,
I have a strange saving problem again. Recently, I started to play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle again and went through the Hero Storyline.
When I was finished, I closed Dolphin. But after I opened it again, the game said that the save file is corrupt and has to be deleted!
So I tried playing the Hero Storyline a second time. But when I was finished again, the same thing happened!
What can I do about this? I used Dolphin 4.0-8700 and I always keep it on default settings. The only thing I changed was
that I used Single Core Mode because of the graphical bugs.
I hope you can help me with this.
Thank you very much for your help!

I also had a problem with saving in SA2B in dolphin. After I completed a level, it turns out the memory wasn't recognized or something like that and I had to continue without saving. I also couldn't save any chao progress at all for some reason, it would just get deleted after I left the chao garden. I recommend using save states instead of relying on the game saves. I never rely on game saves anymore. Save states are probably the main reason why I prefer emulators to consoles.

Please no, that is a horrible idea.

Save States work but in my opinion the "normal" saving options should work, too! How does it come that the game
suddenly kicks out the game save? I never saw this on any other game when I used Dolphin! Is there anything I can do?

Sorry for double posting but I assume that one of the cheat codes might be the problem. But I'm not sure. There's a timer reset code I used. Maybe this corrupts the data.
I tried to use a save state but when the game wants to save normally after a stage, it says that there is no memory card.

Try using GCI folders instead of a memory card and see if that does anything, just for shits and giggles.

Timer codes tend to cause big problems when it comes to saving, so, definitely could be the issue.

It's a good idea. I had problems with SA2B save before I used any AR codes. This thread makes me think the problem is specific to this game. But I am curious what's causing the problem. Every other game saves fine.

But when I try to use save states and finish a stage, there's an error message that no memory card could be found.
Shall I post this as an issue on the issue tracker?

I just selected "continue without saving" and saved state after I completed the level. It works for story and select mode, but not chao world for me. Chao world requires memory card saving. I think you should since you're not the only one who had this issue with this game. I happened to play this game as well, I wonder if anyone else had this problem.
