Shutting Down Resets!?!? - AnonGamer - 09-10-2016
So I just found out that when I shut my computer down that my Dolphin/GameCube memory card is DELETED!?!?!?!?!WTF Why was I not informed of this!? I am furious right now as I was about to beat the very ending of a game!!! Why has this happened and is there anything I can do to prevent this in the future? I swear if there is no preventing this, then I am going to lose my mind- Oh wait I already did after a lost a game save with over 80 hours clocked in!!!

Dolphin doesn't delete your memory card or alter them in any way when you shutdown or restart your computer. Something outside of Dolphin caused that. Imagine how many upset people there'd be if this was a common issue that was never disclosed

Yeah, Dolphin doesn't delete anything on shutdown, once it's not running it's really not running. It's not touching files or anything.

I found out that Dolphin was making a new folder for some reason, I just got to change the folder location. But I did find the original save. Phew * wipes sweat from forehead *

Do you know what the old folder was and the new folder? Randomly doing stuff isn't fun.
