memory card corruption after formating - falcon-wars - 09-16-2016
Hello;
a while back i did a reset (format) my windows 10 pc, before doing so i did copy all my library folders including documents. upon reinstalling dolphin ( might not be the same version) whenever i try to play the legend of zelda the wind waker the game says that the memory is corrupted, the memory files in fact exist and are named :
-MemoryCardA.EUR with .EUR format
-MemoryCardA.EUR with .RAW format
-MemoryCardA.USA with .RAW foramt
all are in the directory "C:\Users\Falcon-Wars\Documents\Dolphin Emulator+1 - Copy\GC\EUR" --> the (+1) is due to prevent dolphin from accessing the folder and wipe data for this backup
i tried using the memcard manager on them and it does not show anything while afterwards i played twilight princess and it showed the save for it in the new memory file after the format dolphin did.
my question is: is there any hope to get the save back? because i was very close to the end.
i hope it's clear ^^
PC SPECS
GTX 680 - i7 3770k - 8GB ram -Windows 10- Current dolphin version D.0 - 9507

You may used "CGI Folder" (See Config -> GameCube -> Device Settings -> Slot A) and they are stored in GC/<REGION eg EUR>/<CARD eg Card A>/*.cgi.
Also, the .RAW-files are usually stored in GC/*.raw...
If those files are there, just copy with the same folder structure and set Dolphin to use the "CGI Folder"-Setting.

i checked there is no .gci files and i don't remember changing the save settings. and the .raw files are in the correct directory.
