Pokemon Colosseum (JAP) doesn't recognize save - ananas - 12-12-2016

I've downloaded a save file from the Internet which I happen to know to work, but the Celebi Bonus disc and the game don't seem to recognize it at all. I have imported it into Memory Card A.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

What is your setting at Config -> GameCube -> Device Settings -> Slot A?
If it is "GCI Folder" (I think it is the default one), you have to put the .gci-file into Dolphin Emulator/GC/JAP/Card A/. You can use "Export CGI" to get an .gci-File to work with.

Slot A is set to Memory Card. The memory card is formatted to NTSC-J so I have no idea why it's not working.

I've even tried running it from the GCI Folder with the GCI file in the appropriate place but that doesn't work either.

Maybe some sort of exception for this game?

I saw this on Nintendonts Github... May be of assistance? https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/issues/195

what's the full filename of your memorycard in the screenshot?

Dolphin uses different filenames by region so (somefileName).usa.raw will only be used for ntsc-u games, ...eur.raw for pal and ...jap.raw for ntsc-j
