Importing Wii Save Files results in corruption - NonoTeal - 03-24-2019
I tried downloading a save file for Rhythm Heaven Fever from GameFAQs and it failed, and I made sure that the regions both matched, and it did.
The save file ended up corrupting my game, but I had a backup save. I tried the same with New Super Mario Bros Wii and got a corruption screen as well. Both saves from GameFAQs
I'm not sure what the issue is, (I'm using 5.0-9766) and it leads me to either the fact that it's either Dolphin or the Save's fault. I just wanted to get a 100% save for RHF so I wouldn't have to restart from the beginning.
The saves were .bin files and I've tried multiple methods. Renaming the .bin files to a .dat file, hex editing, etc. None of it would work.
I've tried posting this on the dolphin emulator subreddit and still haven't been gotten back to yet, (probably because I'm not patient, sorry.)

This is solved, you just install 5.0 Stable and import the save from there, then go back to 5.0 9766, and the save is imported.
