<ul></ul><p>I can also tell this is an issue with Dolphin and NOT Gecko since without Netplay, such as just running normally or on a real Wii, the save is loaded.</p>

<p>Ah, I see. That's a bummer. Thanks for the quick reply; hope a fix is found some time, as I really need my save to work on Netplay.</p>

<p>I might have an idea. So the save doesn't actually seem to load AT ALL when the game switches even if it's enabled, so I propose that when syncing saves to enable, you can also choose to sync over saves from multiple games manually at launch.</p>
<p>So in this case, I could choose to sync my Brawl save manually so the bug wouldn't need to be fixed.</p>

<ul></ul><p>We have seen it, but personally I'm not sure if it's the best solution UX-wise. It's a rather tricky problem to solve in a user-friendly way.</p>

<p>Okay. Sorry if I seemed a little bothersome back there it's just I really need saves on Netplay. Please do update this ticket if a solution is ever added.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I have a second idea that may be a middle - most save-games are stored in a single folder within the NAND, maybe we can just sync that folder? Again, we didn't want things to get too big.</p>

<p>That sounds like it could work. Again, anything that fixes the issue or works around it is good enough to me.</p>

<p>It's a logged issue, and spamming it does nothing but annoy developers.</p>

<p>Spam<br>
I literally wait over 15 days before making another post if anyone doesn't say anything.<br>
In what world is a single message per 15+ days spam?</p>

<ul></ul><p>It's spam to make these kinds of posts at all. We know about the issue since it's logged. All it does is ping IRC and make a bunch of people roll their eyes.</p>
<p>What you don't seem to understand is that Dolphin is an unpaid project. We don't have any sort of SLA. The emulator could not boot for anybody at all but there would still be no real <em>obligation</em> to fix it (Other than the fact that nobody could work on anything until it is). Issues get fixed when a developer finds the time and motivation to fix it.</p>
<p>So please, we appreciate the time you took to file this issue so we can track it and have it documented but pinging it like this will get you nowhere.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I understand that... but I actually didn't know this put messages in an IRC room. Sorry about that one.</p>

<ul></ul><p>We decided an option to sync all Wii saves, instead of only the current title ID, is the most elegant way to solve this issue.</p>
