Game Name?
Legend of zelda - Wind Waker

Game ID?
GZLP01

What went wrong?
Couldnt press any buttons after getting the Ghost ship chart
Cant save, tells me that the memory card is corrupted, only on Wind Waker

What did you expect to happen?
That the emulator worked

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I quicksaved so i cant start the game from the same position without the problem occuring

What version of Dolphin were you using (please test the latest version
from http://dolphin-emu.org/download first, 3.5 or 3.5-367 are not valid
tests!)?
Everytime i download a new version none of the memory cards i copy to the memorycard folder are working

64 or 32 bit Dolphin?
64 bit

What version of Dolphin used to work?
Havent got so far with other versions than 3.5-367

What Operating System were you using and what are your hardware
specifications?
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel i5 2500K
GeForce GTX 580
8 GB RAM

64 or 32 bit Operating system?
64 bit

Any other relevant information or links to logs:
I was playing Wind Waker and i couldnt save the game normally, so i had to quicksave. Other games works without any problems, if i download a new version of dolphin and when im tell the emulator where the memory cards are located it asks me if i want to copy the old cards to the new folder, i choose no, and then it wont load the savegames.

Please test with a newer version. 3.5-367 is extremely old.

-Don't ever rely on savestates. They're highly problematic, they aren't portable between builds, and they retain settings you may want or need to change, e.g. DSP emulation settings.
-If your memory card is corrupt, you're supposed to wipe it, duh. Export any working saves if necessary, then re-import them once it's wiped.
-Using LLE with "LLE on Thread"/"DSP on Dedicated Thread" unchecked will fix the issue you're having, but you can't take a savestate made under HLE and load it under LLE. Thus, your savefile is fucked.

The memory card is working, just not on Wind Waker.

Tools > Memcard Manager, export all your other saves, wipe the card by booting a game, then re-import the saves. Direct any further support requests to the forums. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/
