hello maybe you are here because wandering in the net searching for how to move your save files from old version of Dolphin emulator to latest version. i used 3.5 - 367 version and upgraded to 4.0 version just recently. I googled it but nothing solution works for me. as i have figure it out, i decided to make a tutorial in English.

• Dolphin Save File Location Android
• Dolphin Gci Folder Location

I made this video for a friend but I'll leave it public unless I get hated on for some reason.If you have any problems, just comment and I'll try and see if. It can extract an individual save as.GCI file or dump the entire contents (RAW or batch dump.GCI files) from a real memory card to the root of SD card. For the purpose of this guide you should extract what you need for Dolphin onto the SD card. Then they should be placed into GC for Dolphin to use while emulating a game.

in my case, savefiles Dolphin 3.5 is located in its folder, and savefiles Dolphin 4 is located in myDocuments. you can see where your Dolphin root location at Option > Configure > Path.
before we start, maybe you are wondering, is this solution overwrite the latest Dolphin savefile?
well, i can say that it is not overwrite all of ISO save file but it is overwrite the same ISO savefile. for example, i have 2 save file in separated Dolphin. Xenoblade on Dolphin 4 and Harvest Moon: Tree of Trangulity on Dolphin 3.5. i want to move Harvest Moon save file to Dolphin 4. and i did it succesfully without overwriting Xenoblade Savefile.
but, if I have 2 Harvest Moon save file in each Dolphin, then if I move the save file, it will overwrite. just like when you copy and paste (overwrite) file in My Computer.
okay lets start (backup your Dolphin folder, just in case if anything accidentally happen, and do it with your own risk)
bassicaly what we are going to do is copying old savefile to the latest dolphin savefile location.

Dolphin Save File Location Android

1. open Dolphin 3.5 and right click on ISO you want the savefiles to move.
2. click Open Wii Save Folder. on the location bar you see that my savefile location is in its folder. next, on the Location Bar, remember or write down the folder name after folder 00010000 where your ISO save file is. for me, my folder is 52383445
3. click on the folder 00010000 in location bar.
4. copy the folder of your iso or simply copy all inside folder 00010000 if you want to move all ISO savefile. for me, i just copy 52383445 folder.
5. we done for Dolphin 3.5. open Dolphin 4.0 then right click on your ISO. click open wii save folder.
6. here you see that my save file location of Dolphin 4.0 is in myDocument, right? then in the location bar, click folder 00010000. paste the folder you just copy from Dolphin 3.5 there.
7. its done. enjoy your game in the latest Dolphin :)

something comes up in mind when i move Harvest Moon save file. in the game, i have 3 slot for saving my progress (i only use 1 slot) and in the save file location i have 3 save file with same name except the number at last of filename and same size (you can see it at my screenshoot above). is it represent the 3 slot in the game? well i dont want to prove anything because i dont need to. so, i'll leave my question unanswered :)
