Hi, I'm new to this so I apologize greatly if I'm posting an already-asked question, or posting it in the wrong place entirely. I've looked all over, and can't find a clear answer, so here's my situation: I've been playing the GC version of Zelda TP on my PC via Dolphin. I recently got my hands on a physical Wii console, and set it up with Cios and Homebrew, and USB Loader GX. Now here's what I'd like to do: I've made it halfway through the game, and don't want to start over, so how on earth can I move my virtual gamesave from Dolphin to my physical Wii, and use it to pick up the game where I left off? I don't know exactly WHERE Dolphin stores my GC gamesaves, and I don't even know what format or file I should be looking for, much less how to transfer this to my Wii.
Again, I'm so sorry if this post doesn't belong here, so pardon my ignorance.. And Thanks in advance.

\\\\EDIT: I think I did indeed post this in the wrong place, so I'm going to just re-ask it in the "Ask!" tab.

Don't repost, just report the topic you believe you have created in the wrong section

anyway , Dolphin by default saves loose saves inside your documents folder (on windows)

You can grab a full memory card image (GCMM's raw backup feature, or the kind used by Nintendont), open them in Dolphin's memory card manager, and remove/add the individual saves to it

Thanks for the help; I've got yet another issue though! I can't for the life of me figure out where Nintendont's Virtual Memcard directory is!! I enabled "Emulated Memcard" in Nintendont settings and it's so frustrating! Thanks again..

sd:/saves/*.raw
Yeeeeah, Haha I spent nearly two hours yesterday trying to find it when I realized my issue: Nintendont is running from the SD Card, but my ISO is running from USB Drive... The Memcard file was saved to the USB, so the whole time I wasn't even checking the right drive! Thanks again for the help :P
