Hey guys. So I've been playing Wind Waker on my soft-modded Wii recently with my old memory card. The memory card suddenly became corrupt, and now I've lost some 10 hours of play-time on the game. I'd gotten all the way through the Forbidden Forrest before this happened.

So I'm done with relying on a physical memory card. I'm just going to use the virtual memory card for now on. I know how to do that (enable NMM in settings on my CFG USB Loader, hit save). But if possible, I'd really like to more or less pick up where I left off. Based on what I've read online, this should be possible. I've found a ton of .GCI save files for the game on GitHub and followed the instructions for converting .GCI to .RAW found on this message board. Basically it involves loading a blank RAW file in Dolphin's Memory Card Manager, importing the .GCI file and then renaming the RAW file to GLZE.raw (which is Windwaker's 4 letter game ID). I've found the perfect .GCI file (After Forbidden Woods.gci) so that I can pick up where I left off, but it's not working out for me. :/ When I follow the aforementioned instructions in Dolphin, I get a bunch of nonsense in the Title and Comments section of the save file--which you can see in the screenshot I've included in my post. I move the GLZE.raw file over to the saves folder on my external USB and enable NMM--but the game does not recognize any save file when I start my game. Surely there' a way to get this to work. Am I missing something? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
