6. Backing Up Save Data

To prevent loss of progress:

• Locate the memory card file: Right-click on NFSU2 in Dolphin’s game list → Properties → Filesystem → Export Files (for individual saves) or manually copy the .raw file from Dolphin’s GC folder (typically Documents/Dolphin Emulator/GC/).
• Store backups of the .raw file in a separate folder or cloud storage.
