Where are Dolphin emulator saves located on a mac?
I am trying to transfer some save files across from Dolphin emulator that I have downloaded manually from their website to the version of Dolphin installed with OpenEMU for mac as the performance is much better on that version of Dolphin than the one I first installed.
I cannot locate the saves on my Mac and I am wondering where they are so I can transfer them across.
I have tried searching the internet and have found plenty for PC but not for mac.

On macOS applications normally save data in ~/Library/Application Support/xxx where ~ is your home directory and xxx is the application name.
Note that macOS Finder normally hides the Library folder. You can get Finder to show hidden folders with ??. (Command+Shift+.). You can also see Library in the Finder Go menu by pressing ? when the Go menu is displayed.
Also note that there is also a Library folder in the root directory (/Library) which is not the folder required here.

Where does Dolphin Emulator save to?
Like most other emulators, Dolphin allows you to save your game's progress by using a "save-state" file, saved as a . gci file. This saves exactly where you are in the game. When you start the game again the next time, you can load that save state and pick up where you left off.Where do Dolphin game files go?
