Can Dolphin read actual SD cards?

[Zazabar]

I have an SD card reader and some Brawl screenshots from my Wii. The screenshots are in 480p and look like crap on my computer. I'm wanting to know if the Dolphin can access my actual SD card so I may be able to access the screenshots via the Dolphin or at least revisit the replays I saved and go back to retake the picture to get that 1080p resolution goodness. Any help would be appreciated.

Use ImDisk (I prefer because it can also make ramdisks) or WinCDemu to mount the sd.raw as a real drive. Copy the "private" folder from real SD to sd.raw. Unmount the virtual mount. Open in Dolphin (check "insert SD card in Config/Wii")

I seem to be having some difficulties mouting the sd.raw part. I have no idea what this sd.raw file is and where/how to mount it with both programs. I'm familiar with other virtual mounting programs like Daemon tools, but I have no idea with these two programs. (I have WinCDemu installed)

You can view the screenshots in Dolphin, but they're not going to look any better. On the other hand, replays can be rendered in any resolution you want to, and then you can take a screenshot using Dolphin's or your computer's screenshot functionality. I think 4.0.2 has a desyncing problem with replays, so you should update to the latest dev version if you want to do this.

Go to My Documents, then Dolphin Emulator, then Wii. There should be an sd.raw file here if you've enabled the "Insert SD card" option in Dolphin.

Thanks for the help, fellas. I'm at least happy I got all my videos and screenshots on my virtual SD card. Now the work of recapturing those screenshots begin!

First of all, necro it's better to start your own thread for this.
but to answer your question: this seems to be a problem with your windows/computer not really something we can help you with.
