How do I create a GameCube memory card?

[Itay080]

And should it be formatted as Shift JIS or Windows-1252 (Western)?

[ExtremeDude2]

Are you trying to create your own from scratch?

Use Shift JIS if you're going to use it with Japanese games, and Windows-1252 if you're going to use it with non-Japanese games.

Don't I need one if I want to save games? If not, how does it work?

Dolphin creates one for you. But I'd suggest using GCI folders instead, they're better in pretty much every way.

Thanks. Dolphin is in my external hard drive so I want it to save the cards in my HDD and not in my local machine documents folder. How can I do that?

Create a file named portable.txt in the same folder as Dolphin.exe.

Should I write anything in this file?

Nope. Just leave it blank
