How do SD cards work with Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

Since I seemed to have lost my Nintendo Wii 2 GB SD card a long time ago, I am wondering how I can get Super Smash Bros. Brawl to read my "private" folder (replays, pictures and custom stages) without using an SD card. Can I just have the folder somewhere on my hard drive and have Dolphin read it from that specified directory? Or will I have to insert an SD card in order for Brawl to pick up any of my custom stages, pictures and replays? I have tried inserting my 4GB SDHC card, but Brawl didn't seem to have recognized it.

Dolphin uses a virtual SD card, find the SD.raw in My Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Wii and open it with an image mounting software. There you can copy your SD card's stuff onto that, and it'll find it after you save.

I see. Could you recommend me an image mounting software to use to do this? And how might I use it in order to put my 'private' folder onto the SD.raw. Also, I tried to open the SD.raw file, but it opens in Winamp; it is seen as an audio file or such, apparently.

WinImage let you edit SD.raw and add content, however it's shareware...

I see, thank you.

Now, I have absolutely /no/ idea how to go about using this, how to put my 'private' folder in this SD.raw using this program so that Brawl will load all my stuff. I tried it by injecting the 'private' folder, and then I saved it. But Brawl didn't recognize any SD card inserted... Also, the SD.raw file is a "Headerless RAW Waveform" - is that normal?

Did you enable SD Card in Dolphin => Config => Wii? Also, from SD Card SSBB will read only saved replays/screenshots and custom stages. If you want to transfer your save file then you'll need to do it on your Wii using a homebrew app (Savegame Manager GX can do it) because Brawl is a copy-protected save, so in Wii Menu it won't let you copy it to SD...

raw files are just raw files -- they can have any kind of content, pictures, sounds, etc. You're seeing this description probably because you have Winamp installed, that register raw files with that description...

That did it. Thanks! But now, when I go to the Vault, it at least recognizes and SD card present, however, it is empty. I injected all my folders/directories/files properly into the .raw using WinImage. What's the deal here now?

Yeah, I'm aware of all that. I most likely won't be resorting to that, though. I just at least want to have my replays, stages and photos.

I gotcha. This is pretty much what I had also figured. I just wasn't too sure. I'm totally new to the .raw files ever since I made this topic, so yeah.
