How to increase wii nand mem? - trihy - 11-17-2021
Hi guys, i know older builds of dolphin didnt have nand restriction.
Newer ones are according to wii nand (512MB). That creates as many problems with free space as the wii do.
I know emulation should be according to real HW, but there is any real problem using bigger nand space?
And also, how can I do that on newer dolphin builds? I can increase the space keeping my real nand?
Thanks.

Older builds without the restriction had a lot of inaccuracies with the HLE IOS implementation that caused various issues in several Wii titles. The NAND is now enforced to 512 MB like on a real Wii to prevent those problems and currently there's no way to bypass that restriction.
If you somehow manage to overfill you NAND on current Dolphin versions, most Wii games will refuse to go past their title screen until you go to the Wii Menu and delete things to free space. Wii Menu itself will also deny you from accessing anything other than the data management screen if the NAND is full...

Hi. Thanks. Didnt knew it causes many problems.
Im using real wii nand and was almost full of games from the wii shop channel. I did a sd card and moved some files, but still not much free space.
I want to mess with GH 5 DLC, but somehow they are not showing in game. Just used the install wad option. Since this cant be buyed anymore, not sure if there are other options.

Try installing the DLC in the NAND, then use the game itself to move the content to the SD Card. If you move the DLC through the Wii Menu, the game very likely won't recognize it anymore...

Hi. Tried to install to nand as wad from dolphin ui. But dlc doesnt show on GH5 ingame transfer menu, where you can move from nand to sd. Also is not available in the game at all.
But its showing on wii menu, saves, as GH dlc.
