(SOLVED) dolphin help

[FOREVER365]

Ok i know 100% how to ue mods on wii but how the flip do i use it on dolphin, for some reason ive done everything and nothing is working, heres what i did

i used wiiscrubber and the mod to change the sd card files into raw.dat and for some reason when i try to load in game stuff nothing is working, ive enabled cheats and installed the wads on dolphin emu and replaced the sd card file in dolphin files to make ssbb notice the changes and installed gecko(i dont exacttly what to do up there but im pretty sure you enable load with codes but nothing and i mean nothing is working. but i download project m and that works but anything i put doesnt work

private/rsbe/pf/fighter (i might be missing one but its because im not looking at my sd atm but trust me its right because i use this on my wii with no errors)

now i just completely deleted dolphin in rage and reinstalled it and im starting from scratch, so my question is how do i get thins thing to work?

like what am i doing wrong?

Wait, are you trying to use a real SD card? I could never get it to work via virtual SD card myself, but Dolphin does require either that or editing the ISO by replacing the individual files in the ISO itself with mods.(e.g. If you download a texture over Link, you could replace the FitLink00.pcs in the ISO with the .pcs file of the mod)

That's what I do to play mods on Dolphin, anyways.

WinImage should be used for editing SD.raw. Wiiscrubber only works with game disc dumps.

Ill check that out i think this may be the guide i was referring to imma test this and hopefully it works *crosses fingers* because for some reason dolphin is so much harder than wii

No, I'm saying that you CAN'T use the SD card without turning it into raw.dat. However, you CAN replace any pre-existing ISO files with mods with WiiScrubber.

Also depends on the size of the SD.RAW. there is a hard code limit of 2 gigs on dolphin you can have an 8 gig card with 1.5 gigs on it and have it work. but after 2 gigs of data is read it won't read anything else.  i personally test myth with dolphin and ran into it a couple times.

Also Wii scrubber.

SCRUB IS NOT A SAVE BUTTON

That is another problem people have with iso moding in particular.

Also for editing the SD.raw try using IMDISK. you can right click the sd.raw "mount as virtual disk" then check removable media. it will open it like a real SD card and its a lot easier to edit that way without dealing with winimage.  just make sure to right click "eject" when you are done with the editing. dolphin can't read the SD if its in use.
