Currently there is not a good way to do this. Dolphin will generate a default SD Card that is 128 MB, but the Android GUI cannot currently change the directory, or automatically convert a folder into a SD card. The best way to do this is to use the instructions for a Desktop build of Dolphin to generate a SD card, and if you have an Android Device that allows you to access per-app directories from "File Transfer" when connected to a desktop, accessing "\Android\data\org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu\files\Wii" and then overwrite the "sd.raw" that is was generated there.
4. If you have your memory card set to "Memory Card" in Dolphin the "GC" folder will contain a file called "MemoryCardA.USA.raw" This file contains all of your Gamecube saves for the USA region. If your desired game is from a different region then pick the memory card file with the right region code. If you have your memory card set to "GCI Folder" in Dolphin, the "GC" folder will contain a folder called "USA" This folder contains all of your Gamecube saves for the USA region in the individual save "GCI" format.If your desired game is from a different region then open the folder with the right region code.

The Dolphin Emulator is a program which allows you to play your favorite Gamecube and Wii games directly on your computer without any discs and cartridges. Since your computer does not have a Gamecube or Wii memory port for a memory card, you must set up an internal memory card on your computer's hard drive. With the Dolphin Emulator's memory card configured, you can save settings and game files to access them later.
Click on the "Browse" button near the left-hand side of the configuration window. Find the folder you want to serve as the Dolphin Emulator application's memory card. Press the "OK" button once you are done making your selection.
Development was enabled by the 1997 formation of computer graphics company ArtX, of former SGI employees who had created the Nintendo 64, and which was later acquired by ATI to produce the GameCube's GPU. In May 1999, Nintendo announced codename Dolphin, released in 2001 as the GameCube. It is Nintendo's first console to use optical discs instead of ROM cartridges, supplemented by writable memory cards for saved games. Unlike its competitors, it is solely focused on gaming and does not play mass media like DVD or CD. The console supports limited online gaming for a few games via a GameCube broadband or modem adapter and can connect to a Game Boy Advance with a link cable for exclusive in-game features using the handheld as a second screen and controller. The GameCube supports e-Reader cards to unlock special features in a few games. The Game Boy Player add-on runs Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridge games.
In September 2020, leaked documents included Nintendo's plans for a GameCube model that would be both portable with a built-in display and dockable to a TV, similar to its later console the Nintendo Switch.[35][36] Other leaks suggest plans for a GameCube successor, codenamed Tako, with HD graphics and slots for SD and memory cards, apparently resulting from a partnership with ATI (now AMD) and scheduled for release in 2005.[37]
The GameCube features two memory card ports for saving game data. Nintendo released three memory card options: Memory Card 59 in gray (512 KB), Memory Card 251 in black (2 MB), and Memory Card 1019 in white (8 MB). These are often advertised in megabits instead: 4 Mb, 16 Mb, and 64 Mb, respectively.[62] Memory cards with larger capacities were released by third-party manufacturers.[63]
What's the problem?I get a "corrupted memory card" error when trying to load Gamecube games. Dolphin does not give the "Writing to memory card A" message and even after formatting, the memory card is not readable.
This is similar to issue 3761 , but the problem only affects Gamecube, not Wii. I tried with build 6632 and 6480 to be sure and it's still there. And it does say writing to memory card, but not wrote to memory card.
I just had this same problem, and it wasn't a permission thing. I quit the game, deleted the /Library/Application\ Support/Dolphin/GC/SRAM.raw file and started the game again and was able to format memory card slot A. The result was that a new file MemoryCardA.USA.raw was created in the GC dir. Hope this helps other folks with the problem.
When GameCube players save an in-progress game, their progress is typically saved in a GCI or .SAV file. The American versions of GameCube games save players' progress in GCI files, while their European equivalents save games in SAV files. These files are stored on players' GameCube memory cards.

When Nintendo launched the GameCube, they might have miscalculated a bit on how much memory games would need for their saves. The original 59-block memory cards were only 4Mbit and could only store a handful of saves. They were also rather slow, which is problematic with how big saves would get with later games on the system. To no one's surprise, Nintendo released bigger, faster offerings with the 251 (16Mbit) and 1019 (64Mbit) block memory cards. These cards gave players much more breathing room and sped up savetimes in games that would write large save files. The only real downside to using them should have been the hard limit of 127 savefiles; as the file system could not handle anything beyond that even if you had empty blocks! Unfortunately, reality doesn't always line up with expectations.
Being that these memory card sizes are so insignificant for modern storage devices, Dolphin's developers thought it would be best for users if the emulator defaulted to using the biggest possible memory card: a 2043-block monster that was only released by third parties such as datel. Unfortunately, due to bugs in numerous games, they won't recognize anything beyond a 251-block memory card as a valid saving device, even on console! To combat this, Dolphin had a hidden setting called Memcard251, that could be put into the INI files to force a 251-block memory card.
This was a rather nifty solution that fixed saving issues in these games without inconveniencing users. It affected the GCI Folder feature, too! Instead of having the saves on a separate memory card, they're all stored in one place. The difference is that when the GCI folder is constructed into the memory card at boot, Dolphin simply constructs a smaller one. And it wasn't stupid about how it used the space it had; GCI folders knows to pull in the savefile of Pikmin when launching Melee, and the savefile from Super Mario Sunshine when launching Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
If you're familiar with Japanese, you already know what it's telling us. This game only works with 59-block memory cards. Not due to any kind of bug, but due to a rather odd design decision. Our best guess is that because the game came with a 59-block memory card, Nintendo really only wanted you using the game with that card. Unfortunately, this left us in a rather tricky situation. We couldn't just globally change Memcard251 to Memcard59; those memory cards were so small that some of the bugged games would completely fill them up alone. We needed to do some serious changes for this one game.
Rather than hacking something up or putting an exception in the code, Techjar bit the bullet and rewrote the Memcard251 option to support arbitrary sizes that could be set on a per-game basis. So now for this one game, Dolphin has made its memory card size code support arbitrary sizes. Thanks, Nintendo.
Note: 5 blocks and one file of each memory card are dedicated to system data, so a 59-block memory card really has 64 total blocks with five you can never access. In addition, more games have been marked to use smaller memory cards to prevent saving issues. This includes SSX Tricky and SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab both being forced to use 251-block memory cards.
This one is fairly important to those who want to use GameCube Microphone emulation alongside Native GameCube Controller Support. It's also important to anyone who likes logical things that make sense. Dolphin doesn't handle exceptions very well; and the GameCube Microphone has one pretty big exception to it. It's a memory card device... with a button on it. Because it has a button on it, so, Dolphin has to let you configure how to hit that button. Clearly the logical place to put the configuration is... the GameCube Controller Configuration Page!!!
Fans of the early-2000s era GameCube version of the original Animal Crossing likely remember the game including a handful of emulated NES titles that could be played by obtaining in-game items for your house. What players back then didn't know is that the NES emulator in Animal Crossing can also be used to play any generic NES ROM stored on a GameCube memory card. 2ff7e9595c
