What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
[Description here]
When I open one of those games, (the issue applys for both of them) i get an error in them saying: Could not access Wii system memory. Refer to the Wii Operations Manual for details.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Reproduction steps here]
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
[Version number here]
Yes, 5.0-12523
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
[Yes/No and version number here]
Yes, 5.0
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)
[First broken version number here (if applicable)]
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
[PC specs here] Windows 10, RTX 2060
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

- Status changed from New to Invalid
It sounds like your NAND is corrupted. Please run check NAND under Tools -> Manage NAND.
Considering that you're issue spans from 5.0 to modern builds and no one can reproduce the issues, it is very likely not a fault of the emulator.
If the NAND is indeed working properly, then the other option is that some kind of anti-virus or anti-malware is misinterpreting how Dolphin interacts with the NAND as malware and is blocking the writes, causing the games to error out.

The Wii NAND Root location should be in Options -> Configuration -> Paths
By Default is in My Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Wii

Something on your computer is preventing Dolphin from accessing the Wii NAND, then.

do u know what it could be? or what i could to make dolphin bypass it

If you have any aggressive anti-malware services running, they may not like Dolphin creating all of the small files that are necessary to construct the Wii NAND. You may also be running into an issue where file system permissions are weird.

I cannot tell you as I do not know what is installed on your computer?
I have one idea though. Can you try making Dolphin portable? Perhaps your Virus scanner doesn't like us using My Documents. In the folder with the Dolphin executable, create a notepad file called "Portable.txt" or "Portable" if you have known file extensions turned off. This will cause Dolphin to use a different folder for settings.
