NAND and SD-Card limitation problems

Description
Game Name?
Guitar Hero and Rock Band Series
Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)
SXEE52, SXAE52, SXIP52, SZAE69, SZBE69
MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)
I've got them in 4gb-splitted WBFS-format from my old ide-hdd, I created and used on my original Wii. Don't know if that would break the md5sum... The error however did mit exist, when I used the same files on my Wii.
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
I managed to migrate my wiis emunand to Dolphin. It is a lot bigger than the wiis original nand. Now I can't create new savegames, get into the system menu and moving the DLC to an emulated SD shows an error, too.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Migrate an oversized nand to dolphin.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
5.0-14051
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Can't check as it didn't support my nand or something.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
i3-6xxx
AMD rx570
Win10
16GB RAM
1TB NVMe
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
I know aming for accurately emulating the Wii, dolphin does behave as intended but hear me out:
I've seen and tried all those graphical Hacks and some are described like offering more performance, while lowering accuracy oder producing glitches. An optional "unlimited nand" checkbox could help greatly with the handling of my guitar Hero collection. Emunand in the Wii did this from the start if I'm not mistaken, so it can't be that much of a hack. At least I've never seen any problems that were due to my nands size... The only feasable workaround seems to be juggling around SD card images and that's too complicated for the average user in my House...

- Is duplicate of Emulator Issues #11544: Emulated games report that the NAND is full added

Well ok, I'll admit my request is indeed the same, but my argument kind of differs because the same nand DID work in my Wii... Emunand working with the already emulated nand in dolphin would be some frankenstein worthy abomination but I'd adopt it in a Heartbeat. Otherwise I'll have to look for hdmi-wii and sata-usb adapters and at an all white Wii in my black media Rack :(

The problem is that we have these limitations for stability's sake. Even with an infinitely big NAND, the software side has limitations that will cause crashes if we don't respect the limitations. A lot of the crashes/bugs resulting from having a fake sized NAND are pretty hard to track down, as well.

Well ok, but there are so many options, for example the dual-core-support, boundingbox and depthcalculations, that give performanceboosts but can produce crashes or bugs. I don't really see the difference to my humble request, when the default is the wii-limited-nand, so forgive my arguing. I know I can't demand anything and I already am forever greatful for this emulator. There are so many options that say "if unsure/glitches occur, then enable or disable this or that". Why can't the same be done for the nand-size?
I'm really sad. My wife took one look and veto-ed the wii in the media rack because of the looks and the complexity of changing the tv and amp sources. She really digged Guitar Hero Metallica, so it can't be because of the gaming in general. As Metallica has no DLC, we can play this with dolphin and no issues, but I'm really missing some of those DLC songs in the other games and all those windowsnative Guitar Hero clones somehow don't do the trick for me. Maybe because of the slightly different look and feel, the missing animations or simply because it's already some kind of nostalgica?
Man, now I feel old...
So third time's a charm, thanks for reading my ramblings and writing your answers, I won't argue any more from now on.
