Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Already have tested a lot of games with Dolphin (creating save files,
    etc.)
  2. Then, at some point, all games which are run for the first time will
    give out a message that there aren't enough free blocks available to create
    a save file.
  3. This happens with all revisions.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Well, I wouldn't expect it to, since it's just like on the Wii, but it
would be a great advantage if there was no limit to the Dolphin virtual
HDD.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm sure, this doesn't matter for this issue, but anyway: happens on all
revisions, OS is Win7 64bit.

Please provide any additional information below.

Well, this actually doesn't seem to be a bug or anything but it's a problem
nontheless, especially since on the real Wii you can easily navigate
through the file management, delete stuff or push it onto a SD card. The
only thing that can be done on Dolphin at the moment is go into the save
folders of games and delete or move the files. That's quite a pain, though.
I guess I'm having this problem already, since I dumped and tested a lot of
WiiWare games on Dolphin. Anyway, I guess sooner or later, more people will
have this issue.
Also, why should Dolphin be as limited in this issue as the real Wii, when
a PC HDD has more than enough space?
So, if anything can be done about this (maybe make Dolphin think the HDD is
much bigger or whatever), that would be great.

Thanks!
