What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
Let's take an example: you're a title screen, you savestate A, you do the title screen, level 1 and it saves, you savestate B, if you get back to savestate A (title screen), the game keeps the save from level 1 so the TAS will desync.
What did you expect to happen instead?
It should keep the save from savestate A

[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]
1.Take a game, make a dtm file
2.Go to title screen
3.savestate 1
4.Finish a elvel or make the game saving
5.Get back to savestate
6. the save is corrupted/redirects to level where you saved

Try using the GCI-Folder option introduced recently. It's supposed to fix this.

Wait, I'm an idiot, you said Wii. Let me see if I can ping someone useful...

I'm thinking the same thing needs to happen as for GC games, where the save file needs to be saved into the savestate. I don't know if anyone else will agree, but, I CC'd the guy who did it for the GC games.

So apparently GameCube games already did this before that, but the Folder Memory card fixes a quirk. Wii games do not do this, and probably should.

Yes please, because it's horrible you TAS a level for like hours, then the game tells you like "DESYNC" because you rerecorded where the game saves <.<

storing save contents is new to gci folder, it just so happens that most gc games don't check the existing save after the initial load, making it not matter for using savestates to timetravel.
according to this issue, it seems that wii games do read the save, and we could just
keep the accessed files in the savestate similar to how the gci folder works
unfortunately, I don't have the time to work on this currently

btw lpfaint, it is NOT new to gci folder. See https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/Core/HW/GCMemcardRaw.cpp#L157
Furthermore, even with it, it is still not saved in most cases: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/Core/HW/EXI_DeviceMemoryCard.cpp#L440

I'm wondering if I'm interpreting this correctly...
When I use a GC memory card for a TAS the saes are not saved/loaded with a save-state... my reproduction (Using Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader):
- Start game with new memory card (file)
- Start a new player/game/file
- Create Save state 1
- Complete level 1 & let GC save
- Load save state 1
- Navigate to level selection
