Description

Game Name?
Wii System Menu (I used version 4.3E)

Game ID?
00000001-00000002

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
When copying a channel from the SD card to the System Menu, the same message appears as if the copy succeeds, but the channel only shows up as a 0 blocks large "???" channel in the list of NAND channels. Exiting the channel management menu gets rid of the 0 blocks large "???" channel.

What did you expect to happen instead?
The channel becomes available in the main menu, where it can be started.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. On a real Wii, use BootMii to dump NAND and keys.bin. (You can skip this if you already have done it once.)
  2. On the same real Wii, use the System Menu's settings to copy a channel from the console to an SD card. (You can skip this if you already have a channel on your SD card.)
  3. Install the console's NAND in Dolphin. (I don't know if this actually is necessary. Maybe you will get the same result if you just install the System Menu from Nintendo's update server.)
  4. Place keys.bin in the Wii directory. This is the same directory as sd.raw resides in. (This is very important. If you don't do this, the System Menu will unsurprisingly say that the channel is from a different console.)
  5. Go to the System Menu's settings in Dolphin and try to copy the channel to NAND.

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-5110

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
I haven't tested it, but it sounds very unlikely that it would work on an earlier version.

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
Avoid the System Menu's option for launching channels "directly" from an SD card. It made my SYSCONF file corrupt when I tried using it.

not sure but I think that moving/copying apps to SD works (do you have SDCard checked in accessories setting?)
Save Data copy/move works fine
Seems the only way to install channels is via WAD?

It says "The data may not have been copied." when I try to copy a channel to the SD card. And yes, the SD card option is checked. The channels on the SD card are displayed correctly with their banners and all.

This issue still exists. Channels can not be copied to the SD card. Please fix this because I have hit the limit for channels on the wii menu, and I like to use it to launch my wads.

This issue still exists. Channels can not be copied to the SD card. Please fix this because I have hit the limit for channels on the wii menu, and I like to use it to launch my wads. This is important to fix because it's an accuracy error with the emulator.

  • Status changed from New to Accepted
  • Priority changed from Low to Normal

Exporting titles to SD fails because some ioctlvs in ES are completely unimplemented (0x26 and 0x2a in particular), and Dolphin does not even bother returning an error (and just returns success for unknown requests). Should not be too hard to add.

Not sure about copying back to NAND, but it likely has to do with ES again.
