<ul></ul><p>Can you confirm that this isn't the game mods being stupid? It shouldn't be writing to SD if it's not doing anything.</p>

<ul></ul><p>So, this is happening because your mods are simply writing to SD. Change them so that they don't do that?</p>

<ul></ul><p>Disregard this issue report. We've (including E2xD) found the real culprit.</p>
<p>It's WinImage's fault.</p>

I'm not sure if this is the mod's, Dolphin's, or WinImage's issue though.</p>
<p>With Brawl, the File Patch Code (FPC, tested on Dolphin 5.0-9475 with FPC versions 3.5.1 and 3.5.1b) seems to write to the SD card when certain files are involved. I isolated one of those files (StrapEn.pac) and put it in the attached SD.raw files. StrapEn.pac contains a custom Wiimote strap screen. The only code included in the /codes folder is FPC 3.5.1b. If I remember correctly, Mario Kart Wii uses a very similar code for mods.</p>
<p>Steps to reproduce:</p>
<ol>
<li>Extract sd.raw. Place one copy in the appropriate location for Dolphin and another copy elsewhere for comparison.</li>
<li>Enable the SD card in Dolphin if not enabled.</li>
<li>Set Brawl as your default ISO.</li>
<li>Launch Gecko OS or Minima Launcher and proceed to play Brawl until you see the custom strap screen.</li>
<li>Exit emulation.</li>
<li>Compare the copy of sd.raw to the one in the appropriate location and observe a difference between the two files. The timestamps are also different.</li>
</ol>
<p>Oddly, when I try to extract and compare both the original and "modified" StrapEn.pac files, they are identical. I don't know if this is WinImage being weird. Regardless, something isn't right here. Let me know if you want me to make this a separate issue.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I tested this on a real Wii. The files from the attached SD.raw are identical after loading the strap screen with FPC enabled. Also, the WinImage StrapEn.pac extraction occurred after comparing the SD.raws in HxD. I suspect the difference in SD.raw is a Dolphin bug.</p>
