Can't install NAND to dolphin using ShowMiiNANDS

You can extract a nand.bin using showmiiwads tools. Or you can construct a virgin Emunand using modmii for windows. Or u can dump an emunand using usbloader gx.

I'm not sure if there are any specific caveats to using an emunand with dolphin, I'm assuming it will accept any standard emunand, but if this is not the case please disregard my answers

 

With BootMii. https://bootmii.org/download/

 

to make a virgin nand open up modmii, pick sneek, then pick the option to build an emulated nand and follow the prompts. ModMii is a tool intended for the Wii, not dolphin, so while it should work I cannot say for certain. For example, modmii will build a fresh emulated nand, and when it's booted by a Wii for the first time, it will expand some of those files, then load the system menu. Subsequent boots are much quicker because the files have already been expanded. I'm not sure if dolphin would expand the files in a similar fashion, presumably it would, but I'm not certain. And if it doesn't, ModMii's virgin nands would need to be launched on a Wii and it's files expanded before being able to work on dolphin.

 

What u said doesn't make sense, maybe you're just describing it poorly.

In any case, I'm not familar with dolphin... so I can only help you in so much as to construct an emunand

Edit: do you own a Wii?

 

Doesn't Dolphin come with a nand built in? Have you set the paths in Dolphin?

I still don't get why ppl don't ask the developers in Dolphin's official forum instead...
