Creating a Gamecube Memory Card
By default, Dolphin creates a virtual memory card for each Gamecube game that you play. This means that you don't have to worry about creating or formatting a memory card yourself. However, if you want to use a custom memory card, or share your saves with other devices or emulators, you can create your own memory card file using Dolphin.
To create a Gamecube memory card, follow these steps:
Open Dolphin and go to Tools > Memory Card Manager (GC).
Click on the Browse button next to Slot A or Slot B, depending on which slot you want to use for your memory card.
Choose a location and a name for your memory card file. The file extension should be .raw.
Click on the Format button to format your memory card file. You can choose between two sizes: 59 blocks (4 MB) or 251 blocks (16 MB). You can also choose the region of your memory card: USA, EUR, JPN, or KOR.
Click on the OK button to confirm your settings and create your memory card file.
You can also use an existing memory card file from another device or emulator. Just copy the file to your PC and browse to it in Dolphin's Memory Card Manager.
Using a Gamecube Memory Card
To use a Gamecube memory card with Dolphin, you need to configure the emulator settings. Follow these steps:
Open Dolphin and go to Config > GameCube.
Under Device Settings, choose Memory Card for Slot A and/or Slot B, depending on which slot you want to use for your memory card.
Click on the Browse button next to Slot A or Slot B and select your memory card file.
Click on the OK button to save your settings and close the window.

Managing a Gamecube Memory Card
