Download ''[http://www.mediafire.com/download/cfr9q8542e9lsos/Virtual+SD+Card+Maker.zip Virtual SD Card Maker]'' (Linux / OS X / Windows) then unzip it, and open one folder for your system.

Download ''[http://www.mediafire.com/download/cfr9q8542e9lsos/Virtual+SD+Card+Maker.zip Virtual SD Card Maker]'', unzip it, and open the appropriate folder for your system (Linux / OS X / Windows). The tool is run with a command like:
 
Open the Command Prompt or Terminal then follow the supposed command line:
<pre>mksdcard 2048M sd.raw</pre>
<pre>mksdcard 2048M sd.raw</pre>
*Drag and drop '''mksdcard''' file into the command window for the full directory pointing to mkscard.
*Type <kbd>2048M</kbd> for 2GB, or if desired, instead it with different size like <kbd>512M</kbd> (512MB), <kbd>1024M</kbd> (1GB), etc.
*To replace the virtual SD Card, just drag and drop an existing '''sd.raw''' file into the command window, or use a different directory to create new.


The virtual SD card is located at (assuming default [[Controlling the Global User Directory|Global User Directory]]):
# Open the Command Prompt or Terminal then (Note: Vista fails to support drag and drop, and will require manual input.):
:'''Linux''': <var>./.dolphin-emu/Wii/sd.raw</var>
# Drag and drop '''mksdcard''' file into the command window for the full directory pointing to mkscard.
:'''OS X''': <var>~/Library/Application\ Support/Dolphin/Wii/sd.raw</var>
# Type <kbd>2048M</kbd> for 2GB, or if desired, an alternate size like <kbd>512M</kbd> (512MB), <kbd>1024M</kbd> (1GB), etc.
:'''Windows''': <var>"%userprofile%\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\sd.raw"</var> (quotation marks are necessary when copying it to Command Prompt)
# Drag and drop an existing '''sd.raw''' file into the command window, or use a different directory/filename to create a new one.
# Assuming a default [[Controlling the Global User Directory|Global User Directory]] the virtual SD card should be placed at:
::'''Linux''': <var>./.dolphin-emu/Wii/sd.raw</var>
::'''OS X''': <var>~/Library/Application\ Support/Dolphin/Wii/sd.raw</var>
::'''Windows''': <var>"%userprofile%\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\sd.raw"</var> (quotation marks are necessary when copying it to Command Prompt)
