=== SDHC Cards ===
=== SDHC Cards ===
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is known to not play nice with SDHC cards (4-32GiB in size) on a real [[Wii]]. It is best to keep the virtual SD card below 2GiB in size. See [[Virtual SD Card Guide]] and {{issue|8823}}.
Support for Virtual SDHC cards (4-32GiB in size) was added in 5.0-5044, solving {{issue|8823}}. See [http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=74757.0 here] for help with creating a virtual SDHC card. The SDHC Extension 1.1[Bero] code [http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=65342.0] needs to be included in your GCT file found within sd.raw's \codes folder.
 
It is recommended to use build {{revision|5.0-5821}} or later to avoid {{issue|10636}}.
 
Both {{issue|10461}} and {{issue|10514}} are known to affect SD emulation and are more prominent when using a virtual SDHC card.

=== Classic Mode Rectangle ===
After winning a stage in classic mode, the game is supposed to zoom in on the character, and then partition them off into a rectangle with the game stats around them. See {{issue|2828}}. Enabling Real XFB fixes the issue.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is unusually moddable for a console game. The gecko code "File Patch Code" created by Phantom Wings can read fan-made patches from an SD card on top of Brawl's on-disc data. These patches range from simple character skins and balance adjustments to more complex modifications such as additional characters and extra stages more complex than the Brawl's Stage Builder allows.

Dolphin can virtualize a SD card, which is necessary for Brawl mods, [[Virtual SD Card Guide]] provides a tutorial for this.

A regression introduced in {{revision|5.0-2712}} may cause gecko code mods to not load properly. This was fixed by {{revision|5.0-3301}}. See {{issue|10187}}.
