:'''Save Management:''' GC Save management working flawlessly, without any issue. Wii saves that aren't copy-protected can be copied to and from virtual SD Card without any trouble at all. I also put a exported save file from a real Wii inside the virtual SD Card and Dolphin successfully imported it back through Wii Menu too. One thing that didn't work was copying channels to the SD Card, the copy always fail ("The data wasn't copied"). Also, deleting any channel through Wii Menu will corrupt NAND. Going back to Wii Menu or any other further booting to it (either from Dolphin or from Home button when playing a game) after deleting a channel will result in a "The system files are corrupted. Please refer to Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting." message. The only fix is completely wiping NAND path too...

'''[22h10]:''' Started testings with v128 (2.0J) and noted something weird. It's a japanese version of Wii Menu, so, why all text are english? Why changing Wii language to japanese in Dolphin settings doesn't have any effect? Anyway, continued my testings, BUUUUUT, trying to enter Wii Settings gave me that:<br>
[[File:Wii_Menu_Wrong_Region.png|200px]]
Because of that, I couldn't confirm many problems above (except Wii Message Board, GC Disc Channel and Save Management that behaved exactly the same way already listed above). Then I remembered that I saw somewhere in WiiBrew that real Wiis in soft brick state show the same error, because of region mismatch (the same occur when you install a EU System Menu in a JP Wii, for example). Did a quick test with the other japanese versions of Wii Menu and all have this issue too. Then I remembered that Dolphin included setting-eur.txt, setting-jap.txt and setting-usa.txt a while ago (before implementing Global User Directory) and after merging this branch these files magically disappeared from Dolphin package. At first, I thought it was a regression from that branch, so I downloaded 3.5-2381 (the first Dolphin build after merging Global User Directory), but testing 3.5-2381, japanese versions of Wii menu doesn't show this issue and works fine (same with 4.0 stable), so, the regression occurred somewhere else. Right now I'm trying to locate the responsible build that broke japanese support for Wii Menu and then open a new issue, so, testing of v130 (2.0E) will need to wait :P
