(Tested again with some WiiWare and VC games from my own NAND dump, confirmed channel management bug)

:'''Wii Message Board:''' Wii Message board is working fine, however you can't send messages to any contact you register (the button will always be grayed out) and the Play Time only register softwares you used correctly if you boot them from Wii Menu and after playing the selected title you come back to Wii Menu by pressing home. Further testing would be trying to send a message to the Dolphin's Friend Code (I can't do that because my Wii is dead)...

:'''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. For this testing I'm using Mii Channel and Internet Channel. Mii Channel is a system channel so it doesn't even show up in data management. Opera showed up here and let me copy to SD card, but after some seconds the copy always fail ("The channel wasn't copied"). Internet Channel always acted weird even in my real Wii (while they still worked), so I'll test this particular case again with other channel (maybe a VC or WiiWare game). The other strange issue is that if I delete Opera from save data management, going back to Wii Menu or any other further booting to it (either from Dolphin or from Home button when playing a game) will result in a "The system files are corrupted. Please refer to Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting.". The only fix was completely wiping NAND path too...
