About the pictures
Every picture here was recorded from Indigo running in the Dolphin emulator, with the games, poster pack and cheat files on an emulated disc. The box art belongs to its publishers. The recordings run without an SD card, so Setup › Storage says there is no device to save settings to, and game details have no Autoload shortcut. With an SD card in your console, both look as the text describes. The Memory Cards pictures of the SD card's stack, the Save Folder and the folder chooser use a stand-in for the SD card that exists only for recording, named GC Loader on screen, since Dolphin can't give a GameCube one.
