A repository appeared on GitHub which apparently converts saves from the Wii U Save file format into the Switch's File format so that you can transfer your save from the Wii U version to the Switch's and viceversa.
Can someone PLEASE post a step by step guide? This thread seems to assume you already have modding experience with BotW.
I got the save from the WiiU onto a USB, but when I attempt to use the save converter, Windows tells me it doesn't recognize the file system and I can't even look at the contents. I assumed perhaps the problem was I needed to use a save dumper(?) to convert the data into something Windows can recognize, but that doesn't seem to be how a save dumper works? I don't know enough to know if I'm actually running into an error, or if I'm just missing steps.
yes they need to be the same game version, I know that much
Can confirm this works ^^ thanks a lot!
My versions of the game were different between the Switch and WiiU and it still worked great. WiiU v1.2 USA -> Switch v1.3.1 JPN
On github theres a fork of source code that OP mentioned and someone built a UI which really helped out.
Cant post links, but if you check out JordanZeotni and their repo BotW-Save-Manager, I'm sure youll find it
Hi guys. What am I supposed to download for Windows UI? I went to the github on first page, not sure what I need...
Help appreciated
Update: I got what I needed. I converted saves, it says successful and shows Switch icon. But, when I open save directory again, it shows Wii U Icon? Help appreciated
Final Update: I figured it out. For injecting the converted save, can I just use Checkpoint? Help appreciated
