Homebrew SaveGame Manager GX

[dj_skual]

Does this app auto generate any kind of settings.cfg file? Because it never seems to remember any of my specified settings.

Custom paths, GUI settings, doesn't matter what I change, it always resets to default whenever I load the app.

of course, the app create a config file on sd or usb... wich version do you use? r127, or beta 61 ?

I've been using r127. I just downloaded beta 61 but I haven't tried it yet.

I've been using r127. I just downloaded beta 61 but I haven't tried it yet.

ok, beta 61 should be more stable, but don't use the gc and raw fonction (still in development), and the part to manage all saves in one shot aren't implemented atm... report if you find some bugs...

Does this mean there's a new beta version?

@dj_skual:
First of all: Thanks for your great tool!

I've got a big feature request: Cloud support

For all the people who have got a Wii and a vWii (Wii U) with an emunand each, it would be fantastic if Savegame Manager GX would support cloud services, at least one of the following:
Google Drive
Microsoft OneDrive
Dropbox
Box
MEGA.co.nz

The problem is that emunand folders of Wii and vWii are incompatibel so just taking the SD or USB drive over from one to the other console won't work.
However: Savegame Manager GX can handle all savegames and Miis brilliantly. But instead of always moving hardware it would be great to implement a feature where I can instantly sync all savegames and Miis with a cloud.

I could

• start playing world 1 of Mario on Wii
• sync to cloud on Wii (to get the savegame up)
• sync to cloud on vWii (to get the savegame down to console)
• play world 2 and 3 on vWii
• sync to cloud again
• continue with world 4 on Wii and so on ...

I think a cloud feature would be great for everyone! Not only owners of two consoles.
Maybe you could even cooperate with the devs of USB Loader GX to make savegames one click syncing after playing from there. But that's not a must.

no, but perhaps next week... now all raw and gc fonctions are working good, still to done some little fix in rawdevice management, then i will release betaR62

it's a very good idea... will perhaps look later when all other features will be finished

Thanks for your continued support
there's not a lot of devs left on Wii. I even have less time to work on usbloadergx but still try to work on it (randomly).

Can you inject a single gci file into .raw?

 

[stealth_gerbil]

The Wii U is pretty popular, and arent all the emulators for the Wii U just the Wii emulators?

I would think there would be continued support just for that

I love the wii personally, its just so convenient for so many games, and pretty much all 2D systems are emulated good on it (especially with the new development of mGBA)

Wiis are super cheap to buy (used), and super easy to mod, and I highly recommend them

This thread is about a Wii save game manager, not emulators?

 

[stealth_gerbil]

oh, that post was in response to cyans post, about the wii in general - I probably should have quoted it

Guess I missed the big update, such a convenient timing because I've gotten a few busy weeks with work so it might take me a while to get to testing it.

Eh, not quite, there are still many 2D emulators that weren't properly ported over to the Wii (or hasn't been ported altogether) such as 32X, MAME, Neo Geo, Turbu-Dou (PC-Engine Disc System), VMU, PC-98, Amiga, Comador-64, Sega Model 1&2, and Sega Pico, just to name a few, all of which were emulated quite good on the original Xbox!

Also am I the only one who's surprised of the lack of proper emulators for NDS, Sega Saturn, N64, PSP, and Android since all of them have good open source emulators out there?

I did a little testing earlier today, I'll report the bugs that I have found though I'm sure most of them are known, hope this helps.

-Software crashed on me when trying to load a big raw file (16MB) but it worked fine with a small one (2MB)
-Trying to copy data from raw data to another seems to work but there is no "cancel" button
-Global copy is still under development
-Software seems not to work with SD cards bigger than 32GB (tested with 64GB and it doesn't recognize the SD card) I will say that this same issue happens with Wii Xplorer and SB Loader GX for me but my other apps and emulators seem to work fine

Other than that it seems to work fine, I didn't get the chance to test deleting a save data from a channel installed on EmuNAND though last time I checked it deleted the entire channel, I reported that I think but I need to test again to confirm, I'll report once I get around testing it.

thx for your tests... first point is already know, and i will fix this later...

-Trying to copy data from raw data to another seems to work but there is no "cancel" button

it's like a want

-Global copy is still under development

i've not implemented this atm...

i will look about that...

let me know when you will have tested.

It's not a "want" as much as a "necessity" I had to exit the entire app just to cancel the menu for copying from one raw to another, it's cool if you don't want to implement it but I feel like it should be there, also clicking the "X" button did nothing.

Anyway, this might be related https://gbatemp.net/threads/usb-loader-gx.149922/page-1099#post-6203527

humm... ok, now i understand what you mean... you are right, i will have a look to add a cancel button

 

[dj_skual]

are you sure there are no confirm screen before copying datas??? you select the destination, then you confirm or cancel....
