Hacking {TUT} Transferring your saves between backup launcher theta and Xi

[AetherMaster]

I downloaded the GCMM and put it on my SD card, but when I loaded it in the Homebrew Channel, it didn't show any of my save files. What am I doing wrong?

Start GCMM with the memcard in slot A, then switch it to slot B. that worked for me.

That still didn't work, I just get a blue screen. If it matters, I'm using a 4mb Hip Gear memory card..

 

[j.m.g.a]

It doesn´t work for me, neither of my two official memory card works.

The first post says that official Gamecube memory cards don't work.

Wii Apps you will need

GCMM - http://wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM
EDITnly 3rd party Memory Cards

Did you read that part?

Try NuGaSa, it may not get an error however it says there are problems with official cards.

FAILS

 

[j.m.g.a]

I´ve read it, but Landon66 said it worked with his official MCs

 

[Golfman560]

Some get it, some don't. That's why I suggested a different application. It might work.

 

[j.m.g.a]

In NuGaSa, when i press 1 it happens nothing...
However it works when I press 2.
Any ideas?

 

[Golfman560]

So you can't take saves off but you can put them on. Ummm. I'm clueless.

 

[j.m.g.a]

No, i can press 2 and choose a savegame, but when I press A most of them gives me error.

 

[Zaiga]

I tried using Nugasa, and it was able to find my save files, but when I press A to back them up, it gives me tons of numbers and at the bottom it says "code dump". After that it just freezes.. is that supposed to happen?

Edit: Wow, I am an idiot. I did some searching and I found out that in order for it to backup properly, you need a folder on the ROOT of your SD card called GCSAVES. If you don't have that, then it won't work.

 

[Golfman560]

Okay I guess only a few Nintendo MC's work. If you get errors on GCMM then you'll get them with Nugasa

 

[j.m.g.a]

I suppose we have to wait for a manager compatible with official MCs or buy another.

super mario sunshine working fine going to try a few more

GROAN...cant edit pikmin 2 file to large to edit in the free version of winhex are there any other free hex programs to fix the saves with

Google "freeware hex editor". There are some options, but I found HxD and think it's pretty good. Perhaps it should be linked in the first post in lieu of the shareware WinHex, if there's the possibility of many people running up against it's free version limitations.

Okay, I have another question, I opened both of the save files with winhex, but I'm not sure which parts I have to change. The guide just stated "the start" but I don't know where to start or end. By the way I am trying to edit a Gotcha Force save file.

First 5 values should do it. It's the Game/Disc ID or something like that.

Okay here's what I did. I copied the entire file of the correct save file and pasted it over my corrupt file. After I booted the game up, it said the save file was corrupt. Is it because I copied everything into the file?

I would imagine yes...
Why would you even do this? You realize you're overwriting the save data you're going through the trouble of trying to save in the first place don't you?

 

[Zaiga]

Yes.. I realized that after I did it. The only reason I did that in the first place was because I was unsure of which parts to change.
