How do I dump Wii save files for use with Dolphin?

Are you able to see the save data for it using savemii mod?

Can they not be moved to sd card in settings? Even in vWii I'm sure you can and I'd like to think Dolphin can use them?

Edit
Taken from Dolphin forum.....
For Wii games:
Just go onto your Wii and navigate to the save data manager. Then copy any save file you wish to copy to Dolphin to your SD card. Then, go into Dolphin and go to Tools->Wii Save Import and find your save file. It should be located within SD Card Root\private\wii\title\ and in one of the folders located there, there should be a data.bin file. That's what you want to import. For example, to import my Skyward Sword save, I had to go to G:\private\wii\title\SOUE\ and select data.bin, press Ok, and it imported the save file. Done. Big Grin

yeah, I was pretty sure the official method would work. though, some games are copy protected, so the copy and move buttons will be greyed out for those. you can get around it with save manager gx.

I do have SaveMii, but I believe that when I ran it, nothing showed up for Wii saves.

Interesting, the Wii U eshop versions of Wii games must behave differently than actual vWii-side games then

They're both saved on the vwii side.

I just saw your post about it here:

That would probably be why it's not working, if the tiramisu guide page links to a nonfunctional version.

My SD card has my mod files on it, including homebrew apps and Tiramisu. Is that going to be a problem?

Na as it doesn't format the card or anything, only writes the files to them but @godreborn made a good point that some may be greyed out.
