Hi, If you google it I believe that you can find so easy...... one that i found so quick should be at this address: https://github.com/suloku/gcmm .
The name it's GCMM, you should backup all the saves files from the GC Fisical Memory from your Wii/Hombrew Launcer and than transfer your files to the vWii(WiiU) directory of your USB Loader GX (could be into the SD or USB as your preferences, maybe SD could be better), settle the GC Saves Backups File Directory from the settings of your vWii USB Loader GX and you should be ok. If you have problems about let us know.....

First go to USB Loader GX Settings from your vWii, and watch in the Settings Menu where USB Loader GX saves or looking the directory of your saves files Game Cube. And than place your backup files into that directory folder......
looked in both usb loader gx, and nintendont. could not find any setting to change the path for gcn save files
If no body will replay you before, later, when I will be at home I will look on it and let you know.
Hi @DarthBellic , here we go man:
This should be the easiest way, there is another way but in the PC you have to use Dolphin as well, and for now I avoid to tell you, try and let me know.
- By PC, download the GCMM onto your previous Wii SD card (put it in the apps folder).
- Put the SD card in your previous Wii and connect the real GC memory card, and run GCMM app from the Homebrew channel.
- Select the game that you want to do the backup (yes, this method it needs that you repeat this step for every time in each save game list) choose to make Raw Backup , this will save the files in a new folder created by GCMM in SD:\apps\MCBACKUP and named with the game serial number.
- Once you finish it, close everything and turn off the console, insert your Wii SD card in the PC and go to the new MCBACKUP folder path.
- Copy the MCBACKUP folder in your computer.
- Double check the names of each save files, because the names must to be named with only 4 CAPITAL letter serial number (example: if you have the save file Spider Man in GUTE52.raw, you have to delete the 52 number and renamed it in GUTE.raw ) otherwise Nintendont (by USB Loader GX) will not see and will not load this save file.
- Once you double check and correct each every names, insert your Wii U/vWii SD card in the computer and copy all the .raw saves data files in the existing SD:\saves directory.
- Put back the Wii U SD card into your Wii U and start the USB Loader GX (or Nintendont), go to Settings - Loader Settings – go to --== Nintendont ==-- section – Memory Card Emulation ( select ON (Multi) ). And if you want, change also the Memory Card Block Size ( to 251) .
- Close the Settings, and once you go back to the main page of USB Loader GX it start the GameCube game (theoretically) USB Loader GX/ Nintendont with your saves data.
This should be the easiest way, there is another way but in the PC you have to use Dolphin as well, and for now I avoid to tell you, try and let me know.
