    Hacking Emulation Gaming Hardware Homebrew How do I import beaten save files to nintendont for Wii and WiiU

    GameCube saves are .gci files, any loader that uses GameCube games targets a saves folder if Nintendont is loading GameCube data, in that folder is a .raw file, that file acts as a Memory Card, if you play and save a GameCube game once using the MemCard Emulation , you will find a .raw with the...

    Hacking Emulation Feedback Gaming Homebrew What is the Best Way to Download/Install Version 4.2 for Mario Kart 8 in 2025?

    Cool. I will try that later. I though all servers were off. I might come back if I need any extra help, if it comes down to needing an app that is fine too. All the modding is done I was just unsure what app linked to updates.

    Hacking Emulation Feedback Gaming Homebrew What is the Best Way to Download/Install Version 4.2 for Mario Kart 8 in 2025?

    Savegame Manager GX Not Working on vWii.

    Okay so if anybody has that (ISI) error I know why, so if the app sees saves not on the Wii or vWii it flips out, I had to remove all my backups to get the app to load, so that puts this weird little thing to rest.

    Help With a Partly Bricked Wii U.

    So take the new files, replace and delete the old ones, and use Minute to install the ISFShax again? This is how I though this worked, I wanted to update and not ruin anything, I downloaded the folder with the new files in it. So more or less all the steps I did in the first place, but using the...

    Wii U Disc Backups Not Working After Partly Resetting Minute.

    It is acting like the user that bough the game does not exist. 1740360930 Installing the rip again seemed to have fixed my own problem, deleted the games off the HHD and installed them again.

    Hacking Gaming Homebrew Misc Super Mario Galaxy Cutscenes Crashing: A Interesting Theory and Discovery I Made.

    Early copies all have the lack of the logos, I need to work out the version, I have yet to see the version, but it seems like the early copies are all a bad master, the updated disc print works and that older clear ESRB logo version is common, something about that version of the game seems to be...

    Hacking Gaming Homebrew Misc Super Mario Galaxy Cutscenes Crashing: A Interesting Theory and Discovery I Made.

    Okay so this is to have a more up to date theory and guess on something, nobody has a straight answer and I think I found one, so early disc copies of Super Mario Galaxy have a clear ESRB logo and no Dolby Digital logo, a later print has a darker ESRB logo and a Dolby Digital logo, my copy did...

    How safe is hacking the Wii U right now?

    Wii U is fine, but you also want to look into Minute and ISFShax, that adds a layer of brick protection, for SD you want over 32GB if you want to do a full NAND dump of the 32GB model, for other sizes that depends, to run GameCube and Wii games I was using a full sized SandDisk 512GB SD Card...
