I think I have a program that does that on my Wii, from trying to get ARGC to work via homebrew. Let me check.

EDIT: Hmm, I can't seem to find it, but I believe it does it the opposite way. I'm looking for the guide I followed that had it.

EDIT2: Sorry, I can't find the guide. :P I'll keep looking and I'll let you know if I come across it.

Found NuGaSa but it says it may corrupt official MC's. Guess I'll give it a try anyway.

edit: Wever beat me to it by under a minute. :)

I've tried NuGaSa, Gamecube Saver and GCMM before and GCMM for me has the best results for extrcting GameCube saves.

NuGaSa did absolutely nothing when I pressed 1 to backup saves. Pressing 2 worked to restore, but that's not what I need.
The WiiBrew page of GCMM says it doesn't work with official Nintendo MC's... which is what I have.

Edit: Will try this: http://gbatemp.net/i...dpost&p=1790846

Edit: I can't get ANY of these apps to work. I get them loaded, but none of them do a single thing when I press the corresponding button to make the backup(s).

As I mentioned here, the GCMM version Hielkenator linked to worked rather well for me (PoP sands of time & Paper mario: OK. F-Zero became corrupted*).
I'm using a third party memory card, though.

Savegame restorer may have a nice looking icon, but is totally user-unfriendly (one savegame at the time, only .gci, GC buttons only, named one or two characters long, both name and extension uppercase, savegame should be located in SD:\gc_saves and a savegame shouldn't exist on the memory card already) and has one error warning for literally anything that can go wrong, from a name mismatch to a corrupted savegame. It's more of a proof-of-concept than actual homebrew, if you ask me.




*note: restoring a savegame from the internet is corrupted as well, so there's probably some sort of security or identification stuff on that game.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I read the save file is linked to your NNID so won't work on other Switches but not sure if that true, or if somebody figured out how to patch that out. Maybe why after all these years, no save has appeared for it.
