Homebrew GCI to PNG/JPEG?

[Faraday23]

I recently used GCMM to transfer some in-game screen shots from my memory card. It said they were .JPEG files. However, when I transferred them, they became GCI files. Does anyone know a fix or a way to convert the files?

The .gci files are saves not screenshots.

But in GCMM, the file extention was .JPEG

Try editing the extension to .jpg and see what happens.

that corrupted the file.

GCMM is a save manager.. is it even capable of screenshots? Doesn't sound quite right. What app/loader are you using to take said screenshots?

I assume you're talking about screenshots in the vein of Smash Bros. Melee, where they're saved as game data on the Memory Card. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, to my knowledge, there aren't any tools out there that converts this sort of game data into normal image files, so you won't be able to use a tool to convert it. What you could do, however, would be to import the screenshot data to a virtual memory card using Dolphin's Memcard Manager, run your game in Dolphin, and take a screenshot of the screenshot using Dolphin's screenshot tool. If you haven't already, use CleanRip to rip the game ISO so you can emulate it in Dolphin. It's a bit hacky, but it's the only solution I can think of at the moment.
