Sorry if I`m posting this on the wrong topic. I`ve been wondering if there is a way to get symbols in my Mii`s name(such as 3 stars, balloons, for MKW) without getting the SD Card out of my wii. I currently don`t have a laptop and I can not find my USB SD card adapters, and I do not really want to get my motherboard out or to buy another card adapter (I will do so if I can`t do it via USB). I do have HBC and HBB, USB Loader GX and 2 more USB Loaders just in case. Pretty stupid question, I know. Well...Have a nice day!​

You can use all homebrew from USB. just make an "apps" folder on a usb and put them in it like you would for an SD card

You can use FTPii or Wiixplorer to transfer files to SD without removing it.
but you'll need an FTP client on your other device (computer, phone, etc.)
though, if you don't already have these homebrew on your SD card, it will be difficult to launch them without getting your SD card out of the wii.

see if Homebrew Browser let you download Wiixplorer or ftpii.

I got Wiixplorer and FileZilla, I`ve entered the correct address and the correct port, but everytime I try to transfer the Miis folder from my PC to my Wii/my SD Card it gives me this error:
Error: File transfer failed
I`ve tried creating new miis, use different characters in their names, change the location of the Miis folder several times (On my other USB, on the desktop, in the Users folder), set the port to 22 (even if on WiiXplorer it says 21, I`d thought it would be worth to give it a try). Those are the FileZilla messages during the transfers:
Command: CWD /
Response: 250 CWD command successful.
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is current directory.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode
Command: STOR .mae <-- (my Mii`s name)
Error: Failed to convert command to 8 bit charset
Error: File transfer failed
And it keeps repeating. I`ve tried changing settings in Site Manager, changing my user name and password, setting the Encryption to: Use explicit FTP over TLS if available.
I`m kinda stuck right now, should I try getting another program like WiiXplorer or change my FTP client?

the mii filenames are not simple Ascii letters?
are you sure the FAT32 allow these characters?

if FAT32 accept them, then it's a FTP issue (probably ftpii or filezilla) trying to convert it.
I don't know how to keep non ascii letters for the filename.

I thought the filename wasn't important, and the mii's name was inside the file.
did you try to rename the filename to something simple "ballon" for example. and install it to your miis ?

I'm pretty sure the Mii's name will still have the "star, balloon" symbols, even if you rename the filename.

I think Savegame Manager GX allows you to dump/inject Miis. I don't know if it supports reading them from USB but it's worth a shot.

Didn`t know that. I will try to rename the filename.

Yea I`ve tried to install SMGX but I could not find any working links. Can you please give me a link to smgx download?

I`ve tried to rename them, and still gives me the error, this time it says: Response: 550 Permission denied. I`ve figured out that I have to create a Miis folder in the sd card, but everytime I try to do that on filezilla it gives me this Response: 550 Permission denied. Is there a wii homebrew program that allows you to create folders in your sd card?

Will try that! Thanks!

you should be able to create new folders with ftpii.
if not, any folder should work too, so if you have the error when transferring the file it's not a folder issue. your SD is not write protected?

You can use WiiXplorer to create folders. (it also has ftpii server integrated)

It is write protected at the moment. I will unlock it and try again

Nope, still getting an error. I will install ftpii and create a Miis folder, then try again. (When I try to move the Miis folder to the sd card it says something like- error: sd:/miis not found, so that’s why I want to create a separate folder in the sd card called miis, and then directly transferring the miis into it)

Dude! It worked! WiiXplorer gave me some other files (not the ones in my sd card) so I just had to install ftpii. Now I got my first `hacked` miis. Thanks man
