I have a Wii with USB Loader GX accessing my library of over 1000 wbfs games, and 500 GC games on a hard disk. I use a forwarder to access USB Loader GX and it uses Nintendont for the GC games. In addition I have a number of emulators (C64, Arcade, etc) that I access via the Homebrew channel. All the apps, emulators and ROMs are on a SDHC card, with the games on the HD. It is straightforward and works well.
I regularly remove the HD and SD Card and back them up, so if either die I could easily replace them. My only concern is that if the Wii dies then I have no backup of my Wii game saves and Wii Miis. My GC saves are on the HD so they are fine, and I can recreate Wii settings manually.
I've looked at using SaveGame Manager GX to backup my Miis. They never change, so a single backup is all I need. It's a possible solution for my Miis. I've also looked at using it to backup my game saves. But you can only restore the game saves to a replacement Wii if there are saves already there. It isn't practical for me to restart hundreds of games, to create empty game saves before the restore, so it isn't a workable solution.
Is there an Emunand solution that I could use instead to run the Wii game saves from my HD? If my Wii dies can I just install the Homebrew Channel and CIOS on the new Wii, and point USB Loader GX to my emulated game saves or emulated nand on my HD? Or are the emulated saves or nand 'per console', so not transferable to a new Wii?
Is a full neek2o solution a better backup and would that be transferable to a new Wii?
Many thanks!
