Hacking Monster hunter save transfers?

[mashiro21]

I'm planning on buying a new Wii U, but i want to confirm this first. Can I plug in one flash drive on my old Wii U, copy my save game, and then use that flash drive to transfer it to the other? If not, can I use the 3ds transfer to take my save file from my old Wii U to the 3ds, then transfer it to the new Wii U? If I can do that, is there an explanation for the 3ds changing the key from one wii u to another? Thanks!

havent tried yet to copy the monster hunter save from one wiiu to another, on wii it was not possible to copy online related games' savestates. Maybe the 3ds method will work.

What will work for sure: since 5.1.0 WiiU Software you can move all data (and save data) from one wiiu to another. This will solve your problem.

No, it's not possible because each Wii U use a different format USB, but the transfer tool from 5.1.0 should work, as bomigoton said.

ok. The usb part i kind of understand, but how about 3ds? anyone tried it yet? I am on 5.0 so wii u transfer is not an option, unfortunately. and i'm really curious. if i can use the 3ds method which is:

1. transfer my save file from Wii U #1 to 3ds
2. transfer my save file from 3ds to Wii U #2

then that means that the 3ds somehow did some sort of wii u to wii u transfer, right? now that we have gateway homebrew and stuff, can that contribute anything? like transfer stuff from 3ds to Wii U using monster hunter that is not monster hunter related? anyway, i still really wanna know if i can transfer my save before buying a new Wii U. thanks guys!
