Hardware Put save into the Wii

[Perry93]

Hi all, i've a PAL wii working fine with the homebrew channel.. I'd like to put SSBB save into the wii, but i don't know how..

i tried to launch Savegame Installer, but after reading the backup i got ERROR! (ret = -1)

.. Do i need the original game?

can u help me? thanks..

p.s. sorry for my bad english...

you should be able to copy from your sd cart to your wii using the normal method, in the data management
because there is only copy-prevention to your sd cart, not to your wii

I don't know why i can't copy the save from the sd card to the wii..

 

[ddp127]

did you already played it?
you need to play the game first, make a savefile, go to the data management, delete your save and then you can copy the other save from your sd cart, backup or original doesn't make a difference

or if you haven't played the game, you have to place it in a folder structure on your SD card like so: \private\wii\title\GAME\data.bin (replacing GAME with it's corresponding game code)

Then just transfer to the Wii

you always need that structure, but you cant copy a savegame from a game you haven't played before, safety meassure from ninty, some no one would be able to copy home-made save games the wii

For the savegame installer, you do need an original copy, other than that, these guys are right, you should be able to copy it right over using the wii menu. If that dosen't work, then try takeing the No-Copy protection off, with either Backup Loader Gamma's reloader, or with preloader...

Thx for the replies..

anyway i've already played the game and i've made a savefile.. but i'm afraid of deleting it because i don't want to lose it..

i tried to copy my savefile from wii to sd card, but i can't!

(I also tried with other games, and so i was able) ..

first delete the save from your sd, then use the rebooter option of geckoOS, copy the save from your wii to your sd, from sd to computer, and put the save you downloaded on your wii, and you should be able to copy it

I still can't copy the save from wii to my sd.. uff

in the menu of geckoOS, you first need to click rebooter options, and remove nocopy protection, then press b to reboot and then you should be able to copy it
