you can transfer saves using the official method, via sd card. it will create a data.bin in sd/private/WII/title id/data.bin . there are some that have copy protection though. for those, either use the option in priiloader or use save manager gx.

Or through the data management on the Wii's settings, though that wouldn't work for games that have save Anti-Piracy measures.

there's a priiloader system menu hack for that

U can also dump your real nand to emulated nand using GX, or a number of other tool's. Once that's done, u can adjust gx's nand emulation and path settings so saves are accessed via sd or usb.

Thanks a lot to all for your answers.

Dumping real nand to an emulated nand using usbloader gx or savegamemanager gx?
Can I install wiware to the emulated nand like dsiware to hiyacfw too?

Yes.

Yep, though not all Wiiware titles will work when installed in emunand. There's a compatibility list you should check out, to see which games work and which don't..

So I am using my old Wii as a Gamecube mostly. It boots automatically to USB Loader GX and I use a Gamecube controller.

Is it possible to use Wii VC and reset/save with just the gamecube controller? Right now, I need a wiimote just to save and reset

@CoolMe
Is SNEEK still needed for emunand for Wii and vWii?

Not sure what you mean by "save", as you don't need the Wiimote to save, but you need it to quit the game and that's when it "saves".
As for resetting the game, i don't think you can do that with a GC controller. *anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong*

I'm not an expert on Sneek/Emunand or anything but.. if you want to create an Emunand with a region different from your system's, like NTSC and the system is PAL etc. you need to do it using Sneek/Uneek.
But if you want to create an Emunand based from your own system nand, means if the system is NTSC you'll get an NTSC emunand etc. You can do that just with USBLoaderGX. Without the need of Sneek/Uneek. That's how i understand it anyway..

 

[godreborn]

sneek isn't very hard to make (only takes 5 minutes), just follow the instructions.

You might want to post a syscheck here.
Is it formatted as Fat32, is it plugged into port 0?
Does it pass the usb initiation screen after launching usbloadergx?

 

[Phyyzzz]

the ssd works perfect, and now im trying to play GameCube games on the wii and they also work fast, but is there a way to use wii controllers for the GameCube games? I got my ps4 controller to work but idk if the wii ones can too.

 

[CoolMe]

is there a way to use wii controllers for the GameCube games?

What Wii controllers? Wii Classic controllers can work with Nintendont, just make sure they're synced in with the Wii before launching Nintendont. I think it's the same with Wiimote + Nunchuck but i'm not sure..

 

[godreborn]

Yeah, you can use wii controllers, but you need the nunchaku.

oh ok thanks, also is there a way to get the super loader gx app in my wii menu? its pretty annoying to load into homebrew channel every time I want to play another game.

USBLoaderGX? Install this wad and it should appear on your Wii's home menu.

 

[godreborn]

If you mean usb loader gx, change 'return to' to usb loader gx upon exiting a game.

What Wii VC (that uses GameCube controller) are you playing? Most of them run better via Homebrew emulators?!

All VC can use Gamecube controller. Point is to use official VCs for this one.

 

[gZa]

Then you're destined to also need a WiiRemote to quit/save the game.

If you use Homebrew and standalone emulators you can do everything via the GC pad plus Load/Save States and improved display output (scanlines etc).

You'll probably need to ditch USB LoaderGX for WiiFlow though.
