Save game manager homebrew have a completely different format for backing up and restoring data than the usual Wii system sub-menu. I don't know how either relates to the way Dolphin does it though!
What? I've copied an MKWii save before. At least I think so. Either that or I used an unlock everything code...but anyway does what you've posted above mean I can just grab the folder from nand and zip the contents of it up, rename it data.bin, and put in the appropriate folder of the SD card? Idky the files in the OP have those name extensions.Save game manager backup/install save data directly into the corresponding place in the NAND.
That's why a SGM dumped save data is stored in a 16-digit folder named XXXXXXXXYYYYYYYY.
This means this save data is extracted from NAND:/title/XXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYY.
XXXXXXXX may be different depending on if the game is a Wii Shop Channel download(Legit downloaded or pirated), or a Disk based game, while YYYYYYYY is the game's ID4 ASCII in hex.
Dolphin's user/Wii directory is the same as that of a Wii's NAND. If you extract a bootmii dump by Showmiiwads, it will show almost the same as Dolphin's Wii Directory.
As for the Wii sub-menu backup, it encrypts the data in NAND:/title/XXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYY, and store it under SD:/private/wii/title/AAAA/data.bin, when AAAA is the game's ID4.
I do not know which kind of encryption it belongs to.
Some save data cannot be copied (Like Mario Kart Wii and SSBB)by the official method because all of the data is stored under NAND:/title/XXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYY/nocopy.
Some games have data that can be partially copied(Like Battalion wars and Mario Strikers Charged), have some data stored under the directory NAND:/title/XXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYY/nocopy.

There is a WWE 13 game save I downloaded from . I want to use this save on my Wii but I don't know how to do it? Can someone help? There is a banner.bin and .dat file that I don't know what to do with. I have the USA version of the game.
from your youtube download ....put the banner.bin and SVR13ALL.dat in the nand save folder your using for dolphin here:
\title\00010000\53335845\data
lead dolphin to the iso
rite click on the game and select export to wii
you will find the converted save in the folder the Dolphin WiiEmulator is installed in @
\private\wii\title\S3XE\Data.bin
(i already did this to convert the save using Dolphin 4.0-722 not the Dolphin3.0-721 from the pics and uploaded it here if your too lazy to make your own)
copy proper folder directory to the private folder of your wii sd card,
use save game manager to copy save to nand if saves don't copy you'll need to enable copy protected saves via preloader hacks or whatever
Thanks very much! Do I have to have the iso in Dolphin to do this? I have it on my usb hard drive already in wbfs format.
