I really want to thanks Maschell for this tool, I could finally recover a few saves from a damaged flashdrive I used to use it on my WiiU. Sadly most games just gave me the corrupted usb drive error but I got a few saves (Including Wind Waker HD) back. Though what pains me the most is my nSMBU save data with all the challenges in gold.

Edit2: Dumped it with ddd with no problems. Maybe a bug?

I have the same problem, had a look at the source code and can confirm this is a bug. Wii Party U and other games only use the shared savegame folder (instead of user specific one) and if saviine fails to read the user folder it will also skip the common folder. That is why "ddd" works. I have created an issue (https://github.com/Maschell/saviine/issues/1) but I am also a developer (not C) and tried to fix that. I will test my unofficial Saviine 1.2 version today and if it works, I can give you the elf file. Also Maschell will get a pull request so that he can integrate the fix to the official source code.

Why did I do that? I was forced to reset my console because my previous girl-friend had an account which I couldn't delete. Fortunatelly, I could dump all savegames and I was able to inject them successfully - except few. That was motivation enough for me to support that tool. The account is gone and the savegames are rescued. Awesome work!

What am I suppose to set the Saviine server IP to? My IPV4 or what?

Yes, the IPv4 address of the computer where saviine_server is running.


Finally, I have fixed Saviine to restore games that uses only common save path. I have tested Wii Party U and it works like a charm. :) Enjoy this unofficial version 1.2 Please use the official version 1.1b which includes the fix.

Sure, but not today anymore. Have to restore some more savegames. I will commit my changes tomorrow. Then, the issue can get marked as resolved.

This has probably been asked before but I can't find the answer:

Does Saviine require the original game disc to backup the game save?

I sold a lot of my games last year, so I don't have the discs any more...

I put the app in the apps folder with my other applications on my SD card, what do I have to do on my PC end so that I can launch it?

Suggestion: Could you add an "autoaccept" argument or something so it wouldn't be needed to go to the computer and press "Accept" each time you dump?

Reporting in. Saviine worked wonderfully with Xenoblade Chronicles X. I wanted to move my save from a second account to my main account in the Wii U and it worked perfectly.

XCX didn't have a common folder though.
