I'm trying to transfer my save data from my memory card to my sd card so I can begin playing my original save files on my Wii U but every time I put the memory card in along with the sd card, my save data from the memory card doesn't show up. In the Nintendont settings, I have "Memcard Emulation" on and I have my memory card in slot B but it says that there is no memory card in slot B. I would like to know if anybody can help me transfer my save data from my memory card to my sd card.
I think you don't use Nintendont for that.
You can use Game Cube Memory Manager, or GCMM for that:
https://github.com/suloku/gcmm/releases
It's a homebrew application you can run on the Wii, and gives you access to de save files inside your memory cards. You can copy single files, copy the raw memory card, and you can also insert save files into a memory card too. I consider it to be a must-have application to back up my save files from time to time.

Thnx @MaeseJesus , I backed up the raw memory card file and renamed it to the appropriate 4 letter code of the game I wanted it to load and now I have my save file on my sd card.

Is possible to backup just one save file of the memory card, but as a full raw?
I mean, if I have a memory card with 20 games saved but I want to backup one of them, but as a full raw file containing just that game.

Downloading any portion of the memory card will still take up 2mb of space. To only backup one game's save file, you'd need to get some extra applications on your computer to convert the .gci to a .raw file. If the problem is that you dont know the 4 letter code to save the file as for it to load the one specific game, if you go into GCMM and press - on the wiimote, scroll down to the game you want to load, there should be a 4 letter code displayed on the right-hand side where all the other info about the game is displayed.
-Hope this helped
Thanks, yes, it helps. Couldn't the autor gives the option, when you want to backup one game only, to save it as .gci or raw? This would make things easier and we won't need extra tools. That would be really great.
I can't figure out how to convert the .gci file to a .raw file for the SD card. I used GCMM to pull the files off of the original memory card, but when I use it to restore the files, they only want to go back to a GameCube Memory card. I can't use GCMM to put the files onto the SD card. SaveGame Manager GX also doesn't seem to be able to do this.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
