Hacking Using Dolphin Xenoblade save file on Wii U Virtual Console version

[Fgamer]

With Xenoblade having just been release on the Wii U Virtual Console I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to use a Dolphin save file with the Wii U VC version and to later take that save file off the Wii U and continue on Dolphin again.

Thanks

Yes, should work

No, it wouldn't work because to my knowledge there is no way to copy a save file onto (or from) a Wii U.

EDIT: Turns out that you can copy the save data from the Wii U to an HDD, but it's bundled with the game itself, and there is no way to just copy the save file.

Not 100% sure this'll work but don't wii vc games get/store their save data on the vwii? if that's the case you should be able to simply import the dolphin save to the vwii (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thre...ave-on-an-actual-wiii-system-using-an-sd-card) and then the the Wii U should use that one.

Yes they do store the data on the vwii. I can confirm because my Wii u version of Metroid Prime trilogy used the same save as my USB loader version.

Wrong, the Wii U wii VC games use the vwii to run it, and also use the vwii saves.
