Hacking Using previous Wii channels?

[Bluespheal]

So I got a new (used) Wii since my old one completely died, and decided to hack it in order to recover as much games as I could, since the Wii-shop is just about to die off and I have most my games and all my channels backed-up, so my question is, is there a way to "enable" my saved channels to function again? I know there is a "key" linked to the console and the channel and unless both match, they can't be played, there is something similar in the 3DS where you just have to install said keys and viola.

I know you can install new ones and a ton more, but I just want to recover access to the ones I already have in my SD card, so is there an easy way to do this?

Also, sorry if this sounds noobish, but I just started on Wii hacking and the google searches I did yielded no results.

Do you wanna hack your wii or something else? Since I did not understood correctly, please reply me

I have two Wii, one is broken, and very rarely turns on anymore, luckily I was able to get most of my channels and save data backed up in an SD card, now I have a new Wii which I already hacked, thing is, I can't seem to use or restore my backups from the SD card, is there a way to use this data or would I need to install everything from scratch?

I think your wii is the new wii so bootmii can be only installed as ios on new wiis. And i think that every wii have own nands and usable ios for itself so i suggest you to install everything from scratch.

The Wii I bought is actually an old model, I mostly buyed it for GC support and Megaman 9 and 10, so far I've decided to install most things from scratch, however I found another problem, some of my previous save data can't be moved to the new Wii, I've read this is due to save-protection in games that connect to the internet, any way to bypass this?

Remove your internet connection in wii by going wii system settings, place data back and try again.

 

[Bluespheal]

I've tried what you told me, didn't work. It's not that the save data connects to the internet, it's just that games that connect have a special flag that prevents them to be copied back to the Wii, is there a way to remove this flag?

Umm it didnt ever happened to me since my sd card reader is broken. Wii cant read sd card so i used this guide : https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-for-sd-less-wii-homebrewing.497626/ to hack my wii. I will search it on internet and reply you hope it works for you

I think games copied to SD are encrypted with a per-console key, so unless you have a key dump from the old Wii or a BootMii NAND backup (which contains all the keys) you're probably out of luck there and will have to reinstall them.

That one is easy, use Savegame Manager GX to restore them. Alternatively Priiloader has a "Disable nocopy flag" hack, but I'm not sure if that ignores the nocopy flag on import or simply prevents it from being added to exported saves, if it's the latter it won't help you in this case.

I was under the impression that Savegame Manager GX needed the saves to have been previously exported using itself for me to be able to import them back into another system, I'll give it a look nonetheless.

Thankfully,
The Real Jdbye helped you and that is also same as what I searched on internet. Have fun!

I'm pretty sure it supports multiple formats, both its own decrypted format and the official encrypted format.

I've tried and found just some of my data, most which is not save-protected, however games like Megaman 9 or 10 I just find "content.bin" and can't copy or decrypt that, I'm sure I have the save data on my SD card, I can even attempt to move it, but the wii won't let me.

 

[Jitoku]

What does it says i mean the error code given when you try to move it from sd card to wii

 

[Bluespheal]

It doesn't give me an actual error code, it just tells me something like this: "This data can't be transferred to this wii console"(this was a translation)

 

[Jitoku]

Games with Wi-Fi can't be copied on a SD card nor can be moved to Wii.

 

[Bluespheal]

Is there a way to bypass this? If not it's not that big of a deal honestly, I'm just curious more than anything

 

[Jitoku]

If you have installed Priiloader, you can use "Disable nocopy flag" hack in Priiloader, I think that should work.

 

[Bluespheal]

I've also tried that, as Jsbye said, that only seems to not place the flag while exporting, importing saves are still locked
