In regards to Showmewads, how can I get it to extract my gamesaves? I've been trying to do this through Showmewads but it won't show me the contents of my nand.bin.
 
I wish you had told me about a fresh NAND working, because I could have helped you with this instead.

MAJOR help since I'm in Windows 7. Thanks! I shall do that when I get home.

One more question: using Showmewads, is there a way to get it so my Wii will play all my virtual console games already stored on my SD card so I don't have to download 60+ games?

No problem, it took me a long time to figure that out. I had searched on the internet for forever (including the ShowMiiWads google code page), but nobody seemed to have a solution. I ended up having to use Simple FS Dumper on my Wii before I thought of that.

I think if you have the game saves you should be able to play the games.
 
I'm having difficulty doing this process. I'll detail exactly what happens when I do what I do

  • If you aren't on Windows 7, skip to step 6
  • Right-click on ShowMiiWads.exe and click Properties.
  • Go to the Compatibility tab
  • Check "Run in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows Vista
  • Enable "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK
  • Launch ShowMiiWads
    All of these steps are ok
  • Go to Tools, Extract Bootmii Dump
  • Go to whatever nand.bin is in and select it
    Selected the old nand.bin with my saves
  • Once it's done, go to View and select ShowMiiNand
    I cannot choose "ShowMiiNand" without changing the location of the nand backup path to the folder that has all the extracted files (nand-extracteda)
  • Right-click on any one of the items and click Savedata, Backup All
    Easy, done
  • Go to Options, Change NAND Backup Path
  • Select whatever folder your formatted NAND is extracted to and click OK
    This is where I'm not sure of what to do. Was I supposed to extract the contents of the formatted nand first? I tried to but I'm getting an error saying "Can't open file:
    ohnoes.png
    \My Documents\nand-extracteda\title \ 00000001 \ 00000002\content\title.tmd?-".
    (I added spaces because my post wouldn't display correctly)
  • Right-click on any of the files and go to Savedata, Restore All
    Couldn't get this far
 
I do have all the contents of my old nand dumped onto my hard drive. The hard part is getting the save files into my new nand. I have no idea how to do that.
