Hello everyone! I have a little problem I hope you can help me with
So my Nintendo Wii was buried in the basement because we couldn’t use it, since the disk reader lens was not functioning properly, and most of the games were not being read correctly (yes, we tried buying the lens cleaner kit from Nintendo, didn’t work. So we are pretty sure it’s something else that’s wrong). But not long ago, we heard about HDD games you can play by hacking your wii. So we tried it out. We downloaded our old games which work perfectly fine now except for one detail: all our data was gone in every game except for Super Smash Bros Brawl. The game files are there if I look them up in the Game Console’s data, but they are just not working on the HDD games, we have to start from 0. Is there anything I can do? What happened? We didn’t mess around with the wii save file data when softmodding the wii, so I’m not sure why this is happening. Thank you for your time!!
p.s: there’s one more thing, the Mario Party 8 game has 2 save “blocks”. One from 2010 (I suppose my original save) with a candy icon, and another one with a headshot of the game host and his hat. (I suppose that’s my new empty save file). It’s the only game that has 2 “blocks” with different icons. What could have happened?
