Gaming Homebrew How would i go about playing my old save file of Mario Galaxy 2?

[WillExis]

So i recently hacked my Wii U (tiramisu on 5.5.5), and I was thinking about how I have this save of Mario Galaxy 2 from way back in the day on it (imported from my original wii). The copy i used as a kid belonged to family members who moved far away and lost contact with, so i was never able to finish it. Because the eShop is about to end card transactions soon, I was thinking of just buying it on VC and picking up from there, but i'm curious; if I got the game through something like Wii U USB Helper, would I be able to use my original save out the gate? Or would there be extra steps to make it possible? Would i have to install vWii and use a different method?

Did you play the game on the original Wii? If so I don't think it would. If it was on WIi Mode, I also doubt that, I tried using SaveMii WUT to import a VC save to the Wii U equivalent VC but you can't do that I think.

//EDIT: Also summoning @Vague Rant @E1ite007 for vWii save injection.

//EDIT²:

//EDIT³: So the steps are:

1. Run the game one time to create the needed folders and files.
2. Use the link at the second edit to inject the save to vWii.
3. As vWii and Wii VC share saves that's all: Win!

easiest way imo is to import the save the official way. I don't know if that has copy protection (don't think it does).
