Hacking Homebrew Save Mii mod is not giving me .sav files

[Xander151]

First off I am using tiramisu and everything is updated to the latest versions. I also downloaded save mii mod directly from the homebrew store

So for the last few days I've been trying to back up my fe 7 save file from my wii U using save mii mod.

However all I get is .bin files
I have no clue how to convert them or how to actually get save mii to export the .sav file.

No written tutorial covers this problem and every video I've watched shows them getting a .sav file

I've also tried backing up snes files and a similar problem arises. They aren't .bin files but rather a bunch of files with extensions I've never heard of. Changing them to .srm doesn't yield results either.

The only success I've had is with ds games. When I back up I do get the coveted .sav file and I can even restore the save using a alternate .sav file just fine.

If anyone is able to help me I'd very much appreciate it thank you.

just reinject them with savemii mod if needbe. afaik, saves for the wiiu are not encrypted, so you could technically replace them manually, and they'd work.

AFAIK savemii dumps the saves in whatever format the Wii U stores them. It's a tool to backup and restore on the Wii U, not to convert for other systems.

I'm pretty sure you're right. savemii mod is compatible with saviine or even a manual inject.

By reinject do you mean restore the back up?
Also how do I replace them manually?

Is there a way to change the format the wii u stores it in that case?

Yes, you need a save already for all three situations. They'll be indexed, so your save will overwrite another.

I tried reinjecting them but it didn't help. I still can't extract a .sav
I know I'm doing something wrong here I'm just not sure what

There's no general save format. Some are bin, save, or dat.

Oh okay.
I ended up looking through some posts on here and it seems the only solution is hex editing which I have had numerous failures at doing haha.
I think I just need to accept that it's impossible to move some saves between wii u vc and 3ds vc.

Regardless thank you for taking the time to explain everything!
