How do I transfer my Wii save files of WFC games into Dolphin?

Hello. I'm trying to get my personal Brawl savefile and Pokemon Battle Revolution savefile into Dolphin. I cannot do in the standard way, because the Wii console doesn't let you copy into your SD savefiles that belong to games which have online features (I think it was made to prevent cheating, back at the WFC days). How can I do it? Thanks in advance.

You need hack into your Wii in order to gain access to the save files.

Some options:
- Intall BootMii, export your Wii's NAND (internal memory) contents, and import it into your dolphin installation (back up your dolphin "Wii" folder first to preserve whatever save files you already have).
- Install just the Homebrew Channel and find a homebrew app to export the save. I can't open the link at the moment, but instructions on how to install the HBC should be in this website.

Perhaps you can run a savefile app by using LetterBomb or any other such exploit, without installing anything on your Wii but I don't know for sure
