I've been trying to find a gci save file for Windwaker to play from, and while I've downloaded several, when I try to import them onto a memory card all the text turns into gibberish - Windwaker also creates a folder called card A where it holds 01-GZLE-gczelda files, but when I tried replacing the empty one with one I downloaded it acted like I had removed it. Is this because the gci is of the wrong region?

It does sound a bit like you tried to insert a Japanese region GCI, which won't work unless you're using the Japanese version of the game.

Is there a way to change the region of the file?

How easy that is to do depends on the game. I'm not sure what the situation is for Japanese -> American Wind Waker, but if it's as easy as for American -> European Wind Waker, you only have to hex edit the fourth byte of the GCI file from ASCII 'J' to ASCII 'E'.

Changed with hex edit, and it imported successfully into memcard. Thank you!!
