I am no longer in possession of a Wii as I gave it away once I acquired a Wii U. I know it is possible to import Wii save data from a memory card to a Wii U, but I am currently wondering if it is possible to transfer exported dolphin Wii saves to a Wii U. If it is, can I do it without a Wii?
Is it possible to import Wii save to Wii U?

I have a theory but I don't know if it will work :
- tick "Insert SD card" on Dolphin settings - install the Wii System Menu in "Tools" menu (you have to dump your wii system menu in .wad) - boot the Wii System Menu in "Tools" menu - go into saves settings, copy your saves from the Wii (Dolphin) memory to the virtual SD card (keep in mind some saves don't allow it) - open Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Wii/SD.raw with WinImage or whatever soft - copy the Private folder (where your saves are) into your real SD card plugged into your computer - put your real SD card on your WiiU, load the Wii menu and copy your saves from SD to the Wii memory

I don't remember if this gets you the save data in the right format, but it probably does. (Also, nitpick: You don't have to dump the System Menu as a WAD in order to use it. A regular NAND dump works well.) 03-11-2016, 07:57 PM
Whoops I forgot about that export Wii save feature. It's probably better yes.

As long as the save file is not copy protected, the method JosJuice described should work. If it's a copy-protected save, Dolphin will probably warn you, and in that case you'll need a homebrew app like Savegame Manager GX on your Wii U to restore this save...
