Transferring memory card data from real GC to PC?

isamu · 08-28-2011, 06:54 PM #1

Are there any hard ware gadgets that I can buy that will allow me to transfer memory card data from a real GC memory card to my PC? I am interested in transferring my F-ZeroGX replays from my real card to my PC and watching them in F-ZeroGX via Dolphin. What is everything that I need? Please let me know, thanks Smile

ctr-gcs, the gc homebrew app , can take raw backups that should do

for the wii there is my ctr-gcs DacoTaco edition

Umm, where do I buy ctr-gcs? I don't see it for sale anywhere. Does it have the proper connection dongle I need to connect GC to PC? Or is it some sort of memory card adapter?

No, it's an app that you run on your GC (or Wii) to get a RAW dump of your Memory Card...

I know, But don't I need a piece of physical *HARDWARE* in order to do these transfers from a memcard to pc? Isn't there some sort adapter or special GC to PC cable?

I've been wondering about this too. I'd quite like to get my Tales of Symphonia clear save so I don't have to stack up my 5000 grade again. XD

No, you don't. On a real Wii the RAW dump are saved on the SD card that you can easily connect to your PC. Also, there is a similar method (using a SD card too) for GameCube...

I don't have a real WII just a GC. Whats the similar method?

For GC, you'll need an SD Card Adapter like this and some way of running the ctr-gcs app (in other words, you need a homebrew-enabled GameCube)...
