Wii Save Export?

[conductor_bosh]

it's not working; well it sort of is. On the Wii it shows up on the SD card as a Monster Hunter Tri save, but it won't let me move or copy it!

Is monster hunter a protected save ? ie (are you able to export the wii save to the SD card?)

protected saves unfortunately would require a homebrew enabled wii

if it is not a protected save, and you have never had a monster hunter save on the wii you would need to create a save before you are allowed to copy to the wii

I have the homebrew channel installed, tell me how I can get my save off my SD card?

btw I have internet on my computer but not on my wii, so is there a way I can do this without use of internet on the wii? (downloading files and putting them on SD card is ok tho)

After some experimentation, it seems that the cause of the problem is that inside the save data.dat file for Monster Hunter Tri, there is a folder called "nocopy" containing all the 80kb character data files, and the save import/export of Dolphin doesn't seem to support folders just yet, and considering the way the support for import/export is implemented I don't think it can.

Anyone know if this is to change at some point in the near future?

So if I just paste my wii file from another rev into r5456, run it,export save and stick it on the sd-card, it should work?

I'm unable to test copying the save from an SD card to a Wii that has never had a Monster Hunter Tri save on it, but copying the save from an SD card onto the Wii I'm currently using works fine, whether or not I delete the save first.

The MH3 save has a folder called "nocopy" that contains data files with no extensions.

The files inside the nocopy folder are:

• data00
• data01
• data02
• data03
• data04
• data05
• network
• system
  

The files at the base directory of the save are:

• banner.ppm
• icon0.ppm
• icon1.ppm
• icon2.ppm
• icon3.ppm
• icon4.ppm
• icon5.ppm
• icon6.ppm
• icon7.ppm
• title
  

The save file that I got that information from had only a single character on it, saving more characters might possibly generate more files, but they would likely be something along the lines of another 6 data files starting at "data06" and continuing to "data11", and so on for other saves.

I've uploaded the save file and an archive with it's contents for you to use in testing if you like.

Good luck testing it.

it seems everything is working than
banner.bin includes all of these files

Quote:# banner.ppm
# icon0.ppm
# icon1.ppm
# icon2.ppm
# icon3.ppm
# icon4.ppm
# icon5.ppm

# icon7.ppm
# title

copying to a wii that has never played a particular game will never work

sorry to dig up this old thread but it seems somewhat relevant to a problem i was having...
I have a PAL wii with the homebrew channel installed and I had been using hbc to play the american version of rune factory frontier.
I transferred my save over to my PC to use with dolphin and then when i tried to transfer the data back, my wii wouldn't let me put the data onto the internal memory.
First it complained that the data already exists, so since i had a backup of that data already i deleted it and then tried copying the data from the sd card one more time.
Nothing.
The wii appears to go through the motions of copying but at the end it gives me a message saying that the data was not copied. Any ideas?

*edit* fixed it... had to take some extreme measures but i fixed it
