Full Version: Getting copy-protected save from Dolphin to Wii without cIOS?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Since the Wii is in the family room, and I do not have a TV in my room, I found it convenient to play some of my Wii games via Dolphin at times when the TV is taken up and such.

Now I managed to rip a copy-protected save easily without any cIOS via Savegame Extractor, but AFAIK every save installer currently in existence requires cIOS. This is an problem since I REALLY do not want to install any cIOS.


Homebrew-wise, my Wii only has the Homebrew Channel and bootmii as boot2, and I wish to keep it that way. Wii Menu version is 4.3U.
You need a cIOS since every Savegame Installer needs a Trucha Bugged IOS otherwise it can't install.
Actually they just need to port it to IOS58 with HW_AHBPROT then you won't need a cIOS
Thanks, I'll mention that on SaveGame Manager GX's Google Code issues page.

EDIT: Nevermind, it already exists, but is already half a year old...

Don't worry, it's really simple - you're just using the wrong version of Savegame Manager GX. Use this version instead:

You're supposed to run that on your Wii, not in Dolphin! You use that to dump your saves to an SD card and vise-versa.

To get a save into dolphin, right-click a game in the game list, and click "Open Wii save folder". This is where you copy the save data to from your SD card for the game in question (copy the data that's inside the dumped savegame's folder, not the actual folder itself).

Wait wait... if you don't have a Wii, then why do you need to transfer a save either from or to a Wii in the first place?
