Can we transfer saves from Dolphin to Wii console? - hypnotoad - 03-02-2011

Using the Wii menu on my Wii console, I copied the save file from "Zelda: Twilight Princess" to an SD card, and it created this file:

Code:
H:\private\wii\title\RZDE\data.bin

It's 77.2 KB, or 79,104 bytes. I don't see any "data.bin" file in the Dolphin folder. I see these:

Code:
\x64\User\Wii\title\00010000\525a4445\content\title.tmd
Size: 520 bytes

\x64\User\Wii\title\00010000\525a4445\data\banner.bin
Size:  28.6 KB or 29,344 bytes

\x64\User\Wii\title\00010000\525a4445\data\zeldaTp.dat
Size:  16.0 KB or 16,384 bytes

\x64\User\Wii\title\00010000\525a4445\data\nocopy
Empty folder...

The file names and paths and sizes are all different. Is there some utility I need? Is this something we're just not able to do yet? Is there a tutorial I missed? Does anyone know?

Thank you. Smile

I found this post. I right-clicked the game, on the list, and hit "Export Wii Save (Experimental)". It created a "data.bin" file with the same file path.

The Wii would not copy the file.

The size was 77.3 KB (79,232 bytes). 128 bytes bigger than the one from the Wii. The Dolphin save has all 3 slots used, all well into the game, but the save from the Wii was just starting, with only one slot used.
