@wiicrazy: i think you are right with the service pack thing, i installed the newest one a few weeks ago, and after that the FE stopped working. can i uninstall the pack(s)?

I've seen SP's for redistributable packages too, maybe installing one of them may help. (in the above link I posted)

ps: btw yes you can uninstall the service pack but that would not be wise since it contains lots of security fixes...

i installed the thing in the link above, now i got a diffrent error

The Application could not initialized correctly

Ok, so I'm trying to see if I can inject emulator saves of Ocarina of Time with FE100 and play them on VC, and maybe even work on a save generator for the game, but I'm running into some issues...

I'm able to use FE100's keygrabber to grab all but the NG-priv key (I don't have a wii to get a xyzzy key dump), decrypt the save, convert it so that my emulator can read it, and play the VC save, but I can't seem to take an emulator save, convert that, swap it in, re-package it, and have someone be able to copy it on to their console. They keep getting a "the data may not have been copied" error.

So I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this...

Use latest one bundled in 0.3 version... It can send a dol to a wii to grab the necessary private stuff...

Configuration error issue is sorted out (thanks to davi92 who figured the problem out)

Simply replace the two files in original 0.3 with the ones in the below archive.

Thank you

I haven't tested to extract a savegame yet, but at least it opens now!

Nice tool WiiCrazy thx, when unpacking to banner.bin the output files can be used with Savagame Manager (GX) to install, even when the data.bin file can't be via wii's data management.

Doest it work with .bin files? cuz i want to transfer a game save which has a data.bin file

i hope it supports it

Yes.

Really you should read some of a thread before asking a question

I'm also getting the "the data may not have been copied" error, but with an SNES gamesave. If I misunderstood what this tools is supposed to do or missed something I apologize in advance.

I have Secret of Mana on VC on my Wii and played it for a bit. I used FE100 to extract the game save and continued the game on ZSNES where I left off. Now I'm trying to get the updated save packed from ZSNES back on the SD card to continue from that point on my Wii. When I attempt to copy the save off the SD card I get "the data may not have been copied".

To rule out ZSNES as being the cause I re-packed the unpacked save and that gave me the same error. I backed up the original save from the Wii and that copies fine. It seems that the re-packing doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong? Is this even doable? (My Wii isn't hacked,... will this only worked on a hacked wii?)

If your Wii isn't hacked how did you get ahold of your keys? Without them you can't recrypt the file when you repack it and it won't work...

man i really hope you guys can help me out here...i am at my wits end! i've read so many places on the internet but i am having no luck. i am trying to copy my save file from monster hunter tri that i have from dolphin, over to my wii. i cannot seem to find a way to copy this save file over at all. ive tried using the fe100 program thing, but when i try to unpack the data.bin file, i get the error "unpacking failed: read file header". im pretty new to any sort of modding of the wii and anything that goes with it, and honestly i feel like this is all way over my head. i am knowledgeable with computers though, so i can follow directions if anyone can help me. thank you guys in advance

Try to make a dump of the new savegame on the wii with savegame manager. Then have a look at the file and path, then go to your nand in dolphin, find the file, rename it and put it in the dump location of savegame manager. Then try to restore it. Not really sure if that will work or not, but work a try. That is what I did with my zelda save from a nand dump.

 

[chipsdeluxe1986]

thanks for the speedy reply. the problem with this particular game's save file, is that when i dumped the savegame using savegame manager on the wii, i got, instead of where "data.bin" would be, i got a folder saying "00010000524d4845" then inside that was a folder saying "nocopy" and a "banner.bin" file. inside of the "nocopy" folder, i get the following files: data01, data02, data03, data04, data05, network, and system. i tried finding the file through dolphin like you had said, but the only bin file i have is the banner file, so i tried that. i got the same error about "read file header".

Based on the info provided in this thread: http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=22522
I'd presume that you'd need to-
- use the latest version of dolphin to export the save (data.bin) to SD card
- use the Wii's System Menu to copy/move the save from SD card to Wii

If the original system menu doesn't allow you to copy that particular protected save, I'd suggest trying to copy it over using GeckoOS. GeckoOS has an option to temporarily turn off the copy protection checks to allow copying after a reboot or something.

I find it strange that you couldn't use FE100 to unpack MH3's save, as I seem to remember unpacking my own save using FE100 before. My save was made by the Wii, though. Maybe data.bin made by Dolphin is indeed different from the same file made by the Wii?

oh wow...okay in a whole new serious situation right now. i decided that since i didnt have priiloader installed, i should probably go ahead and do that. so i installed it, went fine. problem is, i had downloaded a priiloader based off of preloader v.3 or something...it was old, and i didnt have the hack file that went with it, so i went into the priiloader through homebrew channel, uninstalled, and then deleted the priiloader folder from my sd card. now, whenever i try to start up my usb loader gx, i get an error that says "exception (dsi) occurred" and after that is a whole bunch of code....i dont know what on earth happened, but now im scared to touch anything. i installed another priiloader that seems to be working okay like it should, just usb loader gx is giving me a whole host of issues. please any help would be appreciated greatly!

 

[chipsdeluxe1986]

oh and i am using the latest version of dolphin by the way. when i have dolphin open and i have the list of my games, i see monster hunter tri there, and i right click and select the option of "export wii save". it ALWAYS fails. the only way i can get to the data.bin file at all is by manually finding it in the folder on my computer. i tried to just put that file system onto the sd card and copy from the sd card to the system itself, but the save file just showed up as a question mark and said "this save file may not have copied" or something to that effect.

 

[leic7]

Sounds like something's up with your save file on Dolphin. Have you experimented with a new save from a different game on Dolphin to see if it's an isolated problem?

 

[chipsdeluxe1986]

just tried it with smash bros brawl, exported fine as a data.bin file. both games had started out being played on dolphin, didnt import any saves or anything like that. so yeah its just happening with the monster hunter save
