This ELF allows you to copy a Gamecube save file from the front SD slot to either your Slot A or Slot B Memory card.
Note: This program will crash after the save has been copied, however it will work. Use this program at your own risk.
User guide
Requirements:
- SD Card.
- Homebrew Channel.
- .GCI save file.
- GameCube controller.
- SD Reader (for computer).
How to use:
- Download whatever .GCI file you want (you can find many on GameFAQs.com under "saves").
- Rename the GCI file something all-capitalized with only one or two characters in the filename.
- For example, if the downloaded GCI file is something like "save_data.GCI", rename it to "SD.GCI".
- Notice the two-character filename and the capitalized name and extention.
- Make a folder in the ROOT of your SD card called "gc_saves".
- Move the GCI file into the new gc_saves folder. (Make sure there's only one GCI file at a time).
- Place the included "sd2gc" folder into your apps directory in your SD card.
- Run the application through the Homebrew Channel.
- The program will ask to move the data into either Slot A or Slot B, which can be selected through the Gamecube controller's A and B buttons, respectively. It will confirm the request, then move the data.
If eventually you get a lot of stuck data on your screen for more than 15 seconds, the operation was successful and you must restart your Wii.
If you get the error "error: f_stat() failed :/", you probably didn't rename the .GCI file correctly.
Notes: "USB Memory Adapter Save" saves should always be .GCI. If you see a save you want that is a .SAV file, there are working converters around.
FAQ
Q. I did rename my GCI file, but I still get "error: f_stat() failed :/".
Try another save, that one may be corrupted.
Q. It still has the error.
Make sure you don't have a corrosponding save file already on your GC memory card.
For example, trying to copy over Animal Crossing data to a card with Animal Crossing data already on it may result in an error.
Q. I downloaded a save file, but it's a .SAV, not .GCI.
Gamecube Saver only works with GCI files, so look online for a SAV to GCI converter.
