NOTICE

This homebrew application makes permanent changes to the Wii's NAND, thus, this application should be used with caution. It is recommended to have a NAND backup with either BootMii as boot2 or Priiloader with BootMii as IOS installed before proceeding with the usage of this application.

SaveGame Manager GX allows you to extract/install SaveGames and Miis from/to your Wii; data.bin files not supported. It allows savegames to be copied from the Wii to an SD card, including savegames that cannot normally be copied from the system menu. It is a modification of the Savegame Manager from Waninkoko. Unlike Savegame Manager, Savegame Manager GX has a wii-like user interface.

How to use

Run the application and select the save you would like to copy to or from your Wii.

• Note: This app requires cIOS 249 revision 9 or higher; Or IOS58 installed.

• A save game must already exist on the Wii to restore saved games. Play the game once and create a save file before restoring a save game using installer mode.

WARNING: Old Saves extracted with SaveGame Manager GX are not supported anymore If you want to support old saves:

• create a file named "banner.bin.sgmgx_index"
• open this file and write inside "banner.bin"
• put this file on your SD in the same folder of your banner file:

       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/banner.bin
       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/banner.bin.sgmgx_index
       ...

• repeat for each file:

       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/01.dat
       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/01.dat.sgmgx_index
       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/PROFILE
       /savegames/00010000xxxxxxxx/PROFILE.sgmgx_index
       ...

Take care to name correctly the file (respect case) in your .sgmgx_index file cause the wii will use this to create the file on the nand with the good character case!!!
