I believe it's because of a limitation where SGM cannot copy from SD to Wii NAND unless there is already an existing savegame in Wii NAND. i.e SGM cannot create from scratch a savegame file in NAND, it can only overwrite an existing one.
This is a pretty big limitation, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this, or please suggest an alternative savegame manager that does not have this limitation.
I notice a lot of bugs with SGM beta version which make me scared it's going to corrupt something
edit: it seems writing to Wii NAND is risky business, so probably safer not to be creating new data in there.
I guess SGM is more useful for backing up your saves in case your Wii has a hardware failure. Then on your replacement Wii you would at least have the ability of restoring them, albeit painstakingly. But the process of backing them up to SD is fast (batch copy) so it's still very nice to have I guess

Hey guys I have 2 problems with savegame manager gx.
Problem 1: Whenever I have a USB device in my Wii while loading up the application, I get stuck at initializing system, but the moment I take out the USB it unfreezes and loads into the menu. On a side note, I tried the WAD version to see if that would work, but it takes me back to the system menu after a few seconds. Don't know if it's a cIOS problem, but I have the latest version of cIOS 249. I tried turning on use IOS 58 from the SaveGame Manager Gx settings, but that also doesn't work because of problem 2.
Problem 2: The app won't save any of my settings. I have to set custom paths each time I boot it up to reroute to my SD card from USB 8 because it's unable to automatically detect my SD card for some reason. This application is very useful and its hard to find an alternative, but an update to fix some of the quirks would be greatly appreciated(yes I am using rev 127).

I installed d2x cIOS following this guide, and formatted my USB drive using Wii Backup Manager, and it works for me.
Might be worth running SysCheck to confirm you have those exact 3 cIOS's installed.
My USB stick got corrupted the other day and I had to reformat it again, since then SaveGame Manager GX Beta always freezes on "Loading cIOS249". If I unplug the stick SaveGame Manager GX Beta starts without problems, with the stick plugged in it always freezes at "Loading cIOS249".
I have SaveGame Manager GX Beta from here, on the credits page it says Rev76 IOS249 (Rev6553[the rest is cut off by the screen] and (d2x v10beta52 base5[the rest is cut off by the screen]. I installed cIOS following wiki.guide maybe two months ago.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
