No need to convert it, since converted gc games with script from url i showed here don't work that way: just make sure that .raw file just have the save of the game which you'll use for. For that, use built-in Dolphin emulator's Memory Card managment system to remove all saves that are inside it and just keep the save you need for converted gc game.
But when i've converted the game , how can i inject the Save too?

You won't convert game with save included, just the game. For instructions, check my message on this thread which have the instructions/steps for that.


Next time don't use camera's flash when taking photos, just use natural lightning instead.

Are you following the instructions from official wii/gc script converter thread?
I followed everything carefully and all conversions i did succeeded.

Within Wii U USB Helper you click a button to prepare your SD card for use with Nintendont, selct the game you wish to play, then browse to the gamecube iso file, which you have already downloaded, when prompted and it does the conversion to the format required for launching as a channel with WUP Installer.

Custom Firmware is required (cfw) and you need to use the correct region for your WiiU.

I have my gamecube games stored on sd card for use within Nintendont and I simply browse to the game I wish converted to a channel.

Working great here, but it is limited to the games that have been included. More are being added regularly.

Currently includes:-
Animal Crossing
Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
F-Zero GX
Kirby Air Ride
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Soul Calibur II
Star Fox Adventures
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee

Pikmin and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures were added today, but I haven' tried those yet or Baten Kaitos, which I think is the first 2 disc game to be included. It prompted for both discs and completed the conversion process so I am optimistic.

I will be surprised if Four Sword Adventures works, as I thought Nintendont didn't have GBA support, but I've been surprised before. :)

I'm no expert but it looks like a problem with Nintendont.

Have you downloaded and added Nintendont and the Nintendont forwarder, which are also included within the Wii U USB Helper list?

Also have you clicked the prepare my SD card button?

Does Nintendont work as a standalone app?

I installed my games on USB, and that message is about NAND. Maybe try installing to USB if that is an option for you?

This is amazing! Screw the vwii stuff.
I hope more games are added on the Helper though, I really wanna play Simpsons Hit and Run but I don't want to/can't hack my vwii.

OK, still thanks.
If I won't get any answer on those questions, I will try asking in the Wii U USB Helper thread
Have you solved for Nintendont with usb helper? Cause i install the entire gcube game converted by wii usb helper but in WiiU menu it runs the nintendont loader but doesn't fund any game!!!!

How do you process a two disc game? Do you highlight both in the pop up and drag and drop or one at a time? Trying to do MGS Twin Snakes and it never says 2 of 2.

    @BigOnYa, i don't think my parents will get me a pi
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can get older ones even like the pi 3,4 for cheap, but they don't play gamecube, Wii etc very well. Be warned they use a Linux os, which you need to load onto a micro SD card yourself. You can find pre built images like "retro-pie" online free tho which makes it easy to setup.
