How to use your Loadiine saves with USB/NAND installed games

So I made this quick tutorial for injecting a Loadiine save file to Wii U memory using Saviine:

For the game Zelda TP HD (as an exemple):
-Install the game on your USB HDD using WUPInstaller
-Launch the game (important!) to create a save file to the Wii U memory.
-Quit the game
-On PC, download Saviine and start dump.bat (saviine1.1b\server\dump.bat) and close it just after. (It will create a folder saviine_root )
-In this "saviine_root" folder, create a "inject" folder. And inside this "inject" folder, create a new folder named with the title ID of your game. (For Zelda TP, I created a "00050000-1019E600" folder.)
So I have: saviine1.1b\server\saviine_root\inject\00050000-1019E600\

-Now inside of this "00050000-1019E600" folder, just copy your Loadiine save (must be "unique mode" and not "shared mode" )
For Zelda TP, I copy both "80000001" folder and "common" folder inside of the "00050000-1019E600" folder.

-On your Wii U, launch Saviine
-Enter your computer's IP address and press X to return to home menu
-On your PC, launch inject.bat
-On Wii U, launch your USB game
-On PC you have to choose your save to inject.
-Done :)

Hi everyone. I have a loadiine save for TMSFE (EUR) and now I am playing on a USA backup on usb. Saviine works, but fails at injecting, I thinkbecause the save is european and the game is USA. How can I convert this save?

if you use android, there's probably a FTP client for android, right?
You can use FTPiiU everywhere to read/write files to your console.

I tried that, but I must have done something wrong because Mario Kart 8 refused to see the save file and outright ignored the files, forcing me to start from scratch.

Weird, I tried Lost World again, but this time replacing my save file with the downloaded one without deleting beforehand and it stuck this time. I stopped doing it before hand because Mario Kart 8 had locked up on the splash screen after my FTP client botched the replacement.

Huh, it turns out that in order for the downloaded save file to stick, you need to overwrite your own files when FTPing. MiXplorer Beta craps out when overwriting several files, but X-plore does it faster and completes it. I managed to inject the BOTW save I had downloaded, as well as a Sonic Lost World save. Perhaps when I get my Y-cable for my Seagate hard drive (My household only allows so many things plugged in at once so I can't use a hard drive with external power) I'll try Mario Kart 8 again.

Edit: Decided instead to use the externally powered hard drive in exchange for just takijg a break when the Gamepad dies, and tried Mario Kart 8 again. Did a direct replace, and this time the save was accepted.

it's probably because replacing an existing file keeps its permission.
deleting and adding a new file has the permission reset, you need a FTP client which let you set the file permission (most of them should do it).
Like I said, you need to know the proper file permission for savegame files.

you could try 644 as permission value to set write value to owner (the console).
Owner : read/write
Group : read
world : read

0644 -rw-r--r--

by default it's probably set to 666 (read only) and the console can't open the file in write mode.

This tutorial pops up on the first search on GBAtemp en Google, but is is really outdated now because SaveMii Mod 5 can do this all on the Wii U self. So you don't need a PC for this or even any knowledge about the foldernames.

Unfortunately I was almost finished with setting up this method before I by coincidence discovered the great SaveMii tool. Hopefully SaveMii can be mentioned in the first post before others using this far more difficult method!

Sorry for my noob question but... how do i find my WiiU user ID ? I'd like to use my old Loadiine saves ("c" and "u" folders) .
Thanks !

Well, it can be usefull for other users: you can find your ID title using this page.
And/Or your user ID making a save of any game using the dumping section of the saviine tutorial (it will create folders named with your user ID and ID title)

Please do mention it in your op Keylogger if its better

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
