So i recently hacked my Wii U (tiramisu on 5.5.5), and I was thinking about how I have this save of Mario Galaxy 2 from way back in the day on it (imported from my original wii). The copy i used as a kid belonged to family members who moved far away and lost contact with, so i was never able to finish it. Because the eShop is about to end card transactions soon, I was thinking of just buying it on VC and picking up from there, but i'm curious; if I got the game through something like Wii U USB Helper, would I be able to use my original save out the gate? Or would there be extra steps to make it possible? Would i have to install vWii and use a different method?

Did you play the game on the original Wii? If so I don't think it would. If it was on WIi Mode, I also doubt that, I tried using SaveMii WUT to import a VC save to the Wii U equivalent VC but you can't do that I think.

easiest way imo is to import the save the official way. I don't know if that has copy protection (don't think it does).

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
