You can download any game with the desired level and powers and then your on your way to playing the Save file.

Here is how to hack the Wii Games save files

After downloading a save, you'll either get a plain old data.bin or a zipped file.

If you have a data.bin, you have to place it in a folder structure on your SD card like so: \private\wii\title\GAME\data.bin (replacing GAME with it's corresponding game code from the game code list).

If you get a zipped file, it most likely has all of it's folder structure in tact, so all you have to do is extract it to your SD card so it shows up like the above folder structure.

Once you have the file in place on your SD card, you can then put the SD card in to your Wii and go to your saved game(s) on your SD card (Wii Options > Data Management > Save Data > Wii > SD card tab), select the saved game that you want and select Copy. Keep in mind that if you already have a save on your Wii that you're trying to replace, it wont overwrite it, so you'll have to backup your save, then delete it off your Wii internal memory to be able to transfer the new one on.

FREE Wii Remote Jacket Accessory Offer

Recently a very good friend of mine told me about a mishap that involved his 8 year old son, a Wii remote and a large, expensive flat-screen LCD TV. Needless to say he wasn't happy. And it turns out he's not alone. Several people have reported problems with the Wii remotes, and as my girl friend recently got one I've also been a little concerned. Fortunately Nintendo is a great company. They have invented a rubber non-slip jacket for Wii remotes, and they're giving them away free to current owners of Wii systems.

Nintendo is now including the Wii Remote Jacket for the Wii Remotes in all new hardware being shipped. For Wii owners who purchased their systems prior to this addition, they are offering to send free Wii Remote Jackets for their existing Wii Remotes. If you would like to request a Wii Remote Jacket, please start by completing the information form on the website.

Once your Wii Remote Jacket has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email from Nintendo. After that point, it may still take another 5 to 10 days for delivery depending on your location. Please do not contact Nintendo regarding your Wii Remote Jacket order until after that time period has passed.

You can also call Nintendo customer service at 1- 866-431-8367. I'm putting my call in first thing in the morning. I just can't get the picture of a smashed widescreen TV out of my head!

How to Copy or Backup Wii Games

Here is a step-by-step tutorial to explain the process to Copy / Burn Wii Games

FIRST OF ALL: Yes, to play any backups you must have a modchip installed. And no, there's no softmod out yet and there will most likely never be one.

1) EXTRACT THE IMAGE

First thing to do after you completed your torrent is a) seed and b) extracting the image by double clicking the *.r00 file in your torrents folder.

If you got your file associations right, winrar - or your personal favorite unrar program - will open.

Now click "extract to" and specify the folder where you want your image to be. Keep in mind that the most wii images are about 4.7GB in size and that you need that same amount of space on your windows partition if you're extracting from one partition to the other.

Press "OK" to start the extraction. It'll take 10 or more minutes, as always patience is a virtue.

After the process you're done extracting your image.

If the extracted file is an *.iso, skip the next part and see part 3. If your extracted file is a raw *.wii, *.wod or *.god file keep reading the next part.


2) UNSCRAMBLE THE RAW IMAGE

Download unscrambler 04 from ingenieria-inversa.cl and extract it. copy the file "unscrambler.exe" into the very folder you keep your raw image in.

Then left-click your Windows start button in the lower left corner of your screen and click "Run". A window opens, type 'command'.

Navigate to the folder containing your raw image and "unscrambler.exe". In that folder, type

'unscrambler.exe raw-image.wii "image.iso"'

replacing raw-image.wii with the filename of your raw image and image.iso with any name you want your new *.iso to have.

Again this process takes some time, wait for the message "image successfully unscrambled" and close the window by typing "exit". Now the desired *.iso should be in the same folder.


3) BURN THE IMAGE

You can burn the *.iso with your favorite DVD-burner of course, i am using Nero Burning Rom in this example. I also recommend the use of verbatim dvd-r.

Open Nero and go to "File" > "Open" or press Ctrl+O.

Navigate to your *.iso and click "Open".

The "Burn Compilation" dialog opens. Set the write speed to 4x, if you run into any problems (disc write- or read-errors) even to 2x to get the best results. Now press "Burn" to start the burn process.

Burning at slow speed takes some time, but you should know the deal by know.

Wait for "Burn process complete", click "OK" and throw the DVD into your Wii. You should see the Game's logo in the upper left corner of your TV screen.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST BURNED YOUR FIRST Wii GAME!

Don't delete the extracted and/or unscrambled image right away, test if the game really runs before you have to start all over again. Enjoy
