Hi, I have an idea for an app, However I don’t have the skills needed to code it. I am an experienced coder but the last time I did any C programming was on a 64 bit processor (just a little old). So I need someone to help me. My idea is an app (which will be installable as a channel) that can dump saved game data over a network rather than too the SD card. However I would like it to be controlled mainly by the PC. So here is what I have in mind. When launched the following things would happen, in this order: 1 - wii connects to the network and puts out a list of all possible saved data for dumping. 2 - Pc reads that list and displays it on screen 3 - User selects which saved Data to be dumped, which is sent back to the wii 4 - Wii starts dump process over the network 5 - User at PC selects a save destination. I would also like the ability to restore saved data. I can make the computer side of this program in a matter of hours. I am also able to make any graphics needed for the Wii side, since I presume it would need a menu to select ether Dump or Restore saved data. Thanks for your help. PS sorry if this is in the wrong place, I didn’t really think it belonged in coding.

Ftp suggestion is nice I think you can use it at least to get saves. Transferring to wii with ftpii needs added work, it can't write do nandfs... also one need a bit of more work to deal with the restrictions imposed on savefiles (needs researching)

What I had originally devised was to use wiiload feature of HBC, so that,

1. PC tool sends the wii server program to homebrew channel.
2. Server starts listening and responds to simple requests from pc program like listing saves, exporting, importing saves...]]> I.R.on Ideas, requestsTue, 28 Dec 2010 13:02:50 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62334#msg-62334 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62334#msg-62334 htaed Ideas, requestsMon, 22 Nov 2010 17:02:22 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62293#msg-62293 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62293#msg-62293 SifJar Ideas, requestsSun, 21 Nov 2010 14:13:25 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62279#msg-62279 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62279#msg-62279 bg4545 Ideas, requestsSun, 21 Nov 2010 03:01:53 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62276#msg-62276 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62276#msg-62276 giantpune Ideas, requestsSun, 21 Nov 2010 02:16:57 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62175#msg-62175 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62175,62175#msg-62175
