Save Game Installer

How do I work this application? i don't understand the Wiki for the app so i'm asking it here. I've downloaded a saved game from a website, so do I just drag the file in the save game installer directory and run it on Homebrew? Also what files do the saves have to be?

Why can't you just copy from the Wii Menu?

Because some save files are locked, and can't be installed using Wii Menu (i.e Smash Bros)

Kezza826, be sure the save files are compatible with the installer.

I thought that all savefiles could copy to the wii just not from it

nope, the no copy flag goes both ways

Kezza: preloader has hack that will remove the no copy flag. you could try that.

Well, I just tried running the app (save installer) and it isn't showing up on the Homebrew menu. What do I do?=S

Do I put the extractor and the installer inside the apps directory or do I have to put them in a folder?

So this is less of "how do I use the app?" and instead its really "how do I get it to show up on the HBC?"
Hm...
Topic moved to Getting Started.

Yeah, but it's feedback/support of the app so technically it should be in the Homebrew Applications topic

No because you didn't run the app...

No, because you can't even get the app to appear in the HBC. Thats a universal problem, thus this topic is for the getting started section. Hell, I even stickied an FAQ in this section of the forums detailing how to get apps to appear. If you had a specific problem with only this application then your topic could stay in homebrew applications.

I've got it to appear, It just won't run properly! You mods think you know stuff but you don't.

And you know more? Solve the problem yourself.

In what format?

Savegame extractor and installer copy the whole savegame file structure to an SD-Card
(to a folder called wiisaves/(Title ID))

So what did you say after this that would let me know you even got the thing to appear...?

And now to more thoroughly reply to this:

And if it matters, I wrote a ton of what is in the WiiBrew glossary. So yup, I know nothing at all.
