Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess up

while the most important ones like Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart and Animal Crossing were not able to trasnfer over probably because Nintendo encoded something to stop people from bringing their completed saves over to their friends.

Those games you mentioned all use the Wi-Fi connection. This is considered to be the reason, why the savegames have a no-copy-flag.

I don't get it.

I forgot to mention: one could use [wiibrew.org] (or Gecko OS, if it still works, I am not sure)


bushing: what don't you get?

What does Wi-Fi have to do with copying savegames?

Friendcodes and things like that are part of the savegame.
So far every game that has WiFi sets the flags to not move or copy savegames.

Because of that people consider WiFi to be the reason.

The only minor flaw is, that the developers could have set the flag only for the parts of the savegames, that matter for online gaming. (see VC-games: savegames can be copied, savestaes can't)
