I can always upload the save if someone else wants to take a stab at this. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm doing here. Figured my saves might be salvageable since the data is there when looking at the hex code.

Depending on the structure of the save, you can download someone else's save and try to replace it with the corrupted save data by comparing them in the Hex editor. I recommend using Dolphin for this. Depending on your experience level, you will have to repeat the process several times until you cr...

So this spiraled into a project at this point just to see if this is even possible at this point. I had several save files corrupt on a 1019 block memory card, happened in both a Gamecube and a Wii. Some of those files got deleted, but fortunately I could recover them from a raw dump of the mem card...

I have to admit I thought you had SDML or a version of Action Replay that allowed loading DOL files from SD, but you're saying you've actually got an older version where you've had to run sdpatch + enter the 29 line code? That would explain a lot if so. Yep. I didn't see much about the 1.14 version...

I'm not sure. I've been copying over whatever the guides said to from the Swiss and GBI downloads.

Update: I was able to run everything using the SD Load method. GBI is acting a little funky when forced to run in 240p, but I'll keep playing with it.

Check your sd card adapter, if the SD card goes all the way in (i've seen people with an sd card chunk stuck inside the slot that prevented any card to be inserted properly; twice.). I have got a pair of more recent WiiSDs that are a little darker gray than the lighter gray of the earlier ones, the...

Beware that in 2GB, you can have both Standard and HC cards, from 1GB downwards, you should then be sure what you really have is a non-HC card. Memcard-SD adapters are wired such a way that the card presence pin for the GC is shorted regardless of the SD card presence in the SD slot, this is a desi...

i've used AR/SDML without official memory card/SD card just fine. it is possible that it just doesnt like your brand of cards, i believe even swiss can be a little picky at times. at the very least it shouldnt hang when running the software without SD card/storage inserted I've found that it hangs ...

I own two WiiSDs and it looks like both of them hang. I just tried formatting a micro 2gb SD card and got nothing. Is there a file or something I'm missing so the AR disc can communicate properly with the SD card? I assumed at first that the hanging was due to the software looking for specific files...

Should I try another card, then? I've been formatting the same 2gig regular SD card over and over to no avail and I'm not sure what else I'm missing about the process. I even tried using the formatter off of sdcard.org.

Thank you for the feedback.

Hello all, Recently I picked up an Action Replay disc so I could launch homebrew, namely Swiss and the Game Boy Interface. However, when booting up the AR disc with my SD card in slot B, the disc hangs indefinitely. I've waited for it to respond, but nothing happens until I unplug the SD card adapte...
