One more note: In the zip folder you will notice a. The program won't dump a game if its rom is already present in the dumps folder. However, before you extract the game again be sure you delete the old rom from the "dumps" folder in your SD root. Just redump the game and it may resolve the issue. Just use that.īad dump - if a rom isn't working in your emulator/flash cart it may be a bad dump. Most games have a data management option in the in-game menu anyway. I had already backed up my save successfully so just to double-check I tried to restore the save and it worked fine.Īll that being said to say: I probably wouldn't bother using this to clear saves. I checked the cart and the save was gone. It appeared to have frozen so I powered off the Wii. Whenever you're done with all your tasks just do that to quit.Ĭlearing saves "works"(?) - When I tried clearing a save on a cart the program gave no indication that anything happened. I only have an official cable so I cannot test that.Ĭlosing the program - I've found that the only way to quit the program is to hold the Wii's power button until it shuts off. Third-party cables - I've read comments that people using unofficial GCN-to-GBA cables have difficulties with getting the utility to work. I ran into this with a couple of games and cleaning the carts fixed the connection. *If you get an error message saying it cannot detect the game, your cart may need to be cleaned. Files get placed in a new folder labelled "dumps" on your sd card root. Some of the larger games could take over twenty minutes to dump. Do note that transferring over a link cable is not the speediest method. Now you just follow on-screen instructions to extract whatever you want. The program will send some data to the GBA. If you don't already have the GBA turned on, do so now or when the on-screen prompt tells you to. With your SD card back in your Wii, boot the HomeBrew Channel and launch the program. In port two, connect your GBA using a GC-to-GBA link cable. You use it to operate commands on the program. Your SD card directory should look like this:Ĭode: Select all apps -> gba dumper -> boot.dolĬonnect your GameCube controller into controller port one.
Name it something like “gba dumper” or whatever helps you recognize it. Unzip the file and rename “linkcabledump_wii.dol” to “boot.dol” so your Wii can recognize it. Installation is pretty much the same as installing any other Wii emulators or utilities.ĭownload the latest version of the GBA dumper here. This is not necessarily the best/fastest method to back up your GBA content but it is the cheapest if you already have the required equipment laying around in your collection. In researching game archival methods I stumbled across this useful program that allows you to dump your GBA roms, save files, and GBA system BIOS using a Nintendo Wii.
