blank slot in data management (save data), need to delete it somehow

[verbal moat]

edit: already fixed, had to format

i was just ignoring it since it wasnt causing too many problems aside from it crashing sometimes when i tried to exit the menu

but now i need to move saves to the sd card

selecting the sd card will crash the wii

already tried looking for suspicious titles or data in wii mod lite but they all look normal

looking at every single save file for corrupt data on dolphin will take way too long

and i dont really want to format unless absolutely necessary

[verbal moat]

(the nand check tool found some poopy data, but deleting them didnt fix it and the slot is still there)

[verbal moat]

probably a corrupt save file but where is it

the channels portion of data management works fine

[ornate kayak]

Wiiflow has been known to cause corruptions in certain save files

[ornate kayak]

Does hitting copy on one of the saves not work?

[verbal moat]

on the blank slot, no

[ornate kayak]

I mean for the non corrupt save files

[verbal moat]

lets see

i have no copy protection on

[woeful sedge]

So do you recommend USB Loader GX rather than WiiFlow?

[verbal moat]

copying smb2 to sd

button is blank but priiloader lets me click it anyway

data has been copied

it still crashes

[ornate kayak]

Its rare, usually

[woeful sedge]

Okay 👍

[ornate kayak]

Okay do that for every save on your Wii

(You may need to use save game manager GX for some games)

[verbal moat]

are we preparing for formatting

[ornate kayak]

yeah… it’s the only way unfortunately

[verbal moat]

rip

[ornate kayak]

You will probably have to reinstall Homebrew channel again. You can run the hackmii installer through priiloader

[verbal moat]

do i move every channel possible over to sd too

[ornate kayak]

Yeah I think it formats those too

[verbal moat]

ok

[ornate kayak]

I could be wrong

I’m guessing it would at least keep the nessesary stuff like the mii channel, photo channel, etc

[verbal moat]

will the wii let me move them back after formatting

[woeful sedge]

What if u just move the save files to sd

Drag the files to the desktop pf ur computer

[ornate kayak]

It should. And if not save game manager GX will

[woeful sedge]

The private file

[verbal moat]

the channels i mean

[ornate kayak]

Which channels are you transferring

[verbal moat]

everything

well, everything that could be copied/moved

[ornate kayak]

Like do you have any virtual console titles or anything that may require specific keys

[verbal moat]

i had some nes vc but i dont really play them

[ornate kayak]

You may just need to reinstall the wad with a wad manager

For some of the channels anyway

[crystal drum]

Why does the "selecting the SD card slot will crash the wii* sentence relate to a problem I have. I'll make a thread about it anyway

[verbal moat]

for me that only happened in the save data section

the channels section worked fine

[crystal drum]

Oh

[ornate kayak]

@verbal moat was this solved

[verbal moat]

yea

[ornate kayak]

aight we can close then

[verbal moat]

i forget we can close threads
