    I had a softmodded wii and ran my games off a hard-drive. I modded the wii using the Indiana Jones method. I got most of the way through Skyward sword on the modded wii, and would like to know if the save file is likely on the SD card I used to mod the wii, or on my external hard drive. I don't have the wii anymore, but I still have the hard drive. Would it be possible to extract that save file? If so, could I then use it to finish the game using the Dolphin PC emulator?

    Thanks in Advance.

    The save-file won't be on the hdd, & I think it's unlikely to be on the sd card. Afaik, things like this are stored on the Wii's internal memory, I may be wrong...maybe someone else can clarify?

    Yep its held on the internal memory.

    There are savegame managers out there that can make a copy of the save but i dont think it is compatable with Dolphin

    Wii savestates is prob your only hope, incase you ever get another Wii. Be a shame to watch the end of such a fine game on YT :(

    I got a little sick of it tbh. Game was full of filler. Cheers for that link.

    I bought the limited edition with gold wiimote. I havn't opened it yet, might keep it sealed & sell it in about 40 years & retire to my own private island :rolleyes::p
