UNLIMITED STORAGE! - WarioWare DIY Showcase

ANNOTATIONS /really/ should be on!
--------------------
Check it out! You can backup as many microgames as you like! How? Watch the video, fella! (or lady~)

You'll need:
WarioWare DIY Showcase (for the Wii)
An SD Card
A computer (how would you watch this without one?)
A method of reading/writing files from the SD card on PC

******************************
Short Story on the process:
*******************************
*Put the SD Card in the Wii with preferably no Wii data, or at the least, no DIY data.

*Move/Copy the DIY SAVE data onto the SD card. (NOT the channel itself!)

*Copy the file to PC. You want the WA4E folder, but you may as well copy all the other ones so you don't have to mess with it later. If you have other save files for other games you don't want to mess with, fine. Copy the WA4E folder, but when sending back to the Wii, make sure the folder structure appears like this:
private---wii---title---WA4E----data.bin

*That's pretty much it. Just copy as much as you want back and forth. Whee~!

*Watch video for more info!

You know you can also move the channel to the computer and upload to internet

Dumb from Nintendo

It won't work on any console but your own, however; more specifically, it won't work on consoles that haven't had a copy of their own installed on their console yet (i.e. purchased).

Now, if you want to store the DS data, it's a little trickier. Mainly because you need to buy a physical converter to copy the DS data... and I don't even know if a NAND-based DS card will work with it! ...Unless, the Korg DS-10 uses a NAND card... then it does work... but if it's THIS game you're using, you might as well just transfer the microgames to the Wii like this.

Yeah, besides staying out of that territory, I was hoping to find a method that most anyone can do without special equipment. (Pretty much /everyone/ these days has an SD card. If not, it's easily obtainable, aye?)

[autosaver]

Thought this was obvious, was looking for something else then storing the save file somewhere else. :p

[WhiteKhakis]

Ah, like... modifying the game so you can make use of more Wii memory to store games? That'd be mighty tricky, if not near-impossible, not to mention a bit risky. Much prefer the non-invasive route, myself! (As would Nintendo!)

Bummer you didn't get anything out of this, but I'm sure there are lots'a people that would like to know how to go about storing more games in this way.

I know this is off topic but can you send me some DIY games through showcase? my wii number is 7972313912835732

[mrmario174]

cant you put "double storage"(8 shelves) by putting 1 diffrent DIY file on your wii then putting 1 diffrent file on th SD card to be a little more organized instead of going abck and forth between the computer and the wii (not to be spammish)

gears of wario

[ExplosiveBoring]

First of all, that is an awesome version of the warioware theme, where did you get it?

Also, this will also erase your friends codes, correct?

what are the golden games at 5:03?

[GFREX]

Thanks for this tip! Now I can collect as many games as I desire!

[tkwtube01]

Well, it's much easier to obtain than an Action Replay Media Edition... but like I said, I don't know if it works with NAND cards anyway. And you can't even use the AR Media Edition properly unless you have a microSD card! WarioWare DIY is lucky because you can actually interchange Wii and DS data... not so on most other games... Boy what I wouldn't have done if the KORG DS-10 did that!
