No, you can't do that. The data downloaded to your SD card is intrinsically linked to the Wii that downloaded the title. Otherwise people could just distribute the game for free (or well the cost of having an SD card) by downloading it to multiple SD cards.

To my understanding, pirates really figured out how to crack and modify the wii hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a hacked wii can't give the data to a regular/non hacked wii though unlike with say F-zero GX save data. For reference, F-zero GX save data is normally uncopyable unless a action replay code is used, in which case it can be copied to any memory card.

Dandy Druid Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Wait how do we add Wii Points? I don't see the menu to do it. Or am I just that blind? EDIT: We can't add them anymore. Looks like I won't be downloading anything. Bummer. Edited January 30, 2019 by Dandy Druid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently adding points was turned off all the way back in March 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectorcopter Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I had 5200 Wii Points and bought some stuff. I still have 1100 points left. Anything important I should buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything important I should buy? You probably want to net the exclusives that stand a chance of being lost forevermore, but I think that might be just enough points to get Sin and Punishment, although it's also available on the EShop (and maybe it's 1200). Don't get Final Fantasy IV the after Years though. It might look like it's only 800 points, but like 80% of the game is DLC (which sounds extravagant but it basically means it's just the price of a full game and by and large it is worth it).

Hectorcopter Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ended up getting Dr. Mario Online Rx since it was a WiiWare exclusive. I’m satisfied with my purchases. Rather unfortunate a lot of games will be lost to time now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Strategist Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Y'know, this made me realize that there's probably some people that somewhere in the future will be interested in Sonic 4 Episode 1 with the Wii's audio files for it since it sounded different to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions due to restrictive hardware. There's probably someone that's downloaded those files already though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
