This ELF allows you to copy a Gamecube save file from the front SD slot to either your Slot A or Slot B Memory card.
Note: This program will crash after the save has been copied, however it will work. Use this program at your own risk.
Requirements
- SD Card
- Homebrew channel
- .GCI save file
- Gamecube controller
- SD Reader (for computer)
What To Do
1. Download whatever .GCI file you want (You can find many on GameFAQs.com under "saves").
2. Rename the GCI file something all-capitalized with only one or two characters in the filename.
For example, if the downloaded GCI file is something like "save_data.GCI", rename it to "SD.GCI". Notice the two-character filename and the capitalized name and extention.
3. Make a folder in the ROOT of your SD card called "gc_saves".
4. Move the GCI file into the new gc_saves folder. (Make sure there's only one GCI file at a time).
5. Place the included "sd2gc" folder into your apps directory in your SD card.
6. Run the application through the Homebrew Channel.
The program will ask to move the data into either Slot A or Slot B, which can be selected through the Gamecube controller's A and B buttons, respectively.
It will confirm the request, then move the data.
If eventually you get a lot of stuck data on your screen for more than 15 seconds, the operation was successful and you must restart your Wii.
If you get the error "error: f_stat() failed :/", you probably didn't rename the file correctly. Go back to Step 2.

Notes
"USB Memory Adapter Save" saves should always be .GCI. If you see a save you want that is a .SAV file, there are working converters around.
FAQ
Q: I did rename my GCI file, but I still get "error: f_stat() failed :/".
A: Try another save, that one may be corrupted.
Q: It still has the error.
A: Make sure you don't have a corrosponding save file already on your GC memory card. For example, trying to copy over Animal Crossing data to a card with Animal Crossing data already on it may result in an error.
Q: I downloaded a save file, but it's a .SAV, not .GCI.
A: Gamecube Saver only works with GCI files, so look online for a SAV to GCI converter.
