How to Use the WiiMedia Savegame

At times, saved games can be almost as important as the games themselves. Losing your saves can cause you to lose interest in a game altogether, or at least temporarily. If you game on the Nintendo Wii, the WiiMedia Savegame Manager can spare you the agony of losing all of your progress and being forced to start your games anew. Using the WiiMedia Savegame Manager, you can backup your saves, restore lost save files and upload your saved game data online.

  Insert your Wii's SD card into the SD card slot on your computer. If your computer isn't equipped with an SD card slot, use an universal serial bus (USB) card reader -- insert the SD card into the USB card reader, then plug the reader into a USB port on your computer.
