The Wii U Transfer Tool is a channel that provides ability to copy your Wii content (including save data, purchased content from Wii Shop and all WiiWare and Virtual Console downloaded titles) to a Wii U system through the use of a SD card and Wii System Transfer.
Emulation Information
Network Certificates Required
Wii U Transfer Tool has functionalities that requires proper network certificates extracted from an IOS to work. Refer to the network guide for more information.
Missing Game List Banner
Certain Wii apps and homebrew apps never create savefiles that are handled by the emulated Wii's internal savefile lists, so no banners are ever generated for them in Dolphin.
Problems
Transfer Tool / Wii Shop Channel Country Mismatch
As of 5.0-21088, during the network check after the first 2 guide prompts, the app can show the message "The country setting for this console differs from when you last connected to the Wii Shop Channel from this console. (…)".
For players who've never visited Wii Shop Channel within Dolphin, or who've received a Dolphin error about device credentials (due to the certificate reasons mentioned above) and thus never reached the Wii Shop Channel, the country will effectively be none, making the Transfer Tool unable to proceed further without replacing the entire Dolphin NAND.
Configuration
No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this channel.

Test Entries | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
3.0-712 | Windows 8 | Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 | Freezes on boot | mbc07 |
5.0-2874 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.4 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M | Works, stops on the "Verifying SD Card" screen with error 389005 | mbc07 |
5.0-21088 | Windows 11 | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 | Got to the network check after the "Have you made these preparations?" prompt, during which it claims a country mismatch between Transfer Tool and Wii Shop Channel, very likely due to the certificate reasons mentioned above. | DandelionSprout |
