I couldn't find a guide how to dump the saves from a real GameCube memory card. Would it be a good idea to create one? I just used [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM GCMM] and it can do a raw dump and save it in a file format that can be read by Dolphin! It can do individual GCI save extraction/restoration, batch GCI save extractions/restoration, and raw dump/restoration! The down side is that an SDHC card is needed because I remember this app not working on my 1GB SD card as I tried this app on my 32GB SDHC card. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 07:50, 28 April 2015 (CEST) | I couldn't find a guide how to dump the saves from a real GameCube memory card.

Extend Guide To Compress GCMs/ISOs?
Should the guide be extended (as an optional step) to compress GCMs/ISOs using GCMUtility? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 07:50, 28 April 2015 (CEST)
- I recall the shrinking performed by that tool caused problems for a sub-set of titles, though I can't remember the details. Kolano (talk) 08:53, 28 April 2015 (CEST)
