After some checks, this channel will ask you to insert the SD Card which was prepared on the destination Wii U console, and then it'll throw an error 389005. It's currently unknown if a RAW dump of a prepared Wii U SD Card would allow further progress with the transfer.

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

Error 204701

This channel boots and loads fine, however, all you'll get is an error 204701. Fixed in 5.0-2874.

An error has occurred

Stops working nearly instantly after starting with a generic "An error has occurred" message. See issue 10985. Started happening in 5.0-3454 and was fixed in 5.0-11432.

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.
