The first letter indicates the system (R for Wii, N for N64), the second letter is the first letter of the game name (such as M for Mario), the third letter is the fourth letter of the name (such as I for Mar io) and the last letter of the game code is the region code (such as E for English or J for Japanese). If you want to geek out for the sake of geeking out, you can also use a simple algorithm to figure out which game is which. How do you decode that mess? The easiest way is to consult a list of Wii game codes, such as this massive list at WiiSave. If this is your first transfer you’ll only see one directory, if you’ve copied multiple game saves you’ll have multiple and confusingly named directories within the /title/ folder, like the screenshot below: Here is where all of the saved games you’ve transferred to the SD card are located. Plug in the SD card and navigate to the directory /private/wii/title/. We’re using a PC running Windows 7 for this tutorial but any computer that can read the FAT file system will work just fine. When it’s done copying, eject your SD card from the Wii and take it over to your computer. Select any game you want using the Wiimote and then press the Copy button in the dialog box that pops up, like so: Right now you’re looking at all the Wii game saves stored on the Wii’s internal memory.
