Ahh, after years (ok maybe not years, but a corrupted card and must frustration), I FINALLY finished Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on the GameCube. Mainly because my daughter has been bugging me to finish it. It was not the best game, being my first pla ythrough of it but it is done. (Could they have made those ending sequences ANY longer? I was falling asleep.)

Now the reason she was bugging me is of course we got a Wii last year, it was the family Holiday present. Of course since she is a Fire Emblem Addict we have Radiant Dawn. So I go to port the Path of Radiance data to Radiant Dawn. I follow the onscreen instructions and lo and behold, frozen Wii at the port point. Sigh, technology is great when it works. So first has anyone successfully ported the game over and if so, did anyone have troubles and if so what did you do to overcome them?

Now for the woe part. I figure MAYBE branches etc are the issue. So I try to copy the game onto another card on the cube (figuring I will go back to the other game I started to get better a score on one card but delete all but the completed game on the the other card. It is not able to be copied. OK that just pisses me off. Since I LOST all saved games to a bad card before, I try to keep backups of each game on a secondary card. I know the cube is dead, but am beginning to see why.

I think it's great that you have a daughter that is actively encouraging you to play your games. What a great kid!

Sorry, I can't help with your memory card woes. Maybe instead of transferring the save you could save onto it from the game itself. Good luck.

That stinks. Sorry to hear that.

Isn't having kids the reason we keep playing games?
Or is it, that playing games is the reason we keep having kids?

'fraid I know nothing about those systems, so am of little use - however, I did find this quote online ...

Q: "Is it possible to download a gamecube game file (ie;resident evil 4) and put it on the wii somehow to play in gamecube mode on wii?"
A: "No. Gamecube games require Gamecube memory cards, and the Wii does not allow for the transfer of saves between Gamecube memory cards and its internal memory or SD card. The only way you can do this, as with the Gamecube, would be to buy a special Gamecube memory card that has a USB port on the back (which I believe was only released in mainland Asia)."

Might I just add ... Google.

It happens to us all. I have lost games on my computer because of drive failure... and on memory cards as well. So sorry to hear about your troubles.

Just realized I never put the solution here.. Seems that you cannot have any game that is saved in easy mode on the card. It will NOT allow you to copy the game blocks onto another. Ok that is just kinda lame. SO I just went and deleted the easy branches and Presto it copies onto my back up and is able to be ported over to the Wii. Now the rant moves to the old style I would RTFM if there were any entries in FM about this! DOCUMENTATION IS NECESSARY WRITE IT AND INCLUDE IT PUBLISHERS.
