RD hard mode unlock

[Galap]

I'd like to play Radiant Dawn on hard mode, but I don't want to have to play it on normal mode first.

Is it possible to put a save that has unlocked HM on an SD card and use that to start HM? If so where could I find such a file, and how do I transfer it correctly?

I'm playing on a WiiU if that makes any difference.

No clue if it's possible (I've personally never been able to do that, also on a Wii U). But there are plenty of save files with HM unlocked on GameFAQs, so look there, and see if you have any better luck than me.

I have figured out how to do it:

 

1: create a save when starting up the game.

2: using the wii data menu, transfer that save to the SD card and erase it from the console. doing it this way creates the proper directories on the SD card.

3: download one of the GameFAQs saves, put the SD card in the computer. the wii save data should be in a directory it has created for itself called 'private'. go all the way into it, and you should find a file called "data.bin". replace that with the donwloaded save file and rename that to "data.bin".

4: put the SD card back into the wii and using the wii data menu (not the SD card menu; it will not show up there), copy the save back from the SD card to the wii. When you start RD, the downloaded save should be in there.

 

I did this on a WiiU, but it should be the same on a regular Wii.
