Changing the Save Filename

It's recommended to change the save filename of your mod, so your mod's saves don't interfere with another mod's saves.

Requirements

 * Any text editor
 * ASCII string to hex converter (Use this website here)
 * Method of testing your edits in-game:
 * Wii Console Method
 * Dolphin Method

Step 1
Go to the string to hex converter website. Make sure the optional delimiter string box is empty (by clicking on the box and hitting the backspace key on the keyboard). Put the name you want in the ASCII string input box, it has to be 7 characters long, not more, or less, since the game overwrites every character in the original save file name it uses. And don't add the  extension at the end of the name.

As an example, we'll use the text  (without quotes), for the name. Click the convert button on the website, and you should see the hex values in the hex output box, then copy the hex values.

Step 2
Open the  file with the XML or text editor. Find this line: to ensure that your saves are directed to the SD or USB Device and not the Wii or Wii U System Memory.

Afterwards, find these lines:

Paste the hex string output into all the  attributes. The changes should now look like this:

Step 3
Save the  file. Now delete the  folder on the root of your SD or USB Device. Make sure to backup the  folder first before deleting it from your SD or USB Device.

Step 4
Launch NewerSMBW up. When it prompts you that the save file was created, click OK.

When the screen goes black, turn off your Wii or Wii U, plug in the SD or USB Device into your computer. Open the  folder, and your save name change should appear.
