After many a request for how to do this, I am writing this as a little tour on how to convert your lovely Brawl photos from the Wii onto your computer.

Step 1: Download this zip file (called bin2jpg.zip) which contains the program for converting the .bin files to user readable .jpg s:



Step 2: Extract the zip file somewhere

Step 3: With the pictures copied onto an SD card, in the private\wii\app\RSBP\al\ directory, where you will find a .bin file named al_yymmdd_hhmm.bin where yymmdd_hhmm is the date you saved the screnshot. Copy these files into wherever you extracted the zip file.

Step 4: Run bin2jpgall.bat - This will run a script that will convert all your files to jpg.

Step 5: Upload the screenshots to somewhere like photobucket or imageshack, and show the world your brawl images.



Note about the jpg files

These files will come out at 640x480 regradless of whether the image is 4:3 or 16:9, if it is the latter, then you will have to manually resize it with an image editing software like GIMP. Also the outputted file should be about 800KB in size, if you find it is 40MB or something like that, then the conversion has failed and you cannot convert that image.

Also, the conversion process will create some other files during conversion (ending in .bin.out) these are just a byproduct of the conversion and can safely be deleted



Enjoy!

thanks does teh wii take memory card pro duo??? or like a camera SD card????

SD cards only

My xD card doesnt work coz it wont fit

my camera SD card is like half size so dunno if that will fit my dad has a porper one tho but i dont think the memory is that big

XD, make sure its not XD, as is DHRs, SD NOT XD

oh... i thought he was just making a face XD

Nah, XD is a type of memory. Fuji cameras tend to use it. It's the smallest (non-mini) type of memory. Wii takes SD only, and they're usually blue, and a similar shape to the Wii (rectangle with a corner missing). Most modern cameras use SD now, as do a lot of other portable devices (some MP3, phones etc), so it's quite likely you can find one in your house somewhere. Or buy one for a fiver online.

¬¬ i know what an SD card looks like mark

Can u connect the sd card 2 the computer using a digital camera if u dont hav an sd card slot?

thats what i said...

As long as it treats it like a drive (assigns it a letter) and not as a "camera" (via MTP) then yes

Woot, mine ass.... wait... that wont work

I dont have an SD card slot... OR a camera that takes SD cards
