First, as Tobias already stated, you need to decrypt the savegame, which can be done with the tool called “tachting” from here: http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/segher/wii.git

Then you can use the python script on your unencrypted savegame data, to convert this binary into a nice xml file –> http://code.google.com/p/wiifit/

I’ve begun hacking Wii Fit as well, to get the data out. I did get the data.bin file decrypted, so that I now have RPFitCap.dat, RPHealth.dat and RPWiiFit.dat. But parsing the files are not easy at all.

Have you had any further luck with this process? (you can email me if you want – I assume you can see my address)

That said, it does sound like a cool little project, and I do look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour appearing over the next little while. :)</p> I’m going to decline on this one I’m afraid Si – it really is the automation aspect of the WiiFit that I love, and unfortunately I don’t really have any spare time to be able to work on anything more than I already am right now.

Would you fancy teaming up to build something like this?
