Simple question involving Savegame Extractor and Savegame Installer

So, after extracting the savegame data from Brawl game, a folder is created in my SD card called "WIISAVES", containing another folder called "RSBP" (I'm in the UK)... this folder contains the following files:
ADVSV0.BIN
ADVSV1.BIN
AUTOSV0.BIN
AUTOSV1.BIN
BANNER.BIN
COLLECT.VFF
FILELIST.DAT
NET0.BIN
NET1.BIN
VC24PUBK.MOD

Firstly, what are all these? And secondly, and most importantly, I have a "data.bin" file on my computer containing save data from Brawl that I extracted about a year ago, before installing the current one, and I want to extract the current one, and re-install the original save. Where do I put this in my SD card? And how do I install it with Savegame Installer? Also, do I need to remove my existing Brawl save (the one I extracted) first?

I can't remember how I got the data.bin exactly, but it's definitely for Brawl since it was in a folder I copied called RSBP <_<

The "tl;dr" version of this post is where do I need to put the "data.bin" file I already have on my PC, in the SD card? And what are all the files that the extractor put in my SD Card as listed above?

Well, that post didn't really solve much, if that's what you mean :p
I assume someone knows what to do.

The files that you've mentioned are used with the Dolphin Emulator. They're also used for when you view your saved game data on your Wii; the game data icon, the memory it uses, etc..

When I extracted my game data for Kirby's Epic Yarn, I did get a bunch of JPEG images.

So how do I "install" this data.bin file I found on my PC? It's obviously from Brawl since for starters I had it in a RSBP folder, and I'm not totally stupid enough to put a non-Brawl file in a folder with the game's ID :p

The list of files you got from Savegame Extractor are used by Savegame Installer to, well, install the save onto a Wii (you MUST have an existing save on the Wii to begin with).

The data.bin is the file the Wii gives you when you move your save game from the Wii to the SD card.

But games that have Wi-Fi cannot have their saves transferred. THis means Mario Kart Wii, Brawl, etc, can NOT be transferred like that.

What I want to know is, if I have a data.bin file that I extracted from the game via Savegame Extractor or something, where does that data.bin file go? Does it go in where most savegames are, i.e. \private\wii\title\RSBP, or somewhere else?

My simple question, which is basically repeating this post...
WHERE do I put the data.bin on my SD card, to install it onto the Wii via Savegame Installer?
