I did a little experimenting with the rom. I after you apply the patch to it it 
has a .ext.z64 extention to it. I removed the .ext part but it still wont save 
anything. That is if you make the Native Saves Device the SD card. But if you 
have a GC Memory card it saves the games fine. Still cant Save State though.

Hello, I am the creator of the Missing Stars hack. Nothing has been changed in 
the save routines, nor does the game uses a different EEPROM size. Seems to 
work fine on other emulators.

In order to save on WII64, you have to open up the rom in a hex editor (Hex 
Workshop works well). In the top right box, you will see "M64: 
TheMissingStars". Replace the : with something like _. The save doesn't like 
the colon. Then just save.

It works better if you overwrite "M64:" with "SM64" instead of 
inserting/deleting anything (no errors when loaded in Wii64).
