Why didn't you use the search feature to look for your answer? This question has been asked to death. Anybody with an IQ greater than 100 should be capable of using the forum's search tool.

This isn't my first rodeo kid, i'm a member at plenty of other forums and there's always someone like you around. I've seen the same questions asked hundreds of times and never once have I responded with "use the search option" If you don't care to respond, or it bothers you, please just ignore it and save everyone the ignorance.

Hope they come out with some kind of patch for this to work. I just picked up a 2GB flash drive today. Don't see why they made it like this to begin with.

Actually, 100 is giving some people a little too much credit (not refering to anyone in particular, just 100 is on the upper scale)

Don't bother. It won't work with your Wii.
