No, that's the benefit of WiiConnect 24.

i have an SD card but how do i put it on my computer?

Get a card reader. They're wicked cheap and just plug into a USB port.

someone did mention that, but yeah it was late in the thread :lol:

what do you mean by memory stick?? also cant you plug ur cam into the back of the wii where the usb ports are i havnt ever tried but it looks possible

memory stick is sony's format for memory cards in camera, camcorders, etc. they don't use SD or anything they use their own format and it is called Memory Stick, (see also Memory Stick Pro Duo and Memory Stick Micro.)

also cant you plug ur cam into the back of the wii where the usb ports are i havnt ever tried but it looks possible

as far as i know that is not possible. the usb ports can't be used for flash drives, or data transfer. All they can be used for as far as i know, are fans, chargers, lan adaptor, drive dr(3rd party do-dad that connects your wii to your comp for data streaming, don't ask me if it works though, i haven't heard anything about it), and basically as a USB power source for things like ipods, phones and a few other items.




edit: forgot to put keyboards in the section of crap that works with the USB ports.

No, I didn't forget. But wireless isn't necessary if you're using the SD card to transfer pictures, which is by-far the simplest and best method.

also cant you plug ur cam into the back of the wii where the usb ports are i havnt ever tried but it looks possible

Just because it has USB ports doesn't mean every possible USB device is supported. Right now, the only things that work are USB keyboards and the USB network adapter. Well, fans too but all they're doing is tapping into the voltage coming off the port.

congrats on your wii

 

[bonguet]

yea but... on the manual it says do not connect thing to the wii that we didn't say you could or w/e

 

[sremick]

The Wii manual was designed for when the Wii first came out. There have been developments since. There are network adapters and USB keyboards that now work since a recent firmware update, and of course the fans which just tap the USB power.
