SD Card

[Stuzz78]

I've read you can watch movies from the SD card. I read it in a Tips and Tricks thread (probably on this forum, could have been another tho).

AFAIK VC games are locked to the Wii they were downloaded on, and all you can do with an SD card at this stage is either watch movies, or temporarly store VC games if you run out of room on the internal storage for more. You have to copy the VC game back to the internal storage tho to play them again.

Welcome to wiichat and enjoy your stay. Happy gaming.
I have a 2GB Kingston SD card which you can buy from Amazon.co.uk for less than £10.00. Thats a great deal and it works brilliantly.

What Kind Is It? Is It A Micro/Mini? Cause That Won't Work... It Has TO Be A Standard-Sized SD Card.

Do you think the Wii SD reader would recognize a 4GB SD card? I was scoping these out.

According to Nintendo, the Wii only recognizes SD cards with 2 GB capacity or less. So, a 4GB wouldnt work (supposedly). I'm not about to try though

i read somewhere that the wii can read upto 8GB cards

 

[dreamcastninja]

so is it possible to download vc games from the internet somewhere if they have figured that out, copy them to an sd card and then run em on your console?

No, unfortunately, VC games are tied to the console they were downloaded on. You can copy it onto the SD card, but it will only work on the same console that it was copied from.

@ lilg: No, only 2 GB and less will work, read from Nintendo here: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/sdCards.jsp#purchase
Its the first bullet point, and reads:

Not all SD Cards are compatible with the Wii console. Please read the following:


The Wii console is only compatible with SD Cards that are 2 GB (Gigabyte) or less. Cards with a capacity higher than 2 GB will likely not work with the Wii console.

Yes, I've tried a 512MB SD card from my camera and it works just fine. As others have mentioned, any standard SD card will work (up to 2GB) on the Wii.
