Managing SD Cards on the Wii

[philr359]

i theory my idea works, but im sure it wont be that easy. the Wii probably checks to make sure your roms are legal: similar to downloading mp3s from iTunes.

This will be broken in time, allowing for very easy homebrew

my method works well though cause you dont have to spend an extra 50 bucks for a SD card reader

ya i dont have a camera.. i sure hope it doesnt check. i got plenty of roms just waiting.. i mean *cough*roms*cough*

Hoping this isnt to old for me to bump . Quick question though.

Waited in line for 12 hours to get a Wii lol, was going to get ps3 but there were way to many people...

Anyway, got it all hooked up and noticed that there was a SD slot. I was like COOL SD, I have one for my Digi camcorder. Poped that sucker in and nothing, nada, zip... lol, its acting like its not even there. I read that you might need to update your console before you can manage your SD cards? Shouldent my wii atleast be recognizing it being there though? Its a 2gb Sandisk SD card, works fine in my Laptop(have a SD slot for a card). I can transfer files and everything, tried formatting it, making folders, nothing.

Just thought I'd ask, do I need to update before I can have acess to SD cards for my WII?
