Saminthehat Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I've been looking for a 2GB SD card but there's no knowing whether it works with the Wii or not and I'm definately not chipping out £60 for an official one. Basically just post what SD card you have (Brand, model, capacity) and whether it works or not. A link would also be helpful. I'll start off... Play 1GB play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/912167/Play_com_1GB_SD_Card/Product.html
Cube Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 2GB Play.com, works fine. If they work in a PC, it's 99% likely it will work in the Wii (with the first update).
blender Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 all SD cards work because they conform to a standard (unless its a fake from ebay)
Saminthehat Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 So the thread's been proved pointless withing 7 minutes. lol, oh well, first thread I suppose.
Jasper Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 all SD cards work because they conform to a standard (unless its a fake from ebay) Every one up to 2Gb. If you go higher, forget it - Wii's not capable. SD cards are a worldwide standard, so any will be alright.
Cube Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 What to avoid: - High Capacity (over 2GB) - High Speed
Saminthehat Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah, I'm familiar with the whole 'SDHC' thing.
Guest Jordan Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Wii doesn't support even stardard SD cards over 2gb? Thats harsh...
Cube Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Wii doesn't support even stardard SD cards over 2gb? Thats harsh... No it doesn't. Just like most Digital Cameras, Camcorders, MP3 SD Players, etc.
Saminthehat Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 I think some companies (Sandisk etc.) are working on non-SDHC cards over 2GB. Dammit why can't the Wii support external HDDs!
Jasper Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Wii doesn't support even stardard SD cards over 2gb? Thats harsh... If they're above 2Gb, they're not standard right now. Check the wikipedia explaination of the system, wich is entirely 'switch' based, wich means it's limit is at 2Gb. After tha it's using two layers, and that's what the Wii isn't capable of reading.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I have one Lexar 1gb SD card, works like a charm. To connect it to my computer I have a SanDisk multireader. No problems whatsoever.
Kurtle Squad Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 What to avoid: - High Capacity (over 2GB) - High Speed Mine's a "Bytestor Hi-Speed 66X SD Card 1GB" and it works fine.
Dolphin Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I have this one and it works perfectly: http://www.alternate.nl/html/productDetails.html?artno=IMBR21
Link83 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 What to avoid: - High Capacity (over 2GB) - High Speed So does anyone know if Sandisk Extreme III 2GB SD cards work ok with the Wii?
ZeldaFreak Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Well I must say nintendo should of let you use any size SD card.
Cube Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Well I must say nintendo should of let you use any size SD card. They let you use any size SD card that meets the industry standard...
blender Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I understand that the SD standard was for upto 2gb SDHC is the standard for over 2gb SD cards over 2gb arent standard and will have poor compatibilty I want ninty to release a USB card reader for all cards
Saminthehat Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong but essentially the only thing that SD cards and SDHC cards have in common is form factor. Don't get the two mixed up!
Isindil Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 1GB and 2GB plain SanDisk, works fine. 256MB Microdia XtraPlus, works fine.
ZeldaFreak Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 They let you use any size SD card that meets the industry standard... Well I use a 4Gb card that I imported to work with my kodak camera, works a treat shame it doesn't work with the wii though.
Link83 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Does no-one know if Sandisk Extreme III 2GB SD cards work ok with the Wii?
blender Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I love the way SD cards are so cheap how £10-£20 I reckon in a year or two we may have games delivered on memory cards. That would open up all sorts of possibilities for games. Can only think of championship manage right now or karaoke.., actually thats a crap idea.
Emasher Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 get the smallest one you can find i have a 16 mb for wii saves and it works fine i don't recomend a san disk because there ever so slightly thicker that the rest and hard to get out of the wii though they do work just fine
blender Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 get the smallest one you can find i have a 16 mb for wii saves and it works fine i don't recomend a san disk because there ever so slightly thicker that the rest and hard to get out of the wii though they do work just fine why bother then if you have internal memory to use. (unless transporting I guess_
