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...

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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 all SD cards work because they conform to a standard (unless its a fake from ebay) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 What to avoid: - High Capacity (over 2GB) - High Speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2007 Wii doesn't support even stardard SD cards over 2gb? Thats harsh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2007 1GB and 2GB plain SanDisk, works fine. 256MB Microdia XtraPlus, works fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
