For some reason my Wii won't read my SD card, it says something like "The device inserted into the SD card slot cannot be used", anyone know any solutions?
Try a different sd card your may not be compatible with the wii.

Where does it say this? After you try running a program? How big is the sd card?

Nevermind. Actually I have no idea what it is. Partitioned my drive to 64gb for the first partition, the rest (~42Gb) on the other partition. Now CFG USB Loader reads it just fine.

Thanks a lot for this. For the longest time I was undecided as to whether or not I wanted to modify my Wii, but this was extremely helpful. Thanks a million! :biggrin:

Thanks for the guide. I have been watching for a good priced wii to pop up so I can buy it and do this.

Quick question on SD cards.

My plan was to buy a card like this

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Class-Memory-SDSDX-128G-X46/dp/B00720TE1M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1368973285&sr=8-3&keywords=sd card 128 gb

and use it for the modding process and then later fill it with games so that I can avoid having a HDD plugged in at all times.

Will this work?

You need to use a non sdhc memory card (<4gb) for the modding process.

Thanks for the reply.

So after the initial modding, would I be able to swap out the smaller sd card for something like what I posted above, filled with games?

Are there files that would be on the initial modding sd card that are required to run the system?

For the mod you will need a smaller sd card, I believe everything for sdafter would work from an sdhc card, but don't quote me on that. The cheaper and simpler way is to use a usb drive.

Well, I have other files in the root of my hard drive, could that make a difference?
If there is a problem with my drive and cIOS, why is it only my flash drive that works? Is it because it only allows flash drives and no hard drives? Or is it that particular hard drive?

Thanks
Yea I have been all over the net trying to get Homebrew on my Wii and came across this site, anyway I have 4-5 different SD cards and trying to install homebrew or get Letterbomb to work Any Helpful hints??

If you update to 4.3 you would lose the softmod. There is a way to play them from a HDD but I don't remember how since it's been a good 6 years since I have touched my wii
