Hacking Lets make a list of BootMii Compatible SD and SDHC Cards

[PNo4]

Sandisk Ultra II - 1GB*
Sandisk - 2GB** - (if it boots to bootmii at all)
Viking - 256MB**
Viking - HighSpeed - 512MB**
Kingston Micro SD - 1GB**

* = (1-2 seconds boot time)
** = (10-12 second boot time)

Lexar 1gb Micro - WORKS 100%
Sandisk 1gb - WORKS 100%

 

[Shonk]

Transcend 8gb Class 6 SDHC
can backup fine to it
but cant boot into bootmii from it
also it locks up the wii on bootup 1 in 4 times or so


Sandisk 2gb Microsd

Seems fine so far fast into bootmii
backs up fine

 

[carbonyle]

Lexar 2GB SD Card: cannot run bootmii as boot2 but can be used for restormii
Kingston 2GB SD Card: everythings works, and fast
Panasonic 512MB SD Card: bootmii as boot2 is very slow to boot.

You should also specify the speeds(boot time) for BootMii.

Team SD 2G - Works but takes 20 secs to boot BootMii

Microcenter 2GB MicroSD card worked fine with BootMii, it did want to reformat the card to make the NAND backup, though.

SanDisk UltraII Mini SD 2GB (In SD Adapter) *Not Working*
Transcend Mini SD 1GB (In SD Adapter) *Not Working*


Going to have to buy a compatible non sdhc card i guess..

I updated the list, this turned out to be quite the list lol
I didn't expect the topic would get this far tbh

 

[cayspekko]

don't know if this was posted:
transcend 133x 2gb - installs fine, won't load bootmii

transcend 4gb microsd sdhc - work great instantaneous boot to bootmii

How about we let people post their file system and block size for their SD card. This is to see if there is any influence to bootmii regarding to how we formatt our SD card.

I'll start first, FAT32 with 4KB block size. No bootmii at startup.

What happens if you format the card with a sd card compatible filesystem?

all this hacking it sooooo confusing i dont understand anything

 

[duros]

For these two it might be the SD Adapter, what kind of Adapter is it?
SanDisk UltraII Mini SD 2GB (In SD Adapter) *Not Working*
Transcend Mini SD 1GB (In SD Adapter) *Not Working*

My bad,
SanDisk UltraII Mini SD 2GB (In Sandisk SD Adapter it came packaged with) *Does not load BootMii at startup* (NAND Backup works fine)
Transcend Mini SD 1GB (In Trancend SD Adapter it came packaged with) *Does not load BootMii at startup*

Looking for some different adapters, if i get different results.. (ie: successful) I will post them.

I try it, it won't work on my Wii. Bootmii apparently are very specific.

Any one know if the Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB works? I'm about to order that one. If it doesn't work then I'll just order the normal Sandisk 4GB Class 2 SDHC

1GB Kingston works, but is slow to boot
