Since there doesn't appear to be a hard coded limit, I would guess the actual limit would be 2TB but the only way to know for sure would be to either reverse engineer the firmware or to build a sata hdd to sd adapter which currently don't exist.

Since the Wii U is capable of reading SD/SDHC/SDXC, I would assume the limit is as high as SDXC can go. When the Wii was announced, the only thing that stopped it from reading 4GB+ cards was the software couldn't read SDHC, they later patched this with 4.0 firmware...I would say you aren't going to have a problem with SD cards for the Wii U considering it can read SDXC cards and WHEN we get a full IOSU hack, people will favor external USB hard drives due to their cheaper costs per GB....(Sandisk has a 200GB card for $80 on Amazon right now...for $80, you can get at least 1TB if not more in an external hard drive

Dumb question. What program are you all using to format FAT32 and specify a 64kb cluster size?

Also, is that the best thing to do? 64kb cluster size instead of 32?

I think im blind sometimes. Thanks a ton!

I wonder if it would be worth it to compile speed and loading reports of different SD cards?

I am going to buy a larger SD card for my Wii.
Is there a max size? Does the class matter? Do both SDHC and SDXC cards work?

I am thinking of this 64Gb, Class 10, SDXC card from Kingston:

or even this 128gb, also Kingston

Click to expand...

That Kingston is the exact one I bought the other day & it works a treat!! I used fat32formatter to format to fat32 64 cluster, haven't had any issue with it at all.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
