Hardware 32GB Wii - SDHC Possible with Firmware Update?

[WarmWoollySheep]

32GB Wii sure sounds nice. Especially since the competition from Sony & MS are sporting about the same amount of space. That would allow us to have game demos, downloadable media, faster loading games, pretty much every perk that other consoles get from storage.

So would it be possible to upgrade Wii's normal SD drive to SDHC with a firmware update? That would solve every Wii owner's biggest complaint. Flash cards have done it, even R4 claims it's possible.

The answer is yes...but Nintendo would have to be totally dedicated on it as their current SD setup is SO FREAKING SLOW so they would basically have to rewrite their entire SD library to support it.

Good news. To help confirm, I found that Casio added SDHC to a camera via firmware upgrade,

With Nintendo focusing on Wii Ware next year, a storage solution must be in the works. I can't imagine it being anything else.
