Seen a 16 GB A-DATA SDHC card on Newegg.ca for 35.99, I thought about getting a 32GB card but I figure since it's more then buying two 16GB cards, I am going to get a single A-DATA as 16GB's will hold loads of Rock Band songs and whatnot.
It wont load any rock band songs. SDHC only works for the main menu for now. Rock band was made with only SD in mind.
So why can I load all my Guitar Hero World Tour songs directly off a standard slow SD card? That makes no fricking sense if I can't load Rock Band DLC off a memory card yet it is possible with Guitar Hero.
SD is not the same as SDHC.
Also, the SD card support is built into each game. If the game was not meant to access SDHC card, you won't be able to access it. It's like ExciteTruck that can play MP3 files from the SD card, but the updated Photo Channel only does play AAC file.
The drivers version for all the Wii devices are in each IOS. If a game use a specific IOS, it will only be able to access the features from that IOS (that's what I understood from
HackMii)
QUOTE
There are 23 IOS versions installed with current updates (this is also wasting the scarce 512MB internal memory!).
Any new feature that they want to use in older games would have to be retroactively and individually added to each version, and it could create compatibility concerns because the interfaces with IOS functions aren’t all that stable either. Just doing these updates would cost them an immense amount of effort - it took them well over half a year to fix the fakesigning exploit and ship the IOS updates for all 23 versions, and that’s a minor update that can’t possibly affect games.
Every time they’ve added a new feature (for example, the recent Wii Speak support, or USB keyboard support, or USB mouse support)
they’ve just made a new fork of IOS for it. And IOS is limited to what it already handles - the ARM CPU that it runs on has no access to the graphics capabilities of the Wii (nor is it fast enough anyway - it has no floating point capability and it is a lot slower than the Broadway), so they can’t add any user-interface features to it.
