I'm trying to get my head around this...

When installing WiiWare wads I'm getting a 'system memory full' mssg. Now, I've previously moved most WiiWare channels over to my SD so I can't figure out why my NAND would be full, already.

I do have a bunch of save game files, and the Internet Channel, along with 5 WiiWare titles which themselves total 1020 blocks.

Does this sound reasonable?

yoiks!

 

Use sneek or triiforce baby

 

man, choo guyz rock.
I'll read up on triiforce first.

 

tell me how the wii memory can be full already without being a pirate and i wont laugh my ass off with you

 

Touché

 

i have my wii for about 5-6 months now, i have a few good games (and therefor saves on my wii) , and like 15 VC+wiiware shit (bought! i dont pirate kthxbye) + a few homebrew channels (not forwarders kthxbye)

i still fail to see the nand getting full that quickly without pirating.


that, and op said "...nand be full, already" meaning he/she/it didn't have the wii very long and already being full. do tell me , without being a rich mofo , how the nand can get full that quickly without pirating

thats right, you can't.


yes the nand can get full easily and that is why the SD menu was made, but not THAT QUICK WITHOUT PIRATING.


EDIT @ post above : 200MB for sys menu alone?!
hahahahahaha give me a break. my up to date wii nand only uses 40MB for everything that aren't titles or tickets. + maybe

 

and that would be found where?
and afaik it only saves the ticket on the nand so it can decrypt the stuff on the SD

EDIT: also, i took a look. it looks like not many wiiware games are > n64 roms

 

most of my wiiware games were 30/35MB max.
yes 10 wiiware games would fill it up
but my ass that you'll install 10 wiiware games in like...2 days or something

i think you all fail to see the point im trying to make

EDIT: ow and 10 games that you would actually buy within what, a week?
go calculate the money needed AND see if there actually are that many wiiware games you would want within your region

 

have fun paying 100-150€ in 2 days to get the nand full
and then the wii itself comes

350 - 400€

and then a few games (lets say 5)
5*60 = 300

so thats 650 - 700€

are you going to pay that in 2 days?

see where im going with this?

unless OP was rich i highly doubt he/she/it got the nand full in a short amount of time without pirating


as i said, you can easily get the nand full, but not that fast without pirating

 

I got a launch wii, and it took until just before the advent of wad-installs, so roughly 8-9 months (right?), for me to fill my Wii.
I bought 4 n64 titles, and 4 other titles, and the internet channel, and a bunch of savegames from my 10-11 retail games.

However, if I had had just one of the BIG SAVE FILE titles (at the time there was only about 2, now theres roughly 14 that exceed 100 blocks) than I probably would have hit ("full") sooner.

but actually, wii's are easy to find for ~160$, 3 cards would get you what I mentioned above (about 65$) + 1 BIG SAVE FILE GAME (~30$) = just over $250, I know a lot of avid gamers would spend that on a copy of Sin & Punishment alone, so definitely on a wii and several games.

edit: not to mention that this was before wiiware came out, and wiiware games are often slightly cheaper than n64 titles, but 90% of wiiware is bigger than most of the first few N64 titles to trickle out. (approx 40 mb vs 14-22mb)
