Yes, doesn't matter unless you're backing up discs, in which case you probably want 32 GB.

You can't. Just use it for system memory.

Theres this one for $12 with 32 gb. Thats useful if you want to install big games, but 16 is useful as well

I personally own a 256GB card with only 20GBs free. I don't recall how much it was, but it's worked perfectly. it's a PNY card.

I'll just think this over, but thanks anyways!

You can use a 2gb sd card. emuNAND is not required to have CFW features.

You're both forgetting that games need to be installed from the SD card, and those can be over 20GB in space. So a 32GB minimum is recommended.

32GB minimum for installing games, the files to install need to be stored on SD and they can be over 20GB in size.

I said specifically that 32 GB would only matter if you're backing up your discs. If you're only playing game mods or something then you'd probably only need 2 GB.

It's got nothing to do with backing up discs. Games downloaded with Wii U USB Helper etc. are the same.

Okay, backing up discs or pirating games. Happy?

I'm not forgetting that. Games aren't a requirement. He didn't ask what's needed to install CFW. Not whats recommended for games.

He obvously wants it for games, there's no other reason to install CFW.

I installed CFW for emulators. The Wii U in my room has only emulators and youtube/netflix. He said CFW, not games.

You don't need CFW to use emulators though. They will work just the same with the browser exploit or Haxchi.
