So I'm trying to add normal Wii hacks to vWii mode but I cannot. I'm hoping its not a hardware issue but I think it is.

I have a 2gb microsd card that I normally use when I hack Wii's. When inserted in the Wii U it "dings" as though its found but when I try to copy Indiana Pwns, it says the device cannot be used.

Now when I plug in a 4gb or 8gb SD card (non-micro) the SD "ding" goes crazy, just like inserted - removed over and over.

I'm not sure where to go from here...anyone got any ideas? The memory cards are recognized in a regular Wii. I was going to try to do a transfer with my baby's Wii and see if that would move the hacked save file over but I cannot get the Wii U to use my SD cards!

 

thats what im afraid of! oh well, got it really cheap. like didn't cost a dime cheap, just trades

not like i don't have plenty of wii's in the house, i got 4.

 

Have you perhaps tried another small <2GB memory card to see if it'd work?

 

i dont have any regular sd cards smaller than 4gb, only micro sd.

i don't think this is the issue though as the microsd in the adapter works great in all of my wii's and my pc's. its never been an issue and still isn't...only when its in the wii u. i tried different microsd adapters as well.

its just weird that the "insert-removed" cycle doesn't happen with the 2gb only with the sdhc cards. the wii u in vwii mode should be able to use the larger capacity cards right?

 

but i refer back to my point of the Wii menu thinking the SDHC cards are being inserted and removed over and over. That behavior should not occur regardless of homebrew or exploit being used.

If I boot up my vWii mode, insert a 4gb SDHC card it does this. If I do the same but used the 2gb microSD then its fine but it won't read/write to it.


as i typed this i just realized i have a 256MB card staring me in the face. off to test.

 

try reformatting the card. here is a link for that. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/

 

The wii will make a comment cause it can sense the card.... the -GAME- cannot.

Get a fricken 8 dollar 1 gig SD card and be done with it... Seriously.

 

Well its not modded yet so nintendo will fix it. you say it dings over and over when you insert a sdhc card somethings messed up with it. I use a 16gb sdhc card and it works fine. Send it back make them fix it.
