Hacking Lets make a list of BootMii Compatible SD and SDHC Cards

[ulm]

pqi 2GB sd installs, but won't boot BootMii. It also won't allow the installation log to be written after the install.

I'm Having trouble getting my Scandisk 2gb to work anyone know why I've seen a ton of people on here say it works, yet the wiibrew wiki says Bootmii has issues what gives?

Yea, but im trying to avoid spending money especially if this is suppose to work, I might get a new SD card anyway, but how much is the one you recommened?

Just bought a PNY 2GB MicroSD with Adaptor and im still getting that error wtf I formatted it to FAT32 and tried it right out of the box to. I don't get it!

Same For me ... Kodak 2gb SD doesn't work for me..

Lexar 1gb work 100%

Stonedge

That is strange, Kodak 2GB SD doesn't work for me. (It only works for install).

Kodak 2GB SD Card (No SDHC) - Install successfully, after install hackmii is unable to flush log and mount file system. No bootmii screen when rebooted with SD card in (FAT32).

HP SDHC 8GB card does not install bootmii using BannerBomb, but if the installed files are copied to it, it will work without problems.

8GB SDHC Card from Sandisk (class 2) works 100%

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

1gb Sandisk MicroSD works perfect
2gb Kingston MicroSD works perfect
4gb Kingston MicroSD works perfect

Im very lucky to have all my cards work

 

[Adr990]

2GB SanDisk Micro SD. 100% working.
4GB SanDisk Micro SD Class 2. 98% working. (Does start the NAND dump late, and dumps slow. but works fine next to that.)

 

[skagg]

Even though its listed as working,my sandisk 1gb micro would boot bootmii on startup,but would not allow nand backup(kept giving error through backup).
But my 1gb memorex had no probs at all 100%

 

[afdude]

just wanted to post up here with my findings as well.

I have a Kingston 512mb SD card that boots into bootmii instantaneously. The downside being of course not enough room to perform the nand dump. Good news is that i can use a 2 card method.

I use the 512 card to boot into bootmii, and then take that card out, insert my Kingston 2gb card. Then proceed to go into the nand dump and write it to the 2gb card. Voila perfect dump, no bad blocks! Safely stored away for backup.

The reason I had to go this route simply was because #1 the 512mb card is too small for the dump and #2 the 2gb wont boot, but works perfect in every other area.

So with that all said, im now happy as I feel alot more secure in messing about from here on out. Cheers.

SanDisk Ultra 2 - 4GB - 100%

List is a great idea! Good luck.

SanDisk Ultra 2 - 4GB - 100%

List is a great idea! Good luck.

What format type and cluster size did you use? I have this SD and it's not working for me!

 

[Senbonzaku101]

Kingston 2GB SD (non-micro) works fine.
This needs a Wiki similar to the loader and USB device compatibility lists.

PQI 8GB SDHC
- Bootmii doesn't boot from it.
- But if i run bootmii from IOS, i can save/read a nand backup on the sdhc

KINGSTON 2GB SD
- boots ok, saves/reads nand backup ok

 

[bnm81002]

I have a Kingston SDHC 8GB class 6 card that doesn't work, it works with the HBC but won't load into the Bootmii screen but I see the 4GB version of the SDHC card and it works fine, go figure

 

[sYndrome13]

- Veoh SDHC Class 6 - 8gb 100%

I have not been able to find this card for purchase online anywhere.

In fact, I have yet to read about any 8GB SDHC Class 6 card, micro or standard, that works 100% with the Wii and BootMii.

EDIT: I guess it's back to my 2GB SD card for now, which is a bummer. I was so excited about my $15 8GB SDHC Class 6 card and then I found out it won't work for the single purpose I bought it for.

 

[Shonk]

anyone got a 8 or 16 gig card fully working yet
or something that doesnt lockup the wii on boot

my 8gig transcend works fine for everything apart from boot2 bootmii
