Hacking Micro SD card in homebrew channel??

[rockstar99]

I recently got a sandisk 1 gb microsd card for my wii formatted it to fat32 and placed wads n apps in it but when i put it in the wii none of the files appear.

PS im using a micro sd adapter

 

[Dr.Tenma]

Weird, i do use a micro sd card with adaptator, and everything works !
Format it in FAT16 maybe..Idk tbh.

 

[rockstar99]

im using homebrew channel beta 8 if it helps

Maybe upgrade your homebrew channel..Or try fat16. My suggestion if you upgrade first.

Like Dr.Tenma mentioned, try formatting to FAT16.

Also Try using the new homebrew channel just in case.

Also try your microSD card elsewhere to make sure it's working.

yeah, mine works np.

i swap it back and forth with my cell

yar just format it to FAT as its known in vista or xp

It's most probably a formatting issue. Try formatting to either FAT or FAT16. My Kingston 1gb MicroSD is formatted to FAT and it works fine.

I'm using a micro sd card too, and i have had a problem with it, with any homebrew channel version. I know it's a stupid question, but you know what to do to get the files show up in the HBC or do you use it the 1st time?

You could try to format the card correctly(windows doesn't do it):

i set it up with a miniSD card in an adapter, 1gb. using latest homebrew channel (1.01)

now using 4gb SDHC microsd using adapter, works fine too, apart from scummvm

I would say it was fat32 thats causing it, fat16 is what i'm using and is fine. i dont think you would be running into SDHC issues with a card of 1gb.

I also have a micro SD from Sandisk. And it is a FAT32, the newest homebrew channel and i format it with Windows Vista! And do you have your apps in the map apps. And named with boot.dol?

 

[Xras]

Just format the card to FAT16 (Called FAT on Vista)

I use a microSD with adapter and works perfectly.

for hbc: have you checked the name of the file which your placed in the apps folder?
the name must be boot.elf, bzw boot.dol (since hbc 9 only dol). if they have a other name, they won't appear in the hbc

besides try to copy a savegame or something else to your sd-card (from wii to sd), to check whether the sd-card work in your wii.
