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.

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.

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.

That's the same thing.

Silly person.

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?

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.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
