2gb_memory_card.jpg





Since 2006, Nintendo has been offering a 512MB SD Memory Card for the Nintendo Wii. That was years ago. It's time for a bigger DS Memory Card from Nintendo. The 2GB Memory Card will be out the middle of this March in Japan. Pricing is listed as "open." So if you are one of those who only wants first party Nintendo goods, this one's for you.

Stupid, they released a 2GB for the Wii 2 years ago as well. Only n00bs buy those Nintendo branded cards for Wii. What Nintendo needs to introduce is SDHC support for the Wii and DSi.

SDHC is already supported by homebrew, so they have no excuse.

Just need that and a hard drive and the Wii could start kicking some real ass for once.

I mean, its not like hackers are gonna do much with it anyway. We are already getting the features we want on our own.
Besides, it would require a system menu update.

Though then again, games might have trouble reading SDHC.
Though update an IOS and they should act accordingly right?

Ya, no excuses. Nintendo is just lazy.

They need to include SDHC support. Nintendo! Wake up! This isn't 2000! Also, who would buy a Nintendo-Branded SD Card when you could get SD, even SDHC cards for way cheaper.

I don't care about what sized card they offer, SD, SDHC, doesn't matter.

What does matter is that they allow the Wii to read virtual console and wiiware games direct from SD. Until that happens, I don't care how big of an SD card the Wii supports, because size is useless without functionality.

They might be good for someone who collects Nintendo products.

Best Buy has 2GB SD cards in the Wii section that say "Wii" on them. It's marketting folks, some less informed people will buy them and pay the huge premium because it's an official Nintendo product. This is a money grabbing scheme, not some elaborate release plan.

Also Nintendo wouldn't support a SDHC card... don't games like Animal Crossing and Smash Bros. Brawl not support SDHC? We've proven that it can work with the hardware, but Nintendo is not goingto go back and make a patch for Excite Truck etc.

What kind of world do we live in, where you can pay less and get more, and pay more and get less. I'm referring of course to flashcarts, which are generally cheaper and give you more functionality options, and the Nintendo SD card, which costs more yet you cannot do all of the things that you can do on a flashcart.

Oh well, Pirates rule!

They'd be daft not to. Joe buys a DS, want a memory card with that? As people who are used to computers we forget that some people have absolutely no idea when it comes to memory cards, and with so many types, shapes and sizes out there the market is just plain confusing if you don't know what you're looking for. And many can't be bothered with the hassle of sorting it all out. It's a shame that they'll probably take advantage by slapping on a nasty price tag, but it makes perfect sense.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
