a single FAT32 partition would work for your purpose, it's actually what ModMii recommends

Doesn't Devolution have better compatibility than DIOS-MIOS though? Considering he actually owns the physical discs, I see no reason to use DIOS-MIOS.

dios mios compatability list
devolution compatibility list

Comparing the two isn't that easy because they're both still in development. In other words: things may be better than it is depicted in those lists.

Still...given the choice, I'd go with devolution. dios mios still has that streaming audio bug (on the games that have it) and devolution doesn't overwrite the MIOS. OH, and I haven't thoroughly compared memory card emulation, but devolution seems to be more stable than NMM (as said: I haven't checked dios mios enough to know if it still has some issues with savegames on a drive).

Sorry for the delay... I got the portable HDD and a 1GB microSD card. Do I need more than 1GB? I see the "COPY_TO_SD" folder is about 260MB. Also, after done all that, will I be able to run NTSC games as well, or just PAL from whatever region?
Thanks again for the help and I´m sure there will be more questions!

I tried with the 1GB card... copied the contents of "COPY_TO_SD" to the root of the SD card, turned Wii on, went to yesterday, but there´s no "pink Bomb icon". There´s the normal Wii envelope...

it will be "yesterday" as at whatever date you created the exploit. So if you ran ModMii a on December 3rd, it would have been created with a date of December 2

 

[MaxiMii]

ohhhh... I see! It is on Nov 28th... found it.

 

[MaxiMii]

ok.... I think everything went alright! I already got a couple of my games on the HDD and it seems to be working. Will try to transfer the others on the next couple of days. So now I can go buy other games without having to worry about it not running!

 

[MaxiMii]

Update: Got all the games on the HDD and everything seems to be working fine! The only thing I didn´t do was the "file clean up". I will do that at some point but I´m afraid to mess with something that is working. Thanks to everyone that helped me, I really appreciate that!

sorry to bump this thread, but now I keep getting a message that the Wii´s memory is full and that I need to "move some stuff to the SD", otherwise I won´t be able to save "my progress". I didn´t find the "File Clean Up Tool" so I never got around to do that after ModMii. What should I do?

go to the wii menu, data management, channels, and look for anything with a lot of blocks that you can either delete or move to the sd card to free up space
