Hacking SD Card Question

[Squall3]

Hello everyone,
I currently have Wii U which I plan to softmod. However I learned that this requires a non HC SD card.
After a search the only one I found in my house is an old 32MB one.

Question is, will that suffice?
Is that large enough for all the files/dumps?

Thank you!

Hello, if you mean't 32mb for installing the homebrew channel on the vWii with a save game exploit, then yes. But for other usages like homerew, files etc. then no, because 32mb is nowadays really not enough. 2gb cards are recommended.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I meant solely for installing the HBC and dumping the NAND / saving the keys.

I looked around and saw that the files for the hack aren't that big, but what about the dumps? How large are they?

Oh. for dumping nand, forget it, a nand dump is 528 mb.
You better get a new sd card.

Got it.
I'll just head over tomorrow and look for a 2gb one.

Thanks again!

You need an SD (no HC/XC) for running the Brawl exploit and install HBC, after that you can use HC/XC cards.

You should be able to install HBC with your sd card(32mb).
Then after HBC is installed(it's what allows you to use sdhc/usb etc) immediately swap sd cards for bigger SDHC card and backup NAND(before installing or adding ANYTHING ELSE).

Oh thanks guys!
You saved me a couple of bucks (Shekels, in my case =P)

Umm, another small (and last!) question in that matter..
Are there any problems in using a microSD card inside a SD adapter?
