Just remember "not" to format to FAT32
Um... FAT only supports partitions up to 2GB.... so this won't work.
FAT aka FAT 16 works on devices up to 4GB.
You're sadly mistaken...
It supports up to 4GB per FILE, not PARTITION.
Partition size is, in fact, 2GB maximum.

They'll first enable sdhc support, and they'll let you play VC games off the sd card. I don't see why they wouldn't, because you can't play games off of it (yet). I really don't see Nintendo making an external hard drive, but that's just my opinion
teq said:farfet said:wait, so could nintendo, with a firmware update, enable the wii to support sdhc?
Yes, but I doubt they would want to.

Actually, this is not the optimal solution, seeing as many users would prefer not to have to purchase additional hardware.
They're more likely going to work out a way to reduce the size of VC titles and stream them.
jesterscourt said:What? The VC titles (for the most part) aren't that large to begin with. If the hardware just needs the software update to support the bigger cards, then that's probably the easiest solution,they will just limit what can be run off of the card or something. Even though broadband is fairly common throughout the US, I think there would be a bit of an uproar if it needed you to redownload the titles everytime you played them. Maybe work similar to the Steam client for updates, but definately have an offline mode.
lostsoul5673 said:Yeah, but some DS flashcarts have SDHC support, and if you want emulators use a DS, but the Wii is a better solution.
What the fuck was Nintendo thinking, they should have SDHC support!!!
