Wii became absurdly slow

[MedAnimations]

Kirby's Return to Dreamland would crash after selecting a save file on Wiiflow, so I checked GBATemp and found out it's because of metafortress, and all I needed to do was to put a file in the root of my SD card which did nothing at all. After a while, I reread the topic and found out I need to enable patches, so I redownloaded the file and replaced the one already on my SD card with, but it made things worse. Now when I launch WiiFlow, it would only show 2 games with their cover, (I have 10+ games on the card) and the rest have covers with a sandisk SD card and text that says "Loading". When I click on any of these games, the image gets stuck an I have to hard reboot the Wii. WiiFlow also became absurdly slow while navigating between menus (homebrew apps, games) and even between settings pages. I got stuck for a while downloading covers for the games, then realising I couldn't exit the menu, and even when I rebooted all of the covers were gone.
btw I have an ADATA micro SD with 128 gigs of storage.

Is your game "Kirby 's return to the Dreamland" crash when you select the save data ?

I just got so mad at myself because I was experiencing a similar issue, not game related but it was with everything homebrew related and even some system menu stuff being very slow. I don't know if it's already common knowledge but there's a switch on the side of pretty much all SD cards????????? I was so angry when I found out it was as simple of a solution as the flip of a switch. I am 25 and I was today years old when I learned about the write protection switch on a SD card.

Wait till you find out that this switch does absolutely nothing on the SD and is just a mechanical way of asking the SD reader politely to not write. This is like the breakable tabs on music and VHS cassettes and the slider on 3.5" floppy disks.

SD cards themselves can be write protected as well on electronic level (if this is active the SD card itself will reject any write attempts regardless of the position of the flimsy slider -- possible on micro SD as well)

But it sounds strange that the read-only switch would cause slowdowns. Good to know.

Also i just solved the issue a few minutes ago, it was only a matter of reinstalling cIOS.

Cuz Kirby's return to the Dreamland can't be running on the sd but you can play it on USB/hhd and if you don't have USB you can get a sd card reader USB and Play it!
