I am trying to get 32GB microsd-HC card thru SD cart adapter to work in wiiu. I have modded my wiiu while back(with aroma), and has all files in SD card, bootup screen shows that "sd:/wiiu/payload.elf" was not found.
Mii maker shows "This SD card cannot be used" and vwii shows the same so SD must be recognized.
I have formatted it using guiformat with 32K Unit allocation size(SD card is recongnized and readable in PC), but still doesn't work in WiiU.
any help?

This could be the card or the adapter.
To troubleshoot, try using a different sd card in the adapter.
If problem persists, suspect the adapter itself.
Could be a janky adapter.
Please also make sure write-protect switch is disabled on adapter.

I tried using different card and adapter, and no luck...
Also, i tried formatting it with NTFS and exFAT just in case, but it didn't work either..

The cards i used is Samsung EVO Plus 32GB and Sandisk Ultra 64GB.
Adapter is one that came with samsung card and Buffalo's microsd adapter.

**EDIT**
I used sdcard.org's SD Card Formatter and it worked.
i hate guiformat and windows default format now

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    the mixed reviews is due to review bombing, because a chunk of regions are excluded/banned from buying it now

    so the players are review bombing as response to sony doubling down on their so-called policy
