[QUOTE="gamesquest1, post: 5818360, member: 335456"] to answer the first question, no, you couldn't just splice a USB wire to a SD card and magically make the SD slot turn into a USB capable port, for this to even be possible you would need some sort of bridge/emulation device afaik there isnt any even proof of concept USB -> SD card emulators, and if there was i doubt they would offer fantastic speed or reliability for something like loading games from, i know USB hard drives offer more space etc, but its a lot of work for something that would be defunct as soon as a IOSU loader is out, not to mention it would look pretty horrible sticking out of the SD port i guess a workaround would be using a vwii homebrew app which can transfer games from a HDD to SD then reboot and load up loadiine, granted you have a delay whenever you swap games, but a decent 32GB card stores a fair amount of games stretch to a 64GB or 128GB and you probably wouldn't even need to swap games except for very rare occasions, you could also look at trimming/ripping your games, some games can have quite a bit of valuable SD space saved by doing stuff such as swapping out FMV's for dummy/compressed version, and some games have huge files easily packed and labeled by language, meaning you can just strip out all the other language's files and still have the game but not have 5GB's of "junk" you dont even need [/QUOTE]
