Stupid nooby question guys.

I'm running out of space on my Wii. But I have this card for the DSi.

Will this work on my Wii?




I'm sure this should work on my Wii but just wanted to make sure. Yeah, it's the label that says Nintendo DSi on it, but it shouldn't matter, right?

Thanks.

Also, is there a separate channel menu I have to use when I play games off of the SD card? It looks ugly. There are so many empty channels left on my Wii menu. What's the point if I can't fill them all up?

I think this may be partially responsible for that problem you're having with games on your SD card.  For whatever reason the Wii will not correctly work with an SD card bigger than 2 GB.  Nintendo has stated that several times.  From what I've heard you can get larger cards to work for some things, but there will be times you experience problems. Get yourself a 2 GB card as soon as you can.

No the bastard hasn't referred to any of that. He said on Wednesday night, "I don't know what I can do to help you. But I'm positive it will get better." And I'm like, "Hooooooooooow?" Considering it's been getting worse and the exercises haven't been helping. And he's like... let me retry the blood tests we took a year ago to see if anything has changed. No mention of Ortho, Chiropracter, Rhemetology.

I've been wearing the posture support for the past 4 hours or so. Seems to help a lot. But wont be of much use when I have to lie down. I hope it relieves the over stretching/pressure and allows the muscles or discs to heal.

Damn. At least he's being honest.

Seriously, though. He needs to start doing a proper workup or refer you to a specialist who can do that. You need to rule out:

• Spine illness which can lead to chronic muscular contractures, as well as nerve compression. Also discal hernia. That is ruled out by an Orthopaedist.
• Inflammatory disease, like fibromyalgia. That should be approached by a Rheumatologist.

Do not try out chiropractors or alternative medicine before being properly assessed by a physician with his head out of his ass.  

I just read up on fibromyalgia yesterday, sounds suspisciously familiar. I'm constantly fatigued and have other pains too. Thanks for this. I can't believe there are all these causes and diagnostics and this bastard doesn't mention one of them.

Just got Cursed Mountain.

Cool. I was interested in that. But I got Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles instead!

I know you'd like that!

There are tons of better wii games than cursed mountain but if you find it cheap its good to playthrough, if you can master the controls and put up with the enemy encounters.

Dvader said:

Good choice.

Yup! And I think my Wii collection is getting pretty good now. Can't wait for Metroid, SMG2, and Monster Hunter Tri!

Pssst...don't tell GG that I also got Endless Ocean 2!

Also, Mario Galaxy 2 with 240 stars?

Are you comparing my gargantuan sized penis to a normal mans?

If should work fine on Wii. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Insert your SD Card, and click there. It'll take you to your SD Card channels.

Thanks!

But I have so many Wii channels that are empty. How do I manage them wisely? I'm guessing I should download the WiiWare and maybe N64 games on the SD card while the NES and SNES stuff goes on the Wii channel. So that way I won't have so many empty channels to make my screens look so ugly.

Your wii drive only has 512mb and some save files cannot be moved or transferred to SD. Keep every WiiWare and VC game on SD card, the load times are really short, plus if something happens to your wii you dont have to re-download them. Put the channels you regularly use on the Wii memory.

Also, my Wii component cables is making the game look so smooth and clean. I'm amazed at how good and crisp the game looks on my HDTV!

All N64 emulation is done sharper and cleaner, they removed the way the N64 handled aliasing which blurred edges.

Dvader said:

Miyamoto is so awesome.

In the end, we are going to have more than 240 stars for you to obtain, and we think it’s going to be challenging for any and all gamers.

OMG!!! Now does he mean 240 different stars or 120 with Mario and 120 with Luigi. I assume its with Luigi as well, maybe Luigi has different missions or something.

Yeah, if its just Luigi missions, no fair.

Sounds good. I had no idea N64 games took up so much blocks. Zelda Ocarina of Time is my biggest file!

Yeah, OoT was a 32MB game on cartridge, and was one of the bigger N64 games. RE2 was the biggest, I believe, coming in at around 64MB. Sadly, it hasn't been released on VC yet.

Did they release this on GC? I'm pretty sure capcom is continuing the archives series, which means more ports.

bugsonglass said:

you must take care though that you have enough blocks left on your wii's memory for whatever game you want to play because even though it's supposedly running the game off the SD card in actual fact it copies it to the wii memory and deletes it afterwards so you still need to have enough free memory for it.

This is why it's best to leave things on SD card. But because of wiiware limits (32mbs?) you only need to leave about that much on your wii memory free.

Here's a good tip, any game that has an optional wii channel, Rabbids Go Home, Mario Kart etc have quite large memory requirements, like over 100 blocks. Keep this on SD.

Both Zelda OoT and RE2 were released on GC. I own Zelda OoT/Master Quest disk, but stupid Gamestop wanted $40 for a used copy of RE2, so I never bought it.

Just read this about Sony' motion controller:

Interestingly, the controller has a proprietary connector on its bottom, of which Marks said "Our licensees can talk to us about it."

They really did copy everything.

Are you also standing on the edge of something much too deep?

gamingeek said:

Yes, I had one. It's the NiGHTS controller (was packed w/ the game). It may look dumb, but it was very comfortable.

You can see how its similar to the DC pad in layout, it's just the disc that throws me.

Or do you throw IT?

Damnit, why did Sony have to ditch the batarang? That thing looked comfy.
