Does a Kodak 2GB SD card work with the Wii?

Yeah, that's what I'm using right now (I think)!

Congrats on wasting your money.

What does that mean? I got the homebrew channel up and running as well as Ocarina by myself!

The Wii branded SD card costs at least 3x as much as a regular SD card.

Well regular SD cards don't work on the Wii so I had to buy one.

That's what they want you to think...

It takes something really special for me to say this:

Idiot.

No I'm serious I tried several SD cards and they didn't work.

Well, everyone else uses non-Wii-branded SD cards with no trouble at all, so you don't know what you're doing.
And you can't use cards bigger than 2GB.

Because then the Wii would get GB envy.

Well I don't know maybe it's new firmware upgrades detecting a non-wii brand or something. I knew 2G is the limit so you buy more.

Are you trying to say that the 2GB limit is a marketing decision to sell more cards? And as I'm sure others here could also say, 3.3U is giving me no problems with my non-Wii branded SD card.

Having the Wii logo doesn't make it physically any different from every other SD card ever.

Yes. If you run out of room you would need a new card, wouldn't you? It could be physical damage to my Wii or something else not permitting me to use other non-Wii SD cards.

What would be the advantage of getting a new card rather than moving stuff off the card onto a computer? You wouldn't be able to have both cards in your Wii at once.
