Can make backups, do your research!,
This product is great if you have an older Action Replay (One that you can add codes to), it can run homebrew games and applications as well as backups of Gamecube games you can make with it. The program required to dump the disc is called “sddvd-01g.dol”.
Do your research before bad-mouthing an excellent product!

|Simple, yet perfect,
Works flawlessly with the Twilight Hack and a non-modded Wii, although I only use 2GB or smaller cards. I’ve been told 4GB cards have problems, but I can’t confirm or deny that, as I don’t have any, and haven’t really needed them anyway.

|Slight disapointment but does what I needed it to.,
I bought the Wii Key SD card adapter to backup saved games from my Gamecube memory card to my PC; it will do this you’ll have to run the Gamecube, homebrew program MCBackup. There is only an early beta version of MCBackup and restore doesn’t always work on the first try, but once you have the SD card formatted to FAT with a mcbackup directory in it, the program will backup your save games. You can also put other Gamecube homebrew files on the SD card and use SDLoader to run them. I would have given the adapter 5 stars instead of 4, but the Gamecube can’t access the SD card directly (although to be fair Wii Key never claimed it could) and the only programs that can access the SD card are MCBackup and SDLoader (for example, I couldn’t get GCOS to access the SD card).

|Limited usefulness, inexpensive generic cards serve same purpose,
SD memory cards are an optional purchase of limited usefulness for your Nintendo Wii. Use a SD memory card to store photographs and music for the Wii’s Photo Channel; and to back-up saved games, downloaded Wii Virtual Console titles, and Wii software (such as the Wii Internet browser).
Downloaded virtual console titles and software can’t be run directly from an SD card but only from the Wii’s console memory. Nintendo’s thought here is that if you don’t have any free space in your Wii’s console memory for new software or a saved game, offload something onto a SD card. However, one may also delete purchased virtual console titles and software, because these may be re-downloaded free of charge from the Wii Shopping Channel.
Offloaded virtual console titles and Wii software on an SD card may not be used on another Wii console, as they are locked specifically to your Wii Shopping Channel account. SD cards will not store Nintendo GameCube saved games — you will need to purchase a GameCube memory card for that. Your Mii avatars may not be backed up onto a SD card. Use a Wii Remote Controller to store up to ten Mii characters per controller.
Of note, generic high-speed SD memory cards perform just as well (for example, PQI, Ridata, or Sandisk), and often cost one-third less than a Sandisk/Nintendo branded SD memory card. Given the Nintendo Wii’s limited utilization of SD memory cards, generic SD cards are a smarter buy.

|Great buy,
With the new Wii update, you can really utilize these 2GB cards for storage, and they are a must have for anyone that downloads from the wii store. Sadly, the space on this tiny card is about 100 times greater than that of the wii console memory. Cmon Nintendo, I expect better from you.
If you can find these at a great price (under 30), as I did, definitely pick one up. And one is plenty, considering I’ve downloaded over 20 games onto it and it is not even 1/4 filled up.

|Storing The Wii,
With the needs now important of saving your data for the Wii, many gamers are now looking for more ways to store their added data. Thanks to Wiiware, and now downloading songs for games like Guitar Hero: On Tour and Rock Band 2 onto the Wii, there is a much bigger need to store your favorite games. That does come into play with the Wii SD Memory Card from Sandisk, it is a simple and convient way of storing your game data from your favorite Wii titles like Super Mario Galaxy, and The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Now, you can also directly load games from your SD Memory Card and play them on the Wii, with the new updated 4.0 menu. You can store great downloadable titles like Art Style: Cubello, Midnight Pool, and classics for the Virtual Console like Sonic The Hedgehog 3. With all the new features for the Wii, I strongly recommend it more than ever to get this Sandisk Memory Card for the Wii.
