My Wii has been modded, runs homebrew, has emulators, I've got a harddrive hooked up, and everything works great. However, I did not partition my HDD when I set it up, so it is used only for back-ups. The SD card is used for all emulators, roms, and a whole bunch of VC games. AND IT IS GETTING VERY FULL.
Question: If I copy the contents of this 2gb SD card to a 16gb SD card, will this new, larger SD card function like the 2gb? Will the Wii not even know what happened? Or will this not work at all? I have no idea. I assume (and hope) that this will just "work".
Does anyone know if this will this work? Thanks in advance.

Re: Modded Wii - SD size upgrade?
You shouldn't have any issues with your plan unless you have some very old homebrew that won't accept SDHC.
I do believe that some of the exploits (smash stack being one) won't work with SDHC, but since you already have the Homebrew Channel I don't see that as being a problem. When my Wii was getting more use I had a variety of cards I used for testing, ranging from 2GB to 32GB, and multiple times I moved all the files from one to another.

^^^same response. Have moved files from one SD card to another, and as long as the homebrew can use the new card, everything should be fine.
Re: Modded Wii - SD size upgrade?
Thanks for the replies. What about the VC games on the SD? As long as it's the Wii they were purchased on, I assume they will also work no problem?

I believe to mod the wii at first you need a NON HC card but after it is modded you can can move the stuff to a larger card, I think the max size is 32 GB that is what I use.Snake wrote:My Wii has been modded, runs homebrew, has emulators, I've got a harddrive hooked up, and everything works great.
