Using Memory Cards
Using SD Memory Cards
SD Cards are used in many
digital cameras and cell
phones, and for data storage
on PCs. The Wii console only
accepts SD memory cards,
including miniSD and
microSD when used with
their respective adapters.
An SD memory card can be
used to store Wii related data
such as game save information,
certain data from the Wii Channel
applications, and games downloaded through the Wii Shop Channel.
• To use an SD Card, open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the console and
insert the SD Card.
Using Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards
NOTE: Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards can only be used to save game
information for Nintendo GameCube Game Discs.
• To use a Nintendo GameCube Memory Card, open the slot cover and insert the
memory card as shown below.
Note: Label faces
towards the top or
right side of the
Wii console.
If purchasing a new SD Card, a list of cards that have been tested to work with the Wii
console can be found at the following URL: http://support.nintendo.com
CAUTION: Do not insert or remove memory cards when reading or writing
information to or from the card or initializing the card. Doing so may damage the
Wii console or memory card, or permanently destroy data.
