I'm trying to install the Homebrew Channel on my 2007 USA Wii, and have a 2GB SanDisk Ultra II SD card. I formatted the card as FAT, copied on the 'private' folder from the latest Smash Stack and the 'boot.elf' file from the latest HackMii installer, and inserted it into my Wii along with a brand-new copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I've never played the game before on my Wii, though I do now...). I went into the SSBB 'Vault - Stage Builder' and deleted all three sample stages, then rebooted my Wii. I reentered the Stage Builder, but it still just displayed the regular screen with the 'NEW' button. I reformatted the card again as FAT, copied the files over again, inserted it into my Wii, rebooted my Wii, and tried again, but the same thing happened. I then waited 24 hours (I played some games on the Wii during this time), then tried again, but again no luck. I then tried again with a FAT32-formatted card with the files, and it still didn't work. What do I do now? If any of the following are relevant: The card was not in the 'lock' position at any time. If I try to use the card in the SD Card Manager from the Wii Menu, it says "the device inserted in the SD card slot is not usable." The card displays the SD logo (not the MMC or SDHC logos). I am using Windows 7. The first time I tried this, I did not have a SSBB savefile on my Wii, but I did the second and third times.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63414#msg-63414Mon, 10 Aug 2026 10:34:56 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,64584#msg-64584 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,64584#msg-64584 tecmodell42 Getting StartedFri, 04 Feb 2011 20:40:08 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63897#msg-63897 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63897#msg-63897 lilflip182 Getting StartedSun, 09 Jan 2011 17:05:25 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63684#msg-63684 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63684#msg-63684

I won't question it.]]> doggitydogs Getting StartedSun, 02 Jan 2011 19:17:32 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63546#msg-63546 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63546#msg-63546
I'd strongly suggest you to try with another SD card, and if it fails from the Wii Menu too, I'd believe that it has something to do with your SD slot being broken. If that is the case, well, there is not much you can do unless sending your Wii for repairs.]]> Axel Getting StartedTue, 28 Dec 2010 22:07:06 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63472#msg-63472 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63472#msg-63472
I am attempting this on a Wii from the United States (as is the game, as would naturally follow) running System Menu 4.3.

I have read and followed all the directions on the wiki, but it still doesn't work (I have tried it with FAT and FAT32-formatted cards, as I said).]]> doggitydogs Getting StartedMon, 27 Dec 2010 04:35:46 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63436#msg-63436 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63436#msg-63436 nightwishfan1 Getting StartedSun, 26 Dec 2010 15:18:21 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63429#msg-63429 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63429#msg-63429 g_man Getting StartedSun, 26 Dec 2010 07:49:10 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63426#msg-63426 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63426#msg-63426 billsfan444 Getting StartedSun, 26 Dec 2010 05:52:19 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63423#msg-63423 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63423#msg-63423 dirtrider73068 Getting StartedSat, 25 Dec 2010 23:47:11 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63414#msg-63414 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,63414,63414#msg-63414
