Does anyone know the logic behind how the SD card reader in a wii operates? And what part of the wii software handles this? (specifically the software) The main reason I ask is that I was led to believe that my sd card slot was dead, but then I found out something. I ran boot mii, and the sd card was detected and used to do a test backup. It's not the hardware, because I found the wii backup on my SD. So, it must be something in my wii Menu corrupted, right? The wii menu tries to recognize my card, but always fails. Most homebrew apps won't even acknowledge it. However, wii menu seems to be based off the spring "click" switch. Homebrew channel didn't look for that. It looked for whether it could be mounted and used (usb flash drive was recognized when I plugged it in) The SD was not. So, is there an IOS that handles SD data mounting specifically that could have possible been corrupted? Because, if bootmii worked, it couldn't be hardware wise, and its not my SD's or their formatting (multiple cards, tried all formats, all worked with a SD > USB adapter in the back of the wii) Any ideas?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54948#msg-54948Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:46:04 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54969#msg-54969 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54969#msg-54969
Something in the Bootmii faq:

Why does my SD card work in the Installer / HBC, but not in BootMii (or vice-versa)?

libogc and MINI use completely different sets of code to talk to SD cards, so a card that works in one may not work in the other. For reasons unclear, MINI does not work with a random 25% of all SD cards; we are constantly striving to increase compatibility, but in the mean time you might want to try another card.

Not sure what that means, but it sounds like only certain code is working correctly to access my card...? Perhaps someone could elaborate\explain?

EDIT: Heavy use trying to test multiple SD cards, my spring finally snapped. I quit. This year old POS is just gonna have to use usb. Close this, or whatever.]]> Gunstar_Hero SoftwareSun, 20 Jun 2010 01:25:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54968#msg-54968 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54968#msg-54968
Anyway, it could be a high-level hardware fault, but because BootMii/MINI is so low level, it is able to use it anyway, but Nintendo IOS cannot? I am making a complete guess here, but it sounds kinda viable :P]]> SifJar SoftwareSun, 20 Jun 2010 00:59:19 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54963#msg-54963 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54963#msg-54963 Gunstar_Hero SoftwareSat, 19 Jun 2010 23:44:02 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54960#msg-54960 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54960#msg-54960 Gunstar_Hero SoftwareSat, 19 Jun 2010 22:46:23 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54953#msg-54953 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54953#msg-54953
And ALL IOS can access SD AFAIK, I'm pretty sure they all need to, because only one is ever running, so whichever it is running at a particular time needs to be able to access SD. And HBC and System Menu usually use different IOS, so I don't see how it could be that really...]]> SifJar SoftwareSat, 19 Jun 2010 15:22:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54948#msg-54948 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,54948,54948#msg-54948
Any ideas?]]> Gunstar_Hero SoftwareSat, 19 Jun 2010 11:05:04 +0200
