Guidelines when using SD Cards

• Game Save data and add-on content will not be displayed on the SD Card Menu.
To move or copy this type of content, use Data Management in the Wii Settings and
Data Management option available from the Wii Menu screen. See the Wii Settings
and Data Management section of this manual for more information.
• Some features of WiiConnect24 will not work with Channels when they are started
from an SD Card. These features will only work with the Channels when they are
moved or copied back into Wii system memory.
• Do not remove the SD Card or turn the power off when moving or saving data as
this may cause the loss of data or damage to the Wii system or SD Card.
• If you re-purchase or re-download an updated version of a channel from the Wii
Shop Channel, the older version of the channel saved to the SD Card may not run
from the SD Card Menu.

Insufficient Wii System Memory
The SD Card Menu temporarily uses Wii system memory to startup a program. If there
is insufficient Wii system memory to start a program, a screen will appear that will
give you options for freeing up memory.

Freeing memory using Auto Manage

Choose from one of four possible ways to
automatically move programs from the Wii
system memory to the SD Card to increase the
amount of unused memory.
• Not Launched Recently
Move programs to the SD Card starting with those that haven't been used for the
longest amount of time.
NOTE: The "Not Launched Recently" option will not appear if there are a small
number of programs in the Wii Menu.
• From Rightmost Wii Menu Page
Move programs to the SD Card starting with those on the right side of the
Wii Menu.
• Lots of Blocks
Move programs to the SD Card starting with those that use up the most memory
blocks.
• A Few Blocks
Move programs to the SD Card starting with those that use up the fewest memory
blocks.

Freeing memory using Data Management Screen

Choose "Continue" to switch to the Data
Management tool in the Wii Settings and
Data Management option normally available
from the Wii Menu screen.
From the Data Management tool, you can
manually pick unused programs to move to
the SD Card or delete them.
NOTE: If the SD Card has the same programs that are stored in the Wii system
memory, the programs on the SD Card will be over-written by the programs being
moved from the system memory.
