You would be insane to want to play original IV on VC when you could be playing the awesome DS remake.

Or completely unable to come to grips with how they pronounce "Cecil."

Unless I prefer the original 2D sprites.

I'd say that makes you insane. :)

I could see having that opinion if the remake was JUST the 3D graphics... but the cut scenes, voice acting, and general flow are ALL so much better, especially when you get towards the end of the game.

My GH RB data works fine on my 4gb card, I've been using that one for a while now.

Let me guess, it's not SDHC, is it? You used the "padding" trick for a regular 4GB SD card... If so, it'd still work fine. It can't read SDHC cards, or it's sketchy at the very least.

BUMMER, this is the main reason I was stoked about this update... :(

Okay, here's weird.

You can move the original Wii Speak channel to the SD Card - but you can't move it back, the system tells you to download the new version.  You can run the old version from the SD card.  You can download the new version and keep it on the system and run it.

Now, if you have 1.0 Photo Channel and downloaded the 1.1 update, you can move the update to the SD card and 1.0 will reappear on your Wii Menu.  However, there is no option to run 1.1 from the SD Card.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Really? So you can basically downgrade back to 1.0? Being able to play MP3 files instead of AAC files would be nice.

I had a strange thing happen with Bit Trip Beat. I was playing it off the SD card and it didn't save my game.

By that I mean, level 2 wasn't unlocked and my high score wasn't saved.  I stressed out that it was some SD glitch so I tested out playing off wii system menu where it DID save my game.

Then I moved it back to the SD card and played some more, got a new high score, figured it wouldn't be saved, but when I backed out and fired it up again, it WAS in fact saved....

So what gives... did my system just glitch out the first time or something? Who knows.

It takes about 10 seconds for me.  I have about 40 games on my SD card - it's an old 2Meg SD though, so no compression or anything to deal with.

The first time I loaded the SD Menu it took forever but after that it loads really fast. Are you pulling it out and using multiple cards? Or perhaps you are changing what is on them a lot?

Say, Spin, your on the GH and RB forums a lot, right? Is the SDHC GH/RB issue very widespread over there or is it only isolated cases?

Same here.  In fact, after waiting 5 minutes I just restarted my system.  The next time it loaded up immediately.

Well so far I have had no problem with it loading. It always takes less then 10 seconds. No complaints from me so far besides minor ones like easier accessibility to the SD card channel without having to load it every time

The channel is overall amazing. I love it. But I do agree with the reloading thing.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone here not download the update because they don't need it?

I'm not getting it until it is forced upon me, such as when I buy a new Wii game which contains the update.

I haven't downloaded it cuz i'm no hurry play non-disc games.

I'm waiting for the dust to settle, so I don't get hit with any surprise VISTA SERVICE PACK UPDATE that the SD channel might contract.

You've all been warned.

Don't you want to download any Virtual Console Arcade games?

As for me, I download every update as soon as it is available.

Because of my collectoritis, I can't bring myself to pay for downloads. The very rare exception was Bomberman Blast, because it's online Bomberman. Nobody could resist that.

None of the VCA games are great, unlike Castlevania.

And it is too late. My RB/GH DLC no longer works. This is the worst update ever.  >:(

This is a good update, it's just nintendo didn't toubleshoot enough outside of VC/Wiiware stuff.  Even though they had what? over 6 months to do so?

How doesn't the RB/GB DLC doesn't work? Is it because you switched to a SDHC card? That's because the games were made when the Wii could only support SD cards, so that means SDHC cards will not work on Rock Band 2 and GH: World Tour.

No, it is the same card I've used since the games were released.

I have another 1gb card kicking around somewhere that I will try when I find it.
