Hey guys, long time no see!  I am *the* Knoxximus who wrote the FAQ.  I hope you guys find it somewhat useful!

And yeah, my 2GB card sucked HARD...the important thing is that you can eventually realize the full potential of a 4GB SD.

And yes, if you filled it with photos, you could view them in the Photo Channel.  If you filled it with music, you could use those in games that support custom soundtracks.

And as long as you make a quick backup of your card whenever you adjust something, you should be fine. 

I also updated the thread with a program where you can custom make a blank file whatever size you need to cut down the time it takes to maximize your card!  ^_^

Hey look, it's Mr. GameCube 1.5.

That it is....that it is.  And how are you, Mr. IceCold?  I see some of the old timers are still around. 

I just bought back into Nintendo stock too.  Remember when I bought it for like $22 a share summer of '06?  I sold it late last year for almost $70. 8)

Not only that, Mr. Gamecube 1.5 has something better this year....the Wii 4GB SD trick.  Try it....you'll LOVE it. :D

That's actually a pretty cool trick, but it's just as effective to buy 2 2GB SD cards, and cheaper too. I hope Nintendo updates the ISO to allow SDHC, especially since an 8GB SDHC card is $25 at Office Depot (might be Staples).

Staples has their 8GB SanDisk SD and Micro SD cards on sale for $24 this week. They also have the 8GB SanDis Micro Cruzers for the same price--I couldn't resist picking one of those up, as my last UFD was a lame 1GB PNY Attache that quickly lost the cap.

That would be a SDHC card, which is incompatible with the Wii.

I think I remember you from some past posts that I read.I am new to the forums.I joined back in January.As you can tell from my title I am the news dude.I bring news to the site.I started doing this because back when I joined it took a while for the front page to update.Recently we got more staff members.So I have been doing less.

Are you going to stick around here?Ask if Strell is going to come back.

I hope to be around more often...I was here all the time when it was Planet Gamecube.  Is IanSane still around? That was the DUDE!  If you would like, you could make a news post about the 4GB trick.  I've already been dugg, and trust me, it is legit and works like a charm!

Here a link to the Digg post:

 http://digg.com/nintendo/The_Inclusive_4GB_SD_Card_Workaround_Solution_for_Wii

Nice meeting you, and I'll pass the message on to Strell!  :)

Nintendo Gaming / RE:My Revolution Conspiracy Theory

Well, it's been about a year to the date of my last entry on this 'hypothesis' of mine.  Has time changed anyone's thoughts on the matter?

The Genesis never amounted to anything in Japan so I really doubt in the end it beat the SNES.  The concensus from everywhere I've ever looked up this stuff is that the Genesis initially was beating the SNES in North America but the SNES eventually beat it with Donkey Kong Country.  But they were really close and Sega did abandon the Genesis for the Saturn a year or so before Nintendo released the N64.  I figure the Japan factor would ensure Nintendo winning worldwide.  The SNES did have much more third party support which is an obvious sign of what console is selling better.

I wouldn't consider the comparison in hardware as being the same thing this gen.  The Wii isn't just weaker hardware it's pretty much last gen hardware.  That's more like having an NES competing against a Genesis.  Personally I think the PS3 is such a gong show that it won't matter though.

"Personally, Ian, I find it rather refreshing that Nintendo respects the minds of intelligent gamers everywhere....or at least Shiggy does. I mean, you have to admit, this is MUCH better than Sony trying to convince us that rumble and motion sensor tech cannot co-exist, when really they are just sore at Immersion, you know?"

Yeah but you also have Nintendo closely guarding the specs.  It's kind of dumb to hide the specs and then have one of your execs blurt out how "weak" they are.  Plus the "respects the minds of intelligent gamers" logic kind of goes out the window when in the same breath he's talking about double-dipping Cube games, a strategy that requires a lack of intelligence from gamers in order to be successful.


Actually, at this point, the spec sheet is pretty much common knowledge.  Maybe if he had come out with that a few months ago I could see you point.  Also, when I say "respects the minds of intelligent gamers", and least they are being honest and forthwith, regardless of the subject matter.  I mean, they assume that most of us have already put 2 and 2 together, so why not confirm it?  

It's kinda like a pimp telling this chick, "Look, you're gonna hoe for me and I'm gonna get the money."  She already knows what time it is.  He didn't have to sit there and try to con her into doing it and then try to hit her for the cash after the fact....she knows what she is getting into before she does.  So, by him stating the obvious helps more than hurts.

In other news, I also (not necessarily in here) told everyone I knew to start buying Ninty stock earlier this year....NOBODY LISTENED.

But you proposed a technical reboxing of GC, which is factually false.

However, Miyamoto confirms the spirit of your ponderings.

Well, it's all semantics now.  I said "repackaging", Shiggy says "....basically a GC".

It's all up to interpretation now. *shrugs*

We all suspected the Wii was just a Cube with a new controller but more or less confirming it seems kind of odd.  Isn't that bad?  Why would Miyamoto want people to know about that?


He has this little thing called integrity.

Hello Kairon!

Yeah, it's old, but I caught so much flak (BLASPHEMY!) when I stated this a year ago that I'm still kinda sore!  LOL!!  But thanks for having my back even then!!  At least we got to go to the last ever E3, eh?

Nintendo realizes that speaking the obvious isn't going to hurt them one bit, PLUS get them some cool points with the "keep it real" set, like myself.

Requiem, you are missing the point.  The flood gates are beginning to open here....Assassins' Creed, Dragon Quest 9 (possibly) and now this?  It not about like it or not (and I LOVE DMC 1&3, BTW)....it's the (by Sony's point of view) disturbing trend of once exclusive 3rd party franchises jumping ship.  Sony's ill gotten stranglehold on the videogame market is showing signs of faltering!....and THAT is something to cheer about!

*sighs*

I knew this was coming, but from Kairon, of ALL people?  I'm telling Bretai on you...

If you noticed, Kairon, the article you are referencing is dated January...the ones I am referencing are dated May....so if you do the math, and can process all things that are chronological in nature, I'm sure you will see the folly in your Phoenix Wright-esqe "OBJECTION!!"

Edit: Also, google the May 18th-ish Famitsu mag....it's in there too.

This bodes so badly for the PS3 it ain't even funny...



Yep, Sony is really screwing the pooch next gen.  Hopefully the general public will finally see Sony as the biters and defunct format pushers they are!  WII60 FTW!
