Hey, well I understand how to load textures, and codes, and the like.
I had it all working fine, however I recently ran out of room on my 1GB SD so I decided to delete everything and just put on what I really wanted.
So I deleted everything and yet the space was still being used on the SD card.
So I read on the internet that I needed to reformat the SD card to get the space back.
So I reformatted after reformatting the SD card to FAT32 my wii doesn't recognize the SD card.
So what could be wrong?
It's a 1GB SD card, formatted to FAT32 and it doesn't recognize anything.
Could really use some help.
Must Brawl+ again....

TL:DR
SD card is formatted to FAT32 yet not being recognized by Wii.
Nor is Gecko shown on the HBC


I'm on a Macbook Pro, if that has any relevance what so ever.

try formatting it to other types as well see if any of them work..



I can only format it to some Mac OS format or FAT32

If you can, try to get access to a Windows computer and format it with that to FAT32, and if it still doesn't work then try FAT (aka FAT16).

Also, whatever you read on the internet lied, you don't need to reformat to get your space back. Just deleting what you don't want deletes it and you space is recovered on your SD card. Reformatting just instantly deletes everything and changes the storage format to a different one/just instantly deletes everything if you reformat it back to the same format.

So the only way would be to get a windows computer?
Dammit...

or you could try running Windows through a virtual PC (emulated) on your Mac.

I had the same problem with my card (I have a mac). Just do this. It would also be a good idea to have the stuff on your sd backed up on your computer.
