Wii Hardware \ Wii Memory!

cmpa1970 says:

i'm so pissed! today my wii ran out of memory! really! i opened two wii-mails i got & on returning to the main menu a window open, "message board memory is approaching maximum. do you want to move old records to your sd card?" i clicked yes. an hour later it's still copying! i had no choice but to leave it running & go to work! got back & copy complete! now the first half of my wii-mail has a little sd card pic on top centre (like with attached pics). but even worse, i also have to move my vc games to sd card coz i can't fit anymore on my wii. even though i've only used half the channels! i downloaded wave race today after moving vc games to sd card. i'll have to do it from now on! & half my main menu pages are empty! i was only 4 games into page three! so kids it looks like the wii max's out at about 18-19 vc games..... not happy jan!

this has been widely reported a few months ago, a lot of people have been using up the Wii's internal memory with just a few VC games. it led to the speculation that Nintendo will be releasing a hard drive add-on....but that proved to be false. i wonder what Nintendo plans to do with this problem?

the problem with VC games is that each one contains a copy of the emulator program. so if you download 10 VC games, you also have 10 copies of the same emulator!

they better do something soon because once WiiWare and Neo-Geo content become available, there won't be any space left to put them on. they can't expect us to keep swapping sd cards forever.

"message board memory is approaching maximum. do you want to move old records to your sd card?"

Are you sure it's not just your message board that's full? How many blocks are left on your Wii's system memory? Can you not download anything new because it's full?

If the Wii's memory is maxing out this early, they will have to do something about it. Having to use SD cards all the time is not only a hassle but more expensive. (just because I wanted to use one of the new ones, hehe)

i copied half my message board mail to sd card. deleted about 15 pics. copied all wii game saves. moved 4 vc games & downloaded wave race. that leaves me with 50 blocks! i now have to copy to sd card for every vc download! what's the use of giving us so many channels on wii if we can only ever half fill them!!!!! ggggrrrrhhhhh......

Omi says:

That's terrible cmpa. Surely they will realise that something needs to be done, and I'm not just talking SD cards, or re-downloading them.

How is the Wii meant to last until the next generation if it is running out of memory after so little?

How many Wii game saves are there on your Wii?

It's good to know that someone out there is using their Wii to the maximum potential.

I don't think I'm even 15% full.

Maybe if you didnt have so many MII'S.Lol

08/17/2007 I am in a distant realm of imagination..Ok im at home :(

aeSentinel says:

Miis can't take up that much space if they can fit into the Wiimote. I think I read it has around 10KB of space in it?

Check the save for your Internet Channel. Mine seems pretty big, I guess from my favorited URLs.

I wonder if those new wiis will have more storage space. I was a little disapointed when I started to hear about the limited space in the wii.
