Now that Nintendo has given us the extra storage (max 32 GB) for more games and Wii Channels knowing how to start a game or Wii Channel from your SD Card is important. First of all you must have Wii Menu 4.0. Remember the SD Card Menu can hold up to 240 items. Instructions on launching a game or Wii Channel from your SD memory card:

1. Insert an SD Card into the SD Card slot on the front of the Wii console. Push it firmly into the slot until it clicks into place. Note: The SD card label faces toward Wii Game Disc slot.
2. Select the SD Card Menu icon from the Wii Menu to see the contents of the SD Card. The SD Card Menu icon is located in the bottom-left corner next to the "Wii" icon on the main Wii Menu.
