#Previosly homebrewed wii, new sd card?
5 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
if you bricked your old sd card into read only mode, verify that the slider is unlocked, and try running check disk on it
I did a bunch of times.
The drive should be 2tb or smaller, formatted to MBR and have a single primary FAT32 partition with 32kb (32768) or 64kb (65536) cluster/allocation unit size.
Double check the partition style is MBR: https://www.howtogeek.com/245610/how-to-check-if-a-disk-uses-gpt-or-mbr-and-how-to-convert-between-the-two/
Drive is 64gb or less: Format it to FAT32 with 32kb (32768) cluster / allocation unit size.
Drive is larger than 64gb: Format it to FAT32 with 64kb (65536) cluster / allocation unit size.
If the drive is larger than 32GB, you will need third party software like GUIFormat or Wii Backup Manager to format your drive to FAT32

i would ask you to run dmesg but i highly doubt you use a linux based os
