Hi! Im currently trying to use YAWMModMii edition to continue setting up Riiconnect, but its not showing up on my screen and whenever I try to access my internal SD card it just gives me a Exception (DSI) occured error. My SD card is formatted in FAT32 (originally a 64GB), and I double checked the files and they seem fine. Is there a solution?

Thing is I havent installed anything else? And my wii is struggling to read my SD card fsr
I tried to install bootmii on it as well and its not detecting it
@blissful saddle
The reason why I asked this question was because I wanted to see whether this was just a YAWMModMii issue. Load another app and let me know if you have trouble using it.
alright, will do
Ping me once you get the result. I have some ideas depending on what result you get.
@blissful saddle okay so tried another app, doesnt show up either and still gives me the exception (DSI) error when i try to access the internal SD card
An issue with my memory card im thinking? Not too sure though
What did you use to format the SD
Very sorry I forgot to reply! Does your SD card have a slider? Make sure your sd card shows like this.
If it's on the bottom, it's usually locked. The Wii will still show the apps, but it can't access them. It makes sense since the Wii only has read privileges when it must have write privileges as well. If the slider is on the bottom then it does not have write privileges.
I know this seems silly but you don't know how many people need this solution lol. Let me know if this helped you.
I think I've used ridgecrop before and it's worked but I'm not totally sure.
Try Rufus
You can use Rufus on a Windows machine to easily format an external hard drive or SD card for use with your Wii.
⚠️ Formatting a drive will delete all data on the drive. Backup any essential data on a drive before proceeding with the formatting process.
- Download and install Rufus to your machine: https://rufus.ie
- Most people will want the Standard Windows x64 version.
- Launch Rufus.
- Click
Show advanced drive properties. - Check the box next to
List USB Hard Drives. - In the
Devicedropdown, select the SD or USB drive you'd like to use with the Wii. - In the
Boot selectiondropdown, selectNon bootable. - In the
Partition schemedropdown, selectMBR. - In the
Volume labeltext field, enter a name for your drive. Be creative. - In the
File systemdropdown, selectFAT32orLarge FAT32 - In the
Cluster sizedropdown, select32 kilobytes. - Click
Show advanced format options - Make sure
Quick formatis checked. - Uncheck
Create extended label and icon files - Click Start to begin the format process.
Here is a screenshot of what your settings should look like:

Usually does except it doesn’t account for MBR or GPT
I've used Rufus before- isn't it used for USB Booting? I used it last month to Install Ubuntu.
checked, inserted it inside the wii with the switch in the correct positon. so its not that ig?
Normally yes
Guess not. Try Rufus. Player knows more than I do.
If the slider is loose sometimes it will lock itself when you put it in the Wii
this is a brand new SD card i bought a bit ago
Also make sure your apps are structured properly
It seems like the apps are showing if he's able to open them.
He said they are not visible
Oh
Lol. I searched for GPT and ChatGPT came up, had a feeling it would. Have a feeling that's not what you're talking about.
GPT is a partition style that isn’t supported by the Wii
Only MBR is
Ah
alright formatting it using rufus rn, will try to throw everything back on after and see what happens
ohh
ignore the volume label LOL
WAIT NVM think i got it
Truly a poopshitter moment
