How To Add Space To Wii Harddrive?

I am looking to add more space to my wii hard drive, as my wii's memory is almost full from virtual console games. What is the best way to do this? I would prefer not to have to delete and redownload my games, so if I buy a memory card, will I be able to add more games to wii and still have them all show up on the main wii dashboard?

Are there any tips for ways to handle the wii's limited memory or extend it?

Thanks!

Its impossible your wii doesnt have an hard drive to expand. you can buy SD memory card but only below 4gigs after they they start using higher speeds that the Wii cannot usewebbut

It's 2gig and the speed has nothing to do with it

First of all, the Wii doesn't have a "hard drive". Instead it has internal flash RAM like flash drives or those tiny iPods.

Second, there is no way to get extra storage for the Wii. Nintendo refuses to admit there is a problem and doesn't want to release an external hard drive for some odd reason.

Don't bother with SD cards. You can't even play games off them. They are just used as storage, so you still have to switch games in and out. It's still an inconvenience. It's just slightly less inconvenient than redownloading everything.

The reason is fat32 partition support. Most SD cards over 2 GBs are SDHC (or Secure Digital High Capacity). There are a few regular SD cards that are 4 GBs, but they use some trickery in the way they are created and might not work with everything. In order for the Wii to support more than 2 GBs, Nintendo just needs to release a firmware update that allows the Wii to recognize fat32. Fat32 supports partition sizes greater than 4 GBs. This will give you some good info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card#SDHC.
