USB Mass Storage support on the horizon?

May 4th, 2008

Posted by nedthehead

You have two USB Ports on the back of your Wii, but how many people get much use out of them? Well, you might find MUCH more use out of them pretty soon. According to developers. there is already an application that reads and lists all the files on a Mass Storage drive, whether it be an MP3 Player (no iPods), an External HardDrive, or a USB Key.

Don’t go fetching your SD Cards yet though. The development is still very buggy. So much so that a release isn’t warranted at this time. However, we do have a source code to look at. You can be guranteed we’ll have any news of a release.

    who knows maybe we will see ISOs/VC games loaded off the HDD some what like the PS2 with HD Loader.

    This is really good to hear, not for iso loading, but for larger VC content.
    Extra save games… and yeah i guess iso loading but you dont really need that due to being able to burn dvd
