We willen je graag mededelen dat er vanaf nu een bijgewerkte versie van het Wii-menu beschikbaar is. Om je Wii-systeem bij te werken druk je op UPDATE rechts in het scherm, of ga je naar de Wii-instellingen en kies je Wii-SYSTEEMSOFTWARE BIJWERKEN.
Deze update geeft je de mogelijkheid om SD-geheugenkaarten op de volgende manieren te gebruiken met je Wii-systeem
- het Wii-menu bevat vanaf nu een SD-kaartmenu. Hierin kun je een Virtual Console-spel, een WiiWare-titel of een Wii-kanaal opstarten vanaf een SD-geheugenkaart (een SD-kaart of een SDHC-kaart).
- het is nu mogelijk om spellen, software en kanalen rechtstreeks vanuit het Wii-winkelkanaal naar een SD-geheugenkaart (een SD-kaart of een SDHC-kaart) te downloaden.
- het Wii-winkelkanaal bevat nu ook spellen voor de Virtual Console Arcade.
- het Wii-winkelkanaal en versie 1.1 van het fotokanaal ondersteunen vanaf nu het gebruik van SD-geheugenkaarten met een hoge capaciteit (SDHC-geheugenkaarten).
In het Wii-winkelkanaal kan een bijgewerkte versie van het Wii Speak-kanaal worden gedownload, die het gebruik van SDHC-geheugenkaarten ondersteunt. De huidige versie van het Wii Speak-kanaal kan niet met de bijgewerkte versie communiceren, dus alle deelnemers die het Wii Speak-kanaal gebruiken, moeten hun versie van het kanaal bijwerken om te kunnen blijven communiceren.
Kijk op support.nintendo.com voor Meer informatie over het SD-kaartmenu en de verschillende typen SD-geheugenkaarten.
BELANGRIJK Spelbestanden die zijn aangemaakt door niet-goedgekeurde aanpassingen, kunnen het Wii-systeem beschadigen. Deze update voor het Wii-menu vindt en verwijdert deze spelbestanden automatisch. Deze maatregel heeft geen gevolgen voor Wii-systemen die uitsluitend gewone spelbestanden bevatten.
Opmerking: Als je je Wii-systeem na 25 maart 2009 hebt bijgewerkt, hoef je het niet nog een keer bij te werken.
