+== SD Card Menu ==
+With the [[4.0]] update, SD launching was added. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of how titles are loaded by [[IOS]], titles cannot be directly launched from the SD card. All titles have access to the SD slot, and only one processor can access the slot at a time, complicating this. Nintendo solved this by simply copying all channels to the [[Hardware/NAND|NAND]] at runtime, which is why unsigned channels cannot be run this way.
