Wii & Wii mini
In this article, you'll learn how to launch a Wii channel or game from the SD Card Menu.
Note
- Game save data must be on the Wii console (not on the SD Card) in order to be recognized by its associated game.
- If an updated version of a Wii Channel or game is redownloaded, the older version of the item saved to the SD Card may not run from the SD Card Menu.
Complete these steps
- Insert an SD Card into the SD Card slot on the front of the Wii console. Push it firmly into the slot until it clicks into place.

- Select the SD Card Menu icon from the Wii Menu to see the contents of the SD Card. The SD Card Menu icon is located in the bottom-left corner, next to the Wii icon on the main Wii Menu.
- Select an item from the list of available games or Wii Channels and press the A Button to open the Start screen for that item.
- Select Start to run the game or Wii Channel.
