How to Use an SD Card to Save GameCube Games

The Nintendo GameCube is compatible with regular SD memory cards. The data that the memory card can save is dependent upon the amount of storage space the card has. To save game data, you should use a blank SD memory card. If there is data already on the SD card, the GameCube may erase it. Some cards will require reformatting before the GameCube can write your game data to it.

Instructions

  Power off the Nintendo GameCube. Open the SD card slot on the front of the Nintendo GameCube console.

  Insert the SD card, with the label facing up and the arrow on the label pointing toward the console, into the SD card slot.

  Power on the Nintendo GameCube, and select "Memory Card Screen" from the main menu.

  Select "Yes" if prompted to format the memory card. Press the "A" button on the remote. Press "Yes" and "A" again to agree to allow any data on the card to be erased. After the card is formatted, all game data that can be saved will be listed.

  Highlight the data or file to save to the SD card using the GameCube control stick. Then press the "A" button on the controller.
