How to Transfer Data to Your Wii

The Nintendo Wii supports using SD cards to transfer data on and off the system. You can copy files from your computer onto an SD card and move them to the Wii, or move files from one Wii to another. Though the SD card itself can hold any type of file, the Wii will only recognize certain types of data, such as Wii game saves. Unsupported files on an SD card will not transfer to the Wii or run on the system.
