How to Make an SDHC Compatible With a Wii

A Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) card is capable of storing a large amount of data, including applications, games and other types of multimedia. Prior to 2009, the Nintendo Wii only allowed standard SD cards to store saved games and data, with a maximum capacity of 2GB. However, thanks to recent Wii system upgrades, you can now make an SDHC card fully compatible with a Wii console.
