Product Details
✓FOUR STORAGE AREAS, AND THE CONSOLE READS ONE OF THEM AT A TIME: The card carries 8192 uncompressed blocks in total, split across four independent 128MB areas, and the label on the card puts 2043 blocks in each one. Press the button on the front to move to the next area, and the four indicator lights show which area is live. This is how every 512MB card of this type works, so expect one area of saves on screen rather than all of them at once.
✓BUILT FOR GAMECUBE CONSOLES AND FOR THE ORIGINAL WII, MODEL RVL-001: Turn the console over and read the model number before you order, because this card is for the RVL-001 machine and for the GameCube only. It is not for the Wii U either, and the later revisions that dropped the memory card slot are out as well. If that slot sits on the top of your console next to the controller ports, you have the right one.
✓SAVES FOR GAMECUBE DISCS, AND NOT FOR WII TITLES: On the original console the memory card slot and the SD slot do different jobs, and this card lives in the first one. It keeps the files written by a disc made for GameCube, whether that disc runs on a GameCube or on the original console, while other titles keep their own saves inside the console instead. Knowing which slot you are filling saves a return.
✓PLUG IT IN AND IT IS READY, AND OLD SAVES CAN COME ACROSS: There is no driver, no software and nothing to format first. To bring saves over from a smaller card, put both cards in the console and use the memory card menu that the system already has, which copies files across without a PC. Turn the console fully off before the card goes in or comes out, because that one habit is what keeps a save file intact.
✓WHAT ARRIVES IS ONE BLUE TRANSLUCENT CARD, 4.5 BY 3.5 BY 0.7 CM: The shell is see through, so the board and the gold contacts are visible from the outside, and the whole thing is light enough to travel in the same bag as the console. It is made by a third party and is not an official accessory for Nintendo, which is also why a card this size exists at all.
