Product Details
✓EIGHT STORAGE AREAS, AND THE CONSOLE READS ONE OF THEM AT A TIME: The card holds 16344 real uncompressed blocks in total, divided into eight independent 128MB areas of 2043 blocks each. Press the button on the front to move to the next area, and the eight indicator lights show which one is live. Expect one area of saves on screen rather than all eight at once, which is how every card of this capacity works.
✓REAL BLOCKS, NOT COMPRESSED ONES: The 16344 figure is uncompressed, which is the distinction that matters in this category. Cards that reach a high block count by compressing what they store can fall out with certain titles, and the two are easy to confuse because both print a large number on the shell.
✓BUILT FOR GAMECUBE CONSOLES AND FOR THE ORIGINAL WII, MODEL RVL-001: Read the model number on the underside before you order. The Family Edition and the Mini dropped the memory card slot altogether and the successor console was never part of this family, so none of those three will take this card. If the 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: The card lives in the memory card slot and keeps the files written by a disc made for GameCube, whether that disc runs on a GameCube deck or on the original console. Other titles keep their own saves in internal memory or on an SD card, and the SD slot is a separate thing entirely.
✓ONE ORANGE TRANSLUCENT CARD, MADE BY A THIRD PARTY: There is no official card at this capacity, so every 1024MB option is third party by definition. Power the console fully down before the card goes in or comes out, because that one habit is what keeps a save file intact on any card of this kind.
