I was thinking, much the way people use HD Loaders for PS2 or MML with the supercard, give me one reason why there wont be some sort of disk that allows you to launch code....cough or games cough....from an SD card?

well, any time you have an open I/O port, there is an opportunity for an exploit.. we'll have to wait and see. :)

just like sony putting an MS Duo slot on the PSP.... open door for exploits..

Homebrew I can see, but unless they find some sort of HDD that loads via SD adapter, games won't probably even FIT on a SD card. Now, the Wii DOES have USB ports, so I could see an HDLoader running off of one of those like the PS2.

You will be sad to heard that the Nintendo Wii Firmware only accept SD Card up to 2GB.

(Might change in the future)

where you getting your SD cards? AFAIK only available up to 4 gigs. Though it is possible to be up to 32 gigs in the future.
