This pull request makes changes throughout the guide to make it clearer that formatting their SD card to FAT32 is required. It uses wording already present in the 3DS guide to convey this, and links to the Wiki page detailing how to do so.

Specifically, the changes are:

  • Update vWii guide to link to the formatting guide instead of a direct link to GUIFormat
  • Add note to str2hax informing the user that even if they intend to mod without an SD card, they will need one for future steps
  • Update Wilbrand to have a link to the formatting guide
  • Include additional info to the FAQ about formatting SD cards, as well as remove some outdated info
  • Make it clearer in the Key Information section that cards must be formatted

(I also threw in a teeny change in the Wii Backup Fusion page)

::: warning

For stock Wii Menu versions lower than 4.0, a limitation in the Wii system software prevents SD cards bigger than 2GB from being used.

For stock Wii Menu versions 4.0 or higher, this limitation is removed and SD cards of various sizes can be used.

Your highest chance of getting a working SD card on any Wii is at sizes 32GB or lower, but success has been reported various times on cards ranging up to 256GB.

I felt this paragraph entirely unnecessary -- we have seen countless examples of people having success with cards greater than 32GB at this point.
