RUMOR - More talk of Wii U storage space, hard drive options
- until the V4 dev kit, the system had 8GB of flash memory to store your applications
- 512MB of separated flash was used to store the OS
- for quite some time, developers only had access to the SD slot, with the flash memory being inaccessible
- there will be a hard drive option, but it will not be mandatory
- Dev kits have a hard drive
- this is to store the projects studios are working on
- foreign devs knew there would be external hard drive support, but didn't know the specifics
- USB may be 2.0 instead of 3.0
- Nintendo may have their own branded hard drive option
- "V5" dev kits don't increase the flash memory
- for most of last year, devs were using the dev kit HDD or their host PC, as they didn't have access to the flash memory
- devs can now emulate Wii U discs digitally
Thanks to LegendofZelda1996 for the heads up!
