How to Calculate the Size of Files Saved on Your Wii in Megabytes

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Learn the formula: FSM=(512÷THB)×FSB

   You must do this by looking at the bottom-left of the screen when you open 'data management' in Wii Settings.
   
   This tells you the amount of empty space.
   
   Go through each game save and channel save and add their amount of blocks to this total empty amount. , Use a calculator, divide 512 by the total amount of blocks.
   
   This amount is what one block is equal to in megabytes (remember, it must be 512 ÷ the total blocks, if you do total blocks ÷ 512 it will work out wrong).
   
   Multiply this number by the amount of blocks the file is worth (for example, Internet Channel=250x(one block)). ,

   Step 2: where FSM is the total file size in MB

   Step 3: THB is total hard disk capacity in blocks

   Step 4: and FSB is file size in blocks.

   Step 5: Determine the total amount of blocks on your Wii's hard disk.

   Step 6: You should now have the total amount of blocks on the Wii's hard disc.
