Sure. First, you most likely need an USB SD adapter. You can get those at Radioshack, bestbuy, Staples (probably), etc.

SD adapters that are built into a computer are not standard, so since you most likely don't have one (I don't mean to sound rude, I just can't rephrase that, lol), you might need to grab one. A simple USB SD adapter will run about $20 (But it can be hard to find a basic adapter like that these days) Others, which would most likely be combos of different memory card adapters (XD, SD, mini SD, micro SD, etc), will run from $30 - $70 if I'm not mistaken.

Hope this helped!

I think it's simply about having the file stored in an sd card, so I don't hink it matters how it gets there... There are a number of ways you can try to get the file onto an SD card without an adaptor for your PC.

My PC doesn't have a card slot, so I used my cell phone to do the job.

It worked perfectly fine for me, so maybe you can try it. I don't know what kind of memory card your cell phone uses, but if it's SD, you can probably try this trick.

I don't know a lot about phones, but I have a Motorola KRZR. It uses a micro SD card (a really tiny card) as a memory card and it came with an adapter (which is a size of a regular sd card).

All I had to do was:

1. Plug my phone in my PC using the USB cable,

2. Store the file in it, (the phone's memory card is accesible through "My Computer" as one of the storage devices)

3. Unplug my phone from the PC and turn it off,

4. Open the phone's casing at the back to get the micro sd card,

5. Attach the micro to the "adaptor" (which is basically just a size of a regular sd card)

6. And pop that in the Wii.

Another trick you can do is through a camera. Most digital cameras use an SD card for a memeory card. So if you have a cam that uses SD cards, then you can simply use the camera and its USB cable. I haven't tried this one personally, but I know people have and it certainly sounds efficient.

Just remember that the SD cards on your [phone, camera or what have you] are accessible as a storage device on your computer.

If none of these work, then yes, you may have to purchase an USB SD adapter as Thesimsdude advises.
