The front of the console features an illuminated slot embedded disks that accepts both 12 cm Wii Optical as GOD. The blue light in the disc slot illuminates briefly when the console is on and flashes when you receive new data through WiiConnect24. After the firmware update 3.0, the disc slot light activates whenever a disc is inserted or ejected. When there is no WiiConnect24 information, the light stays off. Slot light remains off during a game or when using other features. The two USB ports are on the back. The SD card slot hides behind the cover on the front of the console. SD cards can be used to upload photos, as well as backups of data saved for the games and download games from the Virtual Console. By using the SD slot to transfer the saved games, you must install an update. Updates can be initiated from the Wii options menu through an Internet connection, or by inserting a game disc that contains the firmware update. The Virtual Console is a digital download games which can not be used on any other system except for the home console. SD cards can also be used to add custom music to play, if there are files in the MP3 store. This utility appeared in games such as Excite Truck, and they used as background music for slide show photos of the Canal. Citation needed
