Three Questions: Goldeneye, 3.3, FAT/16 on a Mac?

Okay, so first off, I have a mac. Yes, an iMac. Now, I don't technically have a PC. I can't run bootcamp on MY Mac. But, if I ABSOLUTLY NEED TO, I think my father might let me use his mac for boot camp for this. So, it says my SD card needs to be FAT or FAT 16 formatted. On a mac, how is this done?
Now, my Wii is running the 3.3 software. Do I need to downgrade? or has somebody bypassed it?
Lastly, I want to play GoldenEye007. So, what emulator do I need, where do I get goldeneye, and how do I run it. Oh, and last question - goldeneye will work with the classic controller, right?

Thanks everybody.

Please post in the correct forums...

Looked up how to use a mac for formatting... use the command line, and use this:

diskutil partitionDisk /Volumes/NDS 1 MBRFormat "MS-DOS FAT16" "NDS" 1000M



that is:

* /Volumes/NDS: the mount point to partition, could also be /dev/disk1
* 1: the number of partitions
* MBRFormat: the partition format, MBR is the usual default for removable storage
* "MS-DOS FAT16": partition type
* "NDS": partition name
* 1000M: 1000 megabytes (size of the partition, if it is the last, it will span to the end of the drive)


3.3 is fine on your Wii.

Goldeneye is a 64 game right? You can use Wii64, an N64 emu if you can get a goldeneye rom, but 64 emulation has not been perfected as of yet. (And i believe the emu uses the classic controller, however I doubt the game will be playable).
