It's definitely an SDHC, it says on the back. So weird though that it's SDHC and that small. I'll find you an Amazon link of a compatible SD Card. You can use any SD card once you get done with the Bathaxx, but til then you need a non-HC and non-XC card.

and yeah, it was in the Wii U SD Card slot while i did it, and it is 2gb or under, and it says SD on my receipt, on the packaging and on the front of the card

and is there a more legit way of telling whether it's SD or not, like in the properties dialog box or something? because everywhere i checked to make sure i had the right card said that it was an SD Card

History lesson time! :D
So, the reason Bathaxx and other hacks are so picky about the SD card is because back when they were released, there weren't different types of SD cards, there was just... SD Card. Then shortly after, SD High Capacity, or SDHC, hit the scene, boasting 4 whole GB of storage and higher.

Now we have SDXC, I guess for "XTREME" capacity or something, idk. But ya, I've always though all 2GB and under SD cards were just regular SD. You have a 2GB SDHC card. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's why it isn't working. If you bought at a local store, you should return it. Most places will let you return even with the opened packaging.

alright that makes sense, but will they really let me return it? i mean i've already used it. Is it good for return if i format it?
CJB100

A) Yes, they should let you return it. SDHC are good for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of (quick) formats.
B) I wouldn't tell them that you've used it when you return it. Just tell them you took it out of the packaging and saw that it was labeled SDHC on the back, and you can't use it because of that, which is really all true.

alright and are there any other specific cards that were confirmed to work?
CJB100

I'm sure there are, but I don't know them off hand. I would use Amazon to confirm. Just search for a really small card, like 1GB, since we now know not all 2GB cards are non-HC. And then look at the Q&A sections of any cards that interest you and see if anyone has used it to hack a Wii / vWii with.

No problem, let me know if you hit any more roadblocks, I am more than happy to help.

I just remembered that my little sister had an SD Card with her 3ds, will that work?
CJB100
CJB100
Maybe. If it's 2GB or less and doesn't have the SDHC logo anywhere on it, then it shoud.

It can depending on the use, but typically no. And it definitely shouldn't matter for batthax or any other exploit.

Hang on actually

Eh, why not spend $5 extra and get the one I linked? The one you're looking at is from China, it's prolly an SDHC in disguise. From what I understand class was not widely used until SDHC was introduced.

Jaime Hilaire
Cuz it's my cousin buying it and he'said more familiar with eBay than amazon, so he suggested that one

Alright, but. If it happens to not work, don't say I didn't warn you! :)
