Is a 32GB 4mb/s old SD card good enough for loadiine games, or is it too slow?

Yeah you're not gonna have a very good time with 4MB/s

I mean, by all means, feel free to try it, but be prepared for the (maybe not so) occasional stutter and pretty insane loading times, depending on what game you're trying
Actually it's class 4, not sure if it's 4 mb/s. I guess I need to check it
 
I'm sorry if this was asked before, but what's the recommended firmware I should be? Or every hack/homebrew is possible in any FW of the Wii U. Take notice that I'm a complete noob in the WiiU scene, I come from the 3DS scene :) and planning on buying a WiiU

It depends on what you want, and when you want it. 5.5.x is the latest firmware. You can go online and use HBL but you can't use any IOSU stuff. Most developers are also on 5.5.
However, if your console comes with a firmware before 5.2, there's a documented IOSU exploit available (CFW, fun stuff etc.) Loadiine works on basically everything now.

Hey guys Loadiine doesn't seem to be creating save files for me once I turn off the game, i've tried it with 4 different games. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is that IOSU exploit in any way similar to the arm9loaderhax of the 3DS?
 
Sounds cool, thank you both!
What is the advantage of using this method?

You're welcome! :) Well basically if you host your own server on your phone you aren't dependent on the internet or any websites to launch homebrew, that's about it :o

I'm not too familiar with 3DS stuff, but I can sum up the IOSU in two words: total control. Without IOSU we don't have a way of having permanent apps/exploits, just temporary injection into existing apps. We also don't get USB or anything like that. IOSU gives total control. Whether that means boot-time exploits, CFWs or stuff like that is still to be seen.
As for your Wii U choice I'd definitely try to get <5.2, but don't worry too much if you can't.
