I recently bought a used Wii U for hacking. I installed Tiramisu and everything fine (following this guide), but I had to use my 3DS's SD card because the new one I bought wasn't working.
Problem: Wii U says the card cannot be used. EnvironmentLoader says it couldn't locate payload.elf (even though it's there).
This is the SD card I bought: According to Nintendo the Wii U doesn't support UHS cards:
The card was formatted using guiformat. FAT32, 32KB allocation size. Before using it with the console, I tested it with h2testw and got this worrying result:
However, the defective area is pretty small. Is this fine? I tried googling around but didn't get a definitive answer.
I just want to know whether I bought the wrong card, or just a defective one, or if the issue is something else entirely. Pls halp!

This is the SD card I bought: According to Nintendo the Wii U doesn't support UHS cards:
Is this why it doesn't work? Most cards nowadays are UHS it seems.SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 2 GB and SDHC memory cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB are compatible.
SDXC and fast-transfer UHS-type memory cards are not compatible.
