if you are running roms with homebrew channel
you can use any sdhc I use an 8 gig works fine
but the regular wii can only read 2 gig standard sd

No it maxes at 2GB (UNless the 4GB one I have is SDHC and doesn't say it anywhere on the card)

However the Wii will probably get SDHC compatibility down the line with a new update since the TT guys managed to get it to work.

There are 4gb standard sd cards, although they are new, expensive, low quality, rare, and hard to differ from poorly labeled sdhc cards.

It would be cheaper to get a 1gb sd and a 8gb sdhc.

Those work but you need to do this tedious method to get it to work with the Wii. Not TOO tedious. but it may require an hour at most (the FAT reformat). I would suggest the 133x speed one and read up on how to format for the Wii here: The Inclusive 4GB SD Card Workaround . I use this to store my RB2 DLC.

If you're looking for something for the Homebrew Channel ONLY, I would suggest getting an SDHC card.

    The older kids get, the more they swear, regardless. Once you're in middle school, especially.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Eh I'd rather kids mess up in high school like a cop told me once almost old enough for big jail
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    The middle school social playground is the gateway to all sorts of new and exciting language.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I see what you mean. Mess up early so that you can learn hard lessons early?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I was a little rebel thief in my younger days but $500 fines and jail isn't worth it over a $50 item
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Thankfully, I don't think I ever messed up on anything major in life. Started working at 18, with only one large, 2-month gap of unemployment. Never did (hard) drugs, and even my "party phase" was short-lived. Just wasn't it for me. I would often just rather come home from work and play games or watch dumb shit on TV.

    Funny how some people don't even shape up until late 20s almost everyone in my family has some type of court record lol

    In school, though, I was getting Cs, Ds and Fs.

    High school, that is.

    That was out of pure laziness, though. Took school more seriously when I was in college.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    True.

    Honestly, more people should try getting into utility work, anyway. The U.S. could use more plumbers and electricians.

    I love that AI companies are managing to remove humans from the equation. For example, they're planning to add AI to Chrome, or in other words literally command your life, and spy on kids in the NYC DOE
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    We keep talking about our crumbling infrastructure, yet we keep telling kids to go to college to get high-paying jobs.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Instead, we should be promoting choices and bolstering apprenticeship programs.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Ai won't be the end all of humanity every workplace will have a need for humans
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    it can also fill out forms and make YouTube comments and crap. Pretty much, literally removing the human part of "browsing" the web.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I wish schools would teach kids business practices at a early age instead of every basic thing things they'll actually need in life that's always my gripe with public schools

    Not only that, but AI-written articles and pages on websites.
