As long as they're formatted to FAT 16 (FAT) or FAT 32, most SD cards should work for you. Smaller SD cards (smaller than 256MB) may or may not work - some operating systems aren't too good when formatting them, and so the Wii (or the homebrew) won't be able to detect them. An SD card smaller than 32MB will almost definitely not work. SDHC cards will work on more updated Wiis, and might work on ones without the later updates (but only in homebrew) - try and see. If you are still unsure which type of card to use, this page may help you: [[SD/SDHC Card Compatibility Tests]].

System Menu 4.0 and its successors have rendered the Twilight Hack useless. Bannerbomb is currently the only exploit that works on a System Menu of 4.0 or higher. It is also capable of working on every system menu. Also, some people feel that it is easier to use then the Twilight Hack. Finally, it does not rely on owning a specific game.

Make sure the Homebrew Channels boot.dol file is in the root of your SD card. If that still does not solve your problem, try a different SD card. Some SD cards are simply not compatible with the Twilight Hack. Smaller SD cards (smaller than 256MB) may or may not work - some operating systems aren't too good when formatting them, and so the Wii (or the homebrew) won't be able to detect them. An SD card smaller than 32MB will almost definitely not work. Note: SDHC cards cannot be used to install the Homebrew Channel if the Wii is not updated.

(Unconfirmed): Newer Wiis have different disc drives that do not support the commands that DVDX used to read DVDs. These drives can only read Wii or GameCube games, and there is no way to make them read DVDs.
