They fit in the Vita perfectly like a normal Gamecard.
These Chinese Adapters are mostly manufactured with Laser Soldering and they arent tested so it's likely that you will get bad Solderjoints.

The R/W Speeds are probably the same ^^

Thanks for answering.
I can fix the bad solder joints. Might get some to test myself.

This is nice, I jsut kind of shoved mine into the slot, it would be ideal if they engage the spring loaded mechanism. Cause otherwise I'll be prying mine out with a knife.

Ok, here's the one I boght: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Version2-0-SD2VITA-PSVSD-Micro-SD-Adapter-for-PS-Vita-Henkaku-3-60-for-All-Cards/112528330193?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=412915828929&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It arrived after only 7 days, but I still haven't got the 64gb microSD card (it's Samsung EVO, and I am praying it's not fake :(, payed it 27$ on ebay).

I took a few pics, a comparison with original Vita gamecard, and how it sits in the OLED and slim Vitas. My oled one is legit and on the latest FW, my slim is modded with Enso.
The spring mechanism works as it should, but you have to fiddle a bit to take out the adapter completely (it's like 1-2 seconds of fiddle it left and right while lightly pulling out), also when you put in the sd card (i have one 4gb just for testing, but I didn't set it up on Vita, is there a way to test the adapter without too much work?) you mustn't press it in, you just need to get it to spring in the microSD reader on the adapter (don't know the word for this :D :D).
Because it happens that when you press the adapter to sit in the Vita the mSD will pop out, and then you try to pop in the mSD, the adapter will pop out. So, you need to press it when they are both out, and the they will both sit flush in ;)
It protrudes a tiny bit, and you can't close the gamecard compartment all the way. On the slim it protrudes much less, but on OLED it protrudes quite a bit.
This is only problem if you use hadngrips like I do (on the slim there is no problem with with this, at least for me).
Here are the pics I took:

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
