[coral]

ah ok, awesome.... this seems ideal...

link

I'll get this one?

I found a cheaper site.

MicroSD

and they sell CycloDS Evolution MicroDS Adapter for NDS,NDSL(Slot 1) [CYCLODS]

 

[superdude]

you could buy a cyclo for $50 from realhotstuff instaed of paying $79 also you could buy the microsd that you linked before from newegg

I'm thinking I might get the A-Data 8GB Class 6

As far as I know, there isn't any 8GB Class 6 Micro SDHC made by A-Data

I'm not vouching for dealwoot, I haven't actually dealt with them ever before, nor have I heard any good feedback from them other from Neschn (iunno how to spell his name). I only recommend it because it is GBATemp's sponsor now.

Being American, there is nowhere better than newegg. Sad to say I have absolutely zero access to the site.

Continental USA my ass, Canada doesn't count...

I ordered my CDS saturday and it came today, and try newegg. they have very cheap deals.

People have had some problems with the 4GB Class 6 A-Data(longer load time for the enhanced menu, data corruption, short life span). The Transcend 4GB Class 6 card doesn't seem to suffer from any of those problems and can actually be found cheaper than the former. If you go with cheap shipping on NewEgg it's about $16-17.

Longer load time for the Enhanced menu. It might not seem that bad, but when it takes ~4+ seconds to load up the menu compared to 1-2 seconds normally it's absolutely FRUSTRATING. Especially if you utilise RTS a lot. Of course you might receive one that doesn't have this problem, but most people i've seen do have this problem. Go for the transcend 4GB, or the Adata 8GB/Sandisk 8GB (Both class 4, and i've heard the Adata is a rebranded "whatever Sandisk is")

The only first hand experience I have is with the 4GB Kingston Class 4 Japan, no problems and I was using it for 6+ months, using the 8GB Sandisk Class 6 now, should probably stick it back into my camera...

Your MicroSD is too clustered. Try formatting your card and getting rid of the games you don't play any more. This is a problem with any MicroSD, not just the A-DATA 4GB.
