Can't really have a professional review without a description of the packaging.

Anything more than "It comes in box" is excessive.... if the packaging somehow caused damage to the product, or caused cancer of the anus or something it'd be worth mentioning. The box's level of perceived shininess is a bit of a non-factor in a review of a backup cart.

TBH. The current generation of carts are so similar there isn't much point writting verbose reviews about them. Compatibility = Good, Max card size = XXGb, Build Quality = Shit would do.

And thats why you aren't a GBAtemp reviewer. Details make the difference between an only decent review, and an exemplary one.

I found the review biased.
While I think that opinion is a good thing in a review (when stated as opinion), there needs to be a standard to which all reviews stick to. None of the other reviews praise saving directly to the MicroSD as highly (if at all) as you have in this review.
Overall, a good review, sans the afforementioned fault.

Ok, here's my application to be a GBAtemp reviewer... This is my review on a bottle of juice I just drank.


Kirin's Junsui Budou (Translation; Much happiness tasty juice of large grape) comes in a fantastically shiny bottle. If you're attracted to shiny things like myself you are sure to love this product for the bottle alone! You may even keep it in your family collection to show future generations!!! Aside from that the bottle is a rare transparent colour that allows you to actually see what's on the otherside of the bottle without moving it. I think this a very clever design.

The contents of the bottle, in line with most current juices, is a liquid of a drinkable consistency. However, it has the unique quality of being grape flavoured; Yes you heard right! It tastes like grapes! I was just as shocked as you are to find out that a drink with grapes all over the label is in fact grape flavoured.

i have this card in my hand and i have been using a lot over the past 24 hours. All i can say is WOW. This card is amazing. The first time you load a game it takes about the same amount of time as the R4 or other cards. The second time and each time after that is where the loading time gets fast. Some games can load in 1 second, others take a few, but overall the loading is the fastest i have ever seen and i own every flashcart. the build quality is very nice however i do not like the fact there is no screws to take the cart apart. it is spring loaded and im hoping this wont be a problem like the R4's spring was. Another thing to note is that the microSD reader is the worst i have ever seen. It will fit very very tight in your PC usb slot, but the really scary moment was when i couldnt get my MicroSD card out of the reader. I pretty much had to take apart the reader to get the microSD out. It that bad! My card was also rumble/ramless so i cant test out those features. I never thought i would say this but i think i may give away my R4 and switch to the TTDS. I should note that im using a very early Sandisk MicroSD HC card as well as a kingston 4GB Class 4 MicroSD. Both perform flawlessly. When i first heard about this card i figured it would be just another mediocore flashcart but man was i wrong. I will try 6 and 8 gb microsd later this week. I also had a 114 *.nds files on the card and it didnt choke like my early chinese M3 Real would if there were too many files in a directory.

Your description of the grape flavoring was quite lacking. Better luck with your satire endeavors in the future.

Agreed.

This sounds like a decent card, I will hurry up on my entry for the Christmas Competition.
