Gaming Pokemon SuMo: cartridge vs digital,which is faster?

[aos10]

Hi
I just got my physical version of Pokemon Moon,very happy with it.
I already downloaded the digital version from the freeshop
So I transferred my save from that version to the physical version.
(PS,physical version is 0 not 0.0.0)

First thing i found when saving in physical version it take double the time then then digital version.

I am really shocked,there was no difference in time in Pokemon ORAS.

did they used bad chip?

System i am using : n3DS XL A9LH luma3ds 6.6 sysnand 11.2.

I think its just your DS or maybe your Cartridge. Because my Moon saves within a Second or 2

it shouldn't really be noticably different, however, saving time in pokemon has always been a little different depending on how much you change stuff around.
at least to me it always felt like it needed a second or two more when i moved stuff in the pc a lot

Have you tried the digital version?
I am not saying it take long time,maybe 1-2 Seconds.
But comparing to digital version,it take half of that time.

First, is it really that important? Saving time of a mere half a second more? Nothing too much
My suns cartridge saves in 1.5 seconds.

My friends digital version saves in about 4 ish seconds and he has the newest 3DS

My old 3ds digital takes half a second if that

I just made a test
Physical version on non modded and another modded n3ds : 2.7 seconds saving.

Digital version on cfw n3ds: 1.7 second.

Maybe you have a really fast (µ)SD card

Maybe,but i just compared ORAS with my physical copy,i can't see any difference.

 

[dimmidice]

digital version here. 1.9seconds. Which seems like a long time but it's really lightning fast.

Any difference is not noticeable if you don't time it.

Well,i noticed it the first time i fired my physical version and felt it takes long enough,it shouldn't take 1 second more because it save on the NAND of the game it self.

I think that Nintendo uses slower flash memory to save costs.

Most of the time, high-quality (µ)SD cards are faster than Nintendo's game carts (both read and write).

New 3DS Digital here : It saves in an instant (probably less than 0.5 second).

Go play Heart Gold on an original cartridge, then tell me Sun and Moon take a long time to save

DS games always take ages to save,i was impressed about the save in Pokemon XY.
However,if you playing them on DS flash cart it will be much faster.

To be honest on my Moon cart it only takes a second or so to save, i don't really ever remember thinking it's noticeably slower than X/Y, or my friends Eshop version of Sun.

I mean i'd imaging the Eshop version would save quicker on a good quality SD card though.
