Wow some serious hostility there BoFoSho, it is not typically how we roll around here and I do not see Yepi69 as being especially out of line. Unhelpful... sure but not deserving of an earful.

The fact remains microSD to miniSD adapters, while theoretically should be perfectly functional, have serious issues with the EZ4 and may be said to be incompatible/have compatibility issues with the EZ4, it is possibly a somewhat odd use of the term but not grammatically unsound. Indeed I would probably say every issue that is not a minor software quibble, one of the many oddities with the EZ4 software or "probably should have read the FAQ/wiki" is "yeah guys I tried a micro to mini adapter" to the point that such an issue noted everywhere the EZ4 usually gets support.

I would also like to know who edited Yepi69's first post and my quote of it.
I know how forums run as well so could the person who did that please P.M. me? ;)

I have the old posts still up and they do not match :lol:

Yea I would have to echo the same mention of the whole adapter thing messes with the ez4 through personal experience so I got a few known brand legit 2gb minisd's and rolled with those

Pin rerouting or whatever, it's still an additional place where failure can occur. I know my Wii suddenly decided to stop working right with my micro to SD adapter, even though the Wii still works perfectly with regular SD and the micro adapter still works fine in my computer.

My adapter is Kingston, not some knockoff, came with the micro SD I use in it. Should it work in the Wii? Yes. Does it? Nope.

Are you Yepi's Boyfriend? You two make a cute couple.
Your post as written is trying to say that his MicroSD was fried, correct?
Too bad that is a false statement, it is possible to fry any SD card but Epicelite has not given proof of this in anyway. Even if the adapter lined up the pins incorrectly there is a low chance of frying the card(By low I mean less than 50% chance)

Like you Boyfriend, you need to come with proof to back up your statements.
Have a lovely day friend!

The mods are gonna love your double posting, not to mention you're really butthurt by posting a lot about me, get over it dude, fighting over dumb things like this is pointless but couldn't expect less from newbs, I really don't have solid proof, but then again you don't have solid proof that microSD (with miniSD adapter) and EZ4 don't have issues.
Stay with the topic and shut it.

Would be nice if one could more easily find miniSD cards given the fact that they have been discontinued for a while...

I refuse to shop on Ebay. Never heard of Deal Extreme before. Are they reliable? Are all their products new or do they also sell used ones? Looks like there are some bootleg products on there too...

Deal extreme were once the main destination for flash carts (mainly as they sold at Chinese prices with free shipping), after paypal began to crack down and they realised they were doing more business selling cheap junk and other Chinese electronics they axed flash carts and moved into that. For that sort of thing you will get it, it will be cheap Chinese tat with a whole load of annoyances (which is what they claimed it would be and given the alternatives tend to cost a fortune I am not complaining) but you will get it. As far as flash memory goes though eh.. I will leave it as I will not be surprised in the slightest to get a fake.
As for ebay if you do change your mind (and I certainly will not blame you for avoiding ebay, I do the same) then avoid anywhere in China, Hong Kong or the neighbouring regions.

cards do go bad and corrupt, luckily they are dirt cheap

Sometimes cards do go corrupt, yes. I had a 1gig SD that was extremely corrupted, and I had to format over and over again to get it to work.

After that, you could only store like 1/4 to 1/2 of the capacity until it gives an error and the files become uneditable.

Just get a new card. That's what I did. 2gig only costs like 10 dollars, some bundles for 2 2gigs like 15.
