ACEKARD SD - DATABASE

I would like to maintain a database of SD cards used on the Acekard
I have made a start. Good or Bad post yours here

Most SD cards will work fine but if you'd really like to create a list than you can go ahead I guess.

Polaroid - P-SDU8GB4-FS/POL - Class: 4, Taiwan - 8GB - Fry's Electronics/USA - 9 - Doesn't work with Pokemon B/W. Yet.

My MicroSD´s tested with HDTach and a Kingston MicroSD-reader.

So far everyone responding looks to be having no issues. Where are all the people who have been filling the threads with tales of woe?

If you read through the forums you would think the acekard SD issues are widespread. I have a feeling the reality is there are just a vocal minority who are having issues, everyone else appears to be fine.

I think the problematic ones are Class 2s, like CalleMan's.

i'm using a class 2 samsung 16gb on my xl without any significant problems.
the patched eo3 occasionally freezes, but that seems to be more of a contact issue prevented by pulling the cart out a bit.

I just tested my two SanDisc Micro SD's that I'm using with Akaio.

Both are Class 2, one 16 GB, one 8 GB. Both have ~14,5 MB reading speed.

Tested with "h2testw_1.4".

I never had a problem with them on Akaio, but they are causing truble with M3 (oh well, what doesn't cause truble with M3...).

i have a sandisk class 2 8gb, the only problem i had is that games take longer to load the first time of play. after that, games load normally

That's because the first time you boot a game it has to write a save file.

 

[iluvfupaburgers]

lol, then there is no problems
