Hacking Adata MicroSD owners?

[magikalfly]

Hey. I was just reading around some and found out that the Adata super microsd cards are the only other cards, besides the Kingmax microsd, which use SLC-Single Level Cell to achieve faster performance.

I read on GBAtemp that Danny, from M3, recommended a Kingmax or PNY microsd to ensure Castlevania POR runs smoothly. I couldn't find out anything about PNY card speeds but the Kingmax is suppose to be 10.5MB/s Max read and 8.9MB/s Max write.

Any Adata super owners care to try running some benches or tell us about POR crashing or not?

Sidenote, someone should compile a list of microsd cards and info from users such as speeds, made in, crashing or slowdowns in games.


Edit: Anybody? If anyone with an Adata super card tells me POR works perfectly, I'm just going to buy it this minute...

Edit: F* it. I just ordered a Ritek Ridata 1GB from meritline. They're suppose to be 115x high speed cards so we'll see.

Nope, A-data 1GB or Higher doesnt work with it. But supposedly the 512MB works. KingMAX, PNY, Kingston (Made In Japan), Toshiba(Made IN Japan) Cards are the ones that work with it.

I use an A-data 1gb and get frequent lockups in COR

Here's some benches using the long test on HDTach.

Castlevania DoS intro doesn't lag.

edit: Tried PoR, it freezes when I spam start at Wind

A-Data Super 1GB MicroSD

T-Flash Reader (came with R4, crappy)
Burst: 4.2MB
Avg: 4.1MB
Random Access: 2.6ms

EagleTec Reader (another free crappy one)

Random Access: 1.9ms

SanDisk Imagemate 12 in 1 (a good reader)
Burst: 10.5MB

I also tested my SD card. I dunno why. Maybe it'll be useful to some people.

comapro, mind posting in my MicroSD info thread? It'd be good to get some more info to make the list bigger.
