Hey guys,

So yesterday my Sandisk micro sd card died on me. I'm going to buy a new one today but I'm debating wether I should get another Sandisk micro sd card or maybe get a Kingston micro sd card. The only reason I'm considering the Kingston micro sd card is do to its price. These are my two options:

256 gig Kingston (80 MB/s read, 10MB/s write) for $69
200 gig Sandisk (90 MB/s read, 48MB/s write) for $69

Both of these micro sd cards are class 10 UHS-I

Is anyone using a Kingston sd card? And if so, how's its speed?
Has anyone used both? And if so, did you notice any differences?

I have used kingston, sandisk, Toshiba and Samsung.
Honestly speaking, real life performance is hardly noticeable.

My class 10 UHS-3 Toshiba 128GB is slightly faster than the Class 10 UHS-1 200GB.

I woudnt have noticed the difference if my brother and I werent playing the same game side by side.

Cool, good to know, thanks!

I read that the switch only has a max read for UHS-I micro sd cards, so there's no point to buy the ultra fast micro sd cards

Im using 256 gig Kingston (80 MB/s read, 10MB/s write) ExFat format and it is considerably OK in my case. It crashes sometimes like 5-6 times in the last two months(I use my switch for 6-8 hours everyday) but it doesn't corrupt the memory card. though I had an experience where I corrupt the whole memory card because I tried installing homebrew apps like retroarch.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
