Hacking Anyone using a 16GB MicroSDHC with Cyclo?

[CoconutCake]

Has anyone been using a 16GB MicroSDHC with a Cyclo yet?

What brand/class did you buy, and how well does it work? Do you get lag or freezing issues?

Sandisk seems to be the only brand I can find, and I don't know what class it is. But 16GB seems amazing, especially of you want to combine games and media together on one big card.

But maybe a Transcend 8GB MicroSDHC is enough. I heard the 8GB Transcends are very good and at Newegg they're really cheap too.

I've been using a 16GB Sandisk class4 micro-sdhc (made in Taiwan) ok now for a few weeks on CycloDS 1.51 FW.
Made a lot of directories on it and put my games in, converted my old DS-X saves.
Also just got my EZ 3-in-1 slot2 card and can now play GBA titles 100% ok (old Castlevania's)

The amount of storage is pretty insane, have 40 games on it only using 3GB (!)
Have had no problems so far

Good to hear it works well. Yeah it's a lot of storage. I guess it holds more games than I would ever really want. Maybe I'll get an 8GB instead when I finally buy a new flash cart.

hey its XMas spoil yourself with the 16GB, you could like put a 1000 GBA ROMs on it ;-P
That EZ 3-in-1 slot2 card is the bizz, just been playing CV Aria of Sorrow again and it works perfectly and my GBA save goes in the directory on the micro-sdhc card woo! Man this CycloDS cart + EZ 3-in-1 blows away my old DS-X

If your looking for cards, stick for 4 or 6, and I'd say use 8 tops, unless you plan to use your DS for media or reading a lot of stuff (like comics)

Isn't there still the limit of 128 or 256 files in a directory? So eventually we might have to categorize games on MicroSDHCs?

 

[JabbaFlap]

I think there's ~ 128 file limit in directories inc root. I categorise by company like GBA, Konami, Sega etc

Yea, I think 8 gb is enough, unless you are adding your whole music library, or some movies.

 

[Meatbrain]

I have about 10 gb of music in total. Unless you do, I would recommend just an 8gb.
