Attention all long time owners of the N-Card, DSLinker, Fire Card, etc. I bring curious news.
I own a DSLinker, and have owned it since '06 now. It has served me well. It's only broken down on me...once.
But I think I've discovered something interesting. I've noticed my card lag.
Which is odd, it's never ever lag on any game from the time I bought it to the present. It's not that the game lags through the entire thing but only in certain parts.
The game in question is: Puzzle Series Volume 5: Slitherlink (JPN). An 8MB puzzle game. Of all games, wtf indeed.
On the Most Difficult setting, where you have like 30x20something squares, and you're near completion, the game lags and it's very apparent.
I have a theory. I think read/write speeds decrease after a large amount of writing and rewriting files to the card. Or the speeds decrease as the card starts getting full. These are flash memories only after all. Even SSD read/write speeds decrease without the TRIM feature.
I propose all long time owners to test out my theory. If you are able to, find a copy of PSV5 Slitherlink, create a new game, click the first option, then the lowest option (it should only have 50 puzzles), and try any puzzles from the bottom 3 rows. And report back if you get laggy touch screen input when you're near completion.
