Hacking Best Micro SD for M3 Lite

[tama_mog]

Probably, the two sandisks were in a Motorla RAZR before this... hehe, oops... I think I'll reformat them now >.>

when formatting, is it best to use fat32 or fat16?

Per my post @ m3-forums:

"fat32 starts gba games quicker using A instead of start....that's the only advantage I see so far but I only play games and don't watch videos.

Fat16 with 64k cluster size is the best format from what I've experienced and it seems to be the consensus for DS games. With a regular sandisk microsd (2 gig) I get a perfect 5 (looks exactly like it is on g6 and supercard) on the castlevania test with the new firmwares v27+. But like I said gba games you have to hit start to start the game instead of A and wait a bit while it loads."

I´ve been using a Kingmax 512MB MicroSD and have worked flawlessly!
Castlevania intro test 5/5 with card formated FAT16 (default size cluster).
I´ll update the M3 Wiki Media Card Compatibility List.

ok, i might switch to fat 16. i've only got my m3 lite, and i've only used around 100 meg of my 1 gig card... so it's better to format now rather than later.

Unfortunately, I don´t know where to buy it.

What about a 2gb Sandisk? Does it lag at any point like the Castlevania intro? If so what about a standard 1gb Sandisk? And if not that what about a 1GB Ultra II Sandisk? I heard they work the best but if the standard 1GB works without lag on any ROMS then I will buy that rather than shell out an extra 10 quid for the Ultra II.

Oh, and anywhere in the U.K where I can get a 1GB that comes with a Micro SD to SD adapter? I don't want to buy one separately....
