I have an M3DS Simply with a 1 gig kingston (Japan) chip and it work great. But I was thinking of getting my brother in law and M3DS Simply (if they ever come back in stock) and getting a 2 gig chip with it. Has any one has any problems with the 32 gig chips?

Thanks,

Never had a problem with my R4 and 2GiB kingston card, M3S is the same thing so I see no reason why there would be a problem. It's the ones over 2GiB that would be an issue (they are High Capacity SD and use slightly altered protocols).

AFAIK, the largest SDHC currently on the market is 8GiB, though SDHC doesn't work with current M3S/R4.

I've got a 2GB Kingston Japan MicroSD in my M3DS and I've got no problems whatsoever. I would like to know where I can get a 4GB MicroSD. I've only seen the SDHC versions.

The largest MicroSD is 4GB that is NOT labeled with SDHC. The original specification had a maximum of 2GB for non-SDHC microSD, but some companies went rogue and made an "unapproved" non-SDHC 4GB microSD. If M3 Simply were to get SDHC support, then the largest theoretical capacity would be 32GB. As for compatibility and performance with specific ROMs, that is still a mystery. olé

Nope, as far as I know the export out of Canada has to be over 400USD before you start having to worry about it over there. Going the other way is a different story, which kickgaming will probably explain if you ever need to RMA anything.

The largest SD I could find (non-sdhc) is 4GiB. Never did find a TF/microSD of that size (as far as I know, they had them ready but waited on SDHC to be finalized before putting them into production). As far as I can see, the largest non-SDHC TF card is 2GiB.
