Hacking Compatible Micro sd cards

[chuckfan7]

I am going to upgrade my micro sd card for my acekard 2i and i was wondering if anyone knows if the new samsung ultra and the sdhc plus cards are compatible. is there a type of card that is the best for the acekard 2i.

thanks

Samung is a great brand, as for a type of card that is best for the acekard, then i would suggest a microSD which has a Class rating of 6.

I use Transcend Class 6 and have no issues with freezing or slowdowns.

Compatibility's not really an issue with flash carts anymore (if it's a properly-functioning MicroSD/HC it'll work), the concern is the read speed (since carts need a lot more of it than most things). This means you should aim for a card that's built better, this usually mean a class-4 or class-6 (opposed to a cheaper class-2).

Suggested brands are usually Sandisk, Transcend, and A-Data.

i'll suggest the transcend as well. i have a few 8 gb class-6 transcends and love them. i haven't had any issues with them.

Thanks guys. What about class 10's are they any better or doesnt it really matter.

If you're paranoid about getting one that's decent, sure, but otherwise no benefit.

You will find Class 6 does the job well.

Always try to find micro sd cards "Made in Japan"...that's the best advice I can give you.

So your saying that the read speed depends on class types not the capacity size?How can you determine the class? I have a 4GB Kingston micro SD card running on a DSTTi and it takes a minute for most games to load.

Class determines the write speed, but higher-class cards are generally made better and that means better read speeds too. Capacity's not really linked anymore.

Look at the MicroSD, the number inside the circle (2/4/6/8/10) is the class.

I use Sandisk and have had little issue with them. Kingston's seem to wear out after a short time and have issues - I have replaced three of them in the last couple of years and do not buy them any more.
