Hacking did i buy a good DS card?

[jimmyemunoz]

I bought this TF card: ADATA 8GB microSDHC Class@6

Thanks to you all for the help!

You're welcome. That is a great micro sd card, and you wont have problems with it. You can always keep the default settings that Panasonic SD Formatter v3.1 uses. You should also know, asking questions here was a great idea because flash card manufacturer websites usually don't have the best, nor the clearest, instructions. F.Y.I., FAT is used for 512MB-2GB cards, whereas 4-32GB is formatted in FAT32 (I'm speaking about SD cards only).

so if i format my 8GB microSD card in FAT format,
my PC will detect it as if it was only a 4GB microSD card?

because if so,
i still dont get why Panasonic SD Formatter v3.1
wont format to FAT32!!

I can't just loose 4GB like that...
I need my space for ROMS...
i dont get it :/

There's FAT16, and FAT32.

If there's no number, then it means FAT32.
