Hi,

So a few weeks ago I bought a 2GB Micro SD Card on ebay for an original R4. After testing it turned out to be a fake only able to store arround 200MB. I got my money back and could keep the card so I made a 200MB Partition and used it like that.

Tooday I was in familly, and I spoke with one of my little cousin about MicroSD cards, and he actually had a 2GB Card. I had a 4GB one with me so we swapped them as the 4GB I had was unused anyways and a 2GB would be usefull for the R4 instead of the fake. The card he gave me had no brands but I tested it and it is a true 2GB card.

Back home I copy all the R4 files on it and put it in. But the R4 doesn't pass the "Loading" screen. Tring with my laptop reader (Because unlike my other readers it can detect if the card is SD or SDHC) it shows that the card is SDHC... To be sure I tested with the fake 2GB that works and it correctly detects it as SD.

Now I'm wondering, are 2GB SDHC cards common or was I just unlucky here ? I tought SDHC was for cards 4GB or bigger... I may buy another 2GB card on the future to replace the fake I currently have on that R4 but, how to be sure it will not be SDHC ? Toughts ?

likely its another fake sd . . . originally a 2 gb formatted to look bigger then restored improperly . . . run this on it and it should restore the original size and format

    rice video is really fast, there are some games i still use it for because they are problematic with gliden64 and other plugins dont run the game properly
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    well maybe just one game. mystical ninja starring goemon
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    something about that game causes slowdown issues with most gpu plugins, even with rice video if i dont use the right settings

    @BigOnYa AutoRCM here too with hekate as reboot to payload. Only time I need to push a payload is going from sysMMC back to emuMMC. But its just plug it into my phone and a second later I'm all set. I have all of my games with online features on sysMMC. Like Mario Kart, Mario Party games, etc.

    @The Real Jdbye, yeah, I wanted to play it but it ran like shit

    i think you just need to turn framebuffer emulation off in rice video and it fixes the slowdown

    @imafsiry, There should be a guide somewhere on GBAtemp.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    An app exists for Android called Rekado which is a payload injector for the RCM exploit to work. Don't know if it's still active.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @imafsiry, What method? Phone or RCM Loader?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You just install Rekado to your phone and then plug your Switch into your phone when it's in RCM mode. Rekado should automatically pop up on your phone and ask which payload you want to send.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You can also set it to auto launch the payload of your choice so no user input is even necessary.

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    thats what i use also. works better if you launch hekate from rekado as you won't need to update the payload

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    as hekate launches the latest payload on the sd card (unless the sent payload is newer)
