Hacking M3 Real – what version of card do you have?

[Monster On Strin]

I have cp2 and I dont have problems with any of my games not even castlevania or twewty or anything else

BP3E, and its laggy in quite a few games.

Back of the card is completly barren and flat, no components or gold contacts. No real point in showing it.

I have a BP3E. Seems to be doing just fine.

I have BP3E and only one game doesn't work(The World Ends With You, freezing at first cutscene after frogs, "open-close" fix in this cutscene works for me). Zelda PH works normal(without "download play" option). Castlevania(dos & por) works without any problems. Same thing in tony hawk's(pg & as). Everything with 3.7e firmware(same on hacked sakura 1.11 sp1).

i have a CPE and everything except daigasso! Band Brother DX worked flawlessly, no slowdowns on POR or DOS Zelda PH worked perfectly as well as every game i have thrown at it

i have BP3E and cant play twewy and castlevania dos. surprisingly castlevania por runs perfectly with me jamming the start button like crazy once in a while to see it will freeze. using a-data class 6 4gb.

Just got the M3DS Real Perfect bundle and it's a BP3E. I bought two cheap Kingston MicroSD cards from newegg, a 1GB and a 2GB. The 1GB card (Taiwan manuf.) experienced freezing with Cooking Mama 2, but the 2 gig card (made in JAPAN) hasn't had a single hiccup. This is consistent with what I've read elsewhere, don't know if the same applies to those fancy new high-capacity cards y'all keep talking about, but if I were a betting man... I figure it's like optical media; made in Japan = good, made in Taiwan = losing all your data in as little as six months, a couple of years if you're lucky. Even with TWEWY...no problems with those frogs I keep hearing about, it just plain works.

Mostly using the smaller card for GBA, so the slower transfer speed won't really matter. It did play the Portrait of Ruin vid perfectly, if that counts for anything(?).

I'm happy with it.

Mine is a BP3E and i also got the perfect bundle xD. Mines runs everything fine. I got a 1gb micro (taiwan) which i used for my r4 and its been working for oevr a year now with no probs and fast transfer. I got a new 4gb sandisk for my real

Well, I was curious, as from my own experience stuff made in Taiwan is typically vastly inferior to that produced in Japan. So I ran HDTach with both cards and got the following results:

Kingston 1GB MicroSD (Taiwan)
Average Read: 9.6MB/s
Burst Speed: 9.7MB/s
Sequential Read Speed: 9.7MB/s (drops to ~9.3MB/s near the end)

Kingston 2GB MicroSD (Japan)
Average Read: 17.5MB/s
Burst Speed: 18.1MB/s
Sequential Read Speed: 17.5-18MB/s

I knew there would be a difference, but not that much! No write tests with the free version of HDTach, but write speed is only important (as it pertains to these forums and our purposes therein) for transferring roms & stuff onto the card prior to use. The only writing being done during any game I've played is the save file, which is relatively tiny.
On a similar note, I also did some reading about the SDHC cards and their class ratings (transfer speed). Every source I found stated that the class rating referred only to minimum write speed. Which is very nice if you're sick & tired of waiting for your digital camera to write the damn picture to the card already so you can shoot another. But, the truly important factor regarding usage in a DS is the read speed. At least this is what I gather from simple logic. If the data on your MicroSD can't be fed to the DS fast enough ("real-time"), it won't matter what version of M3 or anything else you're using.

no, the deciding factor is the random access time. Data streaming to the slow DS port is fast enough on nearly any card, but finding the data in the first place is where problems can occur.
