Hacking microsd free space to run properly?

I barely have any space left on my MicroSD card, probably around 20 MB. Also 2GB is enough. I just take some games off my MicroSD card and store them on my computer if I want to play them again.

no, i have about 50 mb free on my micro sd and it runs fine.

You just need enough room left over for the save files, which are tiny (512k each, usually). After that, it's just personal preference.

With lots of games saves I am usually creating I like to keep atleast 20MB free on the card.

2 Gigabytes is good, I keep all my save files on my DS and transfer games when I feel like playing them.
Free space doesn't really matter except you need save files. Make sure you trim your games for more space

Okay, first of all it's not the CycloDS Extreme, it's called the CycloDS Evolution.
Saying "Extreme" is sort of taboo here because it reminds us all of the DS-Extreme, the worst flash card that ever existed.

On topic: You don't need 500 MB to keep it running smoothly. I'd say 50-100 MB is enough for all your saves (512KB each) and real-time saves (which take up a whopping 5MB each), and to keep your CycloDS running smoothly. If you experience any lag however, most probably when you enter the in-game menu, then that means it's time to clean out your MicroSD.

Daah,
I didn't know any of this lol

i have CycloDS Evo + 4 gb sdhc and i have under 5mb left ^.^
Everything seems to run fine however,
as i already have save files for all my games
the only noticeable difference is that whenever it starts a little message pops up saying i should free up some space.
But yeah, everything seems to be fine [:
