Do you guys think that I should save some money to get a 64GB Class 10 SD card I saw at CostCo or should I get the MicroSD one that comes with an adapter? They're both $25, SanDisk, and I just want a different SD Card to use on my 3DS than my current 4GB Class 1.
So, what I also need to know is if the Old 3DS supports MicroSD adapters...

A Class 10 or a U3, Class 10? I'd get the one with the adapter because it can be used later on for other things. That's I did with my multi SD cards. So, I'd go with the adapter personally.

Edit. Wow, missed a whole conversation it seems. I will leave mine up.

MicroSD adapters are nothing more than a way to get the pins to a new place -- there is no electronics or anything.

Amazon might also be cheaper than costco, unless they offer better in store than their US site is presently listing. Those Samsung cards have been on offer in various places for a while now; I got one for $20 USD back in January and that is UK prices.

Anyway the microSD for the same price tend to be slightly slower in writing and a few other metrics than full fat SD cards. In this case though you will probably need a fancy high end camera to tell the difference and both will likely be streets ahead of your current setup, said setup likely never being able to get the most out the class 10 stuff you are looking at (it is cheap so no sense in going for slower gear).

You can always go a store with a Coinstar (or similar) they let you get Gift Cards with cash no matter how low the price. If not possible, then 25$ seems to be like the best price for now if you can't find anything cheaper.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
