So unrelated but does anyone know a good site OR store that sells power supplys 5v dc 1-3 a cable for my usb hub. If I plug in that in my usb hub, it will have enough power to use external hard drives right?

 

[Sicklyboy]

Only if the drive can normally be powered by USB. Not sure where to buy one, but you could always get a USB cable with separated power/data connectors.

^don't worry. my usb hub has a cable hole for it.

I finally decided to get my acekard2i from zhuzhu china and 16g kingsotn class 4 at amazon.com.

Should I stick with this or is there a better combo/deal out there?

 

[kirbymaster101]

So if I order games from amazon.com to canada, I heard it was a fixed amount called international shipping or something like that. How much is it?
I couldn't really figure out but I guess it is 3.99 if i get standard shipping? http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596192

I am quite satisfied with my class 4 sandisk 4GB memory saves faster than a retail cart such as in pokemon with a regular save the wheel does not even get to half and even when the game has to save lots of data the wheel does not even make a full turn.

 

[Sicklyboy]

That's because the class of the card has less to do with the read speed and more so is an indication of the write speed. Generally, higher quality cards will have higher read speeds, but there are class 10 cards with read speeds slower than a class 4, but the write speed (which you don't need for playing DS roms) is obviously faster.

can anyone with any experiences with kingston class 6 16gb any fast. I had one that was class 2 and 4gb and it had CRAP read speed. "Slowe rthan retail ds carts"

Why are you ordering from amazon.com? Why not from amazon.ca: http://www.amazon.ca/Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Edition/dp/B002I0IVC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335139074&sr=8-1

Last Question and Im done with this thread. Is Class 4 good enough it terms of loading and saving faster than retail carts? I want a sdhc card that saves faster that normal ds games like in Pokemon Heartgold when it says "saving a lot of data" it turns the wheel 1 time while the actual retail cart spins the wheel like 4 times. I heard Sandisk is also has better read times than Kingston. Is it true?

Class 4 will save around the same time as a legit cart, even if you get a higher class you won't see it save faster by a huge amount. Ds games barely take anytime to save anyway so don't even bother buying a higher class to save faster just enough so that there are no slowdowns in problematic games.

 

[kirbymaster101]

But I have a sdhc card that saves so much faster its crazy. Its a nokia 8gb micro sdhc lol.

 

[freaksloan]

I use Amazon.com, Amazon.Uk, Gamestop.com,TigerDirect.com and Newegg.com

 

[kirbymaster101]

Is it true that Kingston had poor read speeds? because I found a 16gb class 4 one for really cheap in amazon but considering to buy sandisk because everyone says it has much higher read speeds?

Also, is it normal for items to be shipped from v2watch to not arrive in 2 weeks. Because I ordered a screen protector for my 3ds at april 6 but it still hasnt arrived yet.

Also what does it mean when the site etcome asks for ips payemnt. I want to buy items there with my paypal but I guess they dont support it?

 

[kirbymaster101]

Can someone tell me if I could combine two visa gift cards to purchase things on amazon.com and zhuzhuchina?

 

[Sicklyboy]

Afaik, most places won't let you pay with two different visas. If you can, it's going to have to go through that stores secure payment, not paypal; paypal DEFINITELY doesn't support it.

Hello. One question. Since most of amazon.com videogames dont have international shipping what other cheap site for games is there for Canada?
(Luckily I found one Street fighter 4 at amzon that ships to canada )
