Hacking R4 SDHC

[Fat D]

All you ppl questioning 4gb+ for a DS which does music, videos, games and pictures need to ask themselves: why 80gb for an iPod which is mainly focused on just playing music?

I question the point of that as well.

Because the DS has a tiny screen and crappy sound. You'd be better off grabbing a cheap MP3 player.

Personally, videos on the ds is a gimmick which lasts for 5 minutes. I do not find it enjoyable watching videos on the small screen. Listening to music is understandable but if i see someone listening to music on their ds, I will LOL at them.

I will always prefer a bunch of dedicated devices over one device which does everything at second-rate.

lol dude. I use my DSL for vids and music heaps.

nothing wrong with the screen; 256x192 res isn't bad and it fits all those 4:3 aspect vids nicely.

Music isn' great but hell, i dont feel like buying an mp3 player (my old one broke ages ago).

Not to mention since i have three flashcarts right now (soon to be 4), i may aswell use them to the max.

I used headphones and it sounded good.

EDIT: As OSW said im getting my second flash cart and a 4gb (maybe 8 if i can find one) SDHC card i might aswell use them for what i wanted.

EDIT 2: Nevermind

And to the other guy how is the DS screen too small for viewing videos by yourself, last time i checked the Ipods screen wasnt as big. As a matter of fact i dont think any music/video player has a bigger screen than the DS correct me if im wrong

Yes, the iPod Video has a 2.5inch screen compared to DS' 3 inch, however the iPod has a higher resolution. Even I can't stand watching videos on the iPod for more than 5 minutes.

The Creative Zen Vision W has a 4.3inch screen.

Ah okay ill edit my post so this thread doesn't fill up people proving me wrong. Thanks.

the cards still cost too much and i dont understand trying to watch a full length movie on my DS, not what its for.....


Some people either dislike Ipods or cant afford them. I dislike Ipods and when i do want to game i don't exactly feel like playing Solitaire either.

My thoughts exactly. I hate iPods with a passion and having one device with great media functions and kickass games makes the DS a helluva lot better than an iPod.
EDIT: And since when did SDHC cards cost too much? You can get a 4GB SDHC for $40 USD. That's the same cost of two 2GB cards.

BTW, when I was typing this, Firefox didn't spellcheck "helluva" lol

If you wanted, instead of getting an ipod you could get one of the other alternatives.

Example: Meizu M6 (that's the one I have)
Can do Xvid/Divx video 320x240 @ 20fps with MP3 audio. I can transcode video downloaded from the internet in under 10 minutes with this setup and there is virtually no video quality loss. It does skip periodically but I blame that on the unit playing catch up because I just dropped 4 or 10 frames (depending on original encoding) out of every second during the transcoding process.

I use headphones when listening to music on my DS so I already have myself an Mp3 player there. And as for the 'tiny' screen it's good enough for when your waiting for your doctors appointment in 4hrs time!

 

[son2fu]

is it quicker and easier to convert videos to psp format?
because i'm thinking of buying one.

kinda off topic.

If he wasn't joking, yes, SDHC=Secure Digital High Capacity (lewislite said already).
MicroSDHC cards can hold 4gb+, while regular microSD's are only 2gb and less.

I suggest going to another clinic. XP
I do use my DS for music but it isn't much that I need SDHC right now.
