Hacking slow microsd card

[flamingo24]

So the only way to fix the 5sec delay issue is get a class 4 one?

What is the cluster size? 32k is recommended, if you want you can try 64k (not all flash linkers support it).

Panasonic SD Formatter automatically adjusts the cluster size

If they are using smaller sized TF card I noticed the Panasonic tool only adjusts to 16k, and for larger TF it never exceeds 32k. If the TF is exceptionally slow its worth a try going with a larger 64k or 32k depending on the situation.

Interesting... I get lag in metroid prime, dont remember it being this slow in retail cart (its been awhile since I used the retail cart but...) Maybe Ill check cluster size too because I recently formatted it.


Um, how do i change cluster size in the Panasonic formatter?

I just did a disk check on mine, there are errors... maybe the OP should do that too...

i think i have a class 2 because on the card there is a number 2 on the edge. I hear transcend class 6 are fast or should i stick with a class 4 if i buy a new card?

I would recommend a Class 6 SDHC card because if you are going to play games like GTA then that's the best speed.
