Hacking So, Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC is gonna work on CycloDS

[4ppleseed]

Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC are £39.99:
HERE AND HERE

If I buy one they ARE going to work on the CycloDS right?

 

[Costello]

well there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
It was officially announced that the CycloDS Evo supports Micro SDHC.
So yeah, it should work. If it doesn't, post it here and we'll talk to the cyclops team.

Yep people on the TC forums have confirmed that they work.

 

[4ppleseed]

That's great! I'm gonna get one and try it out

I'll report back once it comes.

I think £39.99 is a pretty good price too.

 

[h8uthemost]

Yeah, please let us know how fast it is. Do some testing with PoR, and see if it locks up in the usual spots. That's the only reason why I'm reluctant to get one, I don't know if they're any good or not. I mean, they're Sandisk.

 

[4ppleseed]

Sure I'll have it by this time next week.

I got a Sandisk 4gb MicroSDHC and a CycloDS earlier this week. It seems to work so far, although I haven't tried CastlevaniaoR yet.

It came with a usb reader as well so I haven't tried it with the reader that came with the CycloDS.

Would these work on the R4 and the M3 Simply?

 

[mcp2]

No they will not work on the R4 or M3 because they do not support SDHC cards.

Go try it! SDHC's is the future, so we rly want to know this!

My 4gb micro SDHC will be coming in today, so I'll test it out on my cyclods evo and post my results later on today.

 

[4saken]

I was going to get one, but seeing as prices have been dropping heaps. Theres some on eBay going for 60 USD shipped to the US (and 65 to Australia

)

My 4gb micro SDHC came in today and I've been testing it with my cyclods evo.

Yes, the card reader that comes with the cyclods evo are SDHC compatible. With the 4gb micro sd I tried Castlevania DoS (it played the intro perfectly), Castlevania PoR ( I played it for 1 hr straight and it did not freeze at all, including the portals and talking to Wind), and pokemon pearl (works fine, no wii connection). There was also no slowdowns in the other games that I tried so far.

I do have to say that 4gb is too much. I currently have 70 untrimmed DS roms with saves in the card and I still have over a gig left on the card. A cyclods evo plus a 4gb micro sd equals to an expensive but amazing combo.

 

[bobrules]

aslacker55 did you try putting the sdhc in the R4?

 

[aslacker55]

aslacker55 did you try putting the sdhc in the R4?

Yes, I tried to put it in my R4. It doesn't work with the R4.

 

[4saken]

Will not work. It's been tested before

Here's my big question... With 70 untrimmed games on there, was there any longer time to load the menu or anything, because if not... I think I see what my next Slot-1 device is to replace the DS-X.

Don't you put any videos or music on it too?

The load times were the same with the 4GB micro sdhc (with 70 roms) and my 1GB Kingston japanese microsd. The amount of stuff in the micro sd didn't affect the load times.. The 4gb micro sd cost $60 shipped and $58 for the cyclods evo shipped. $118 is alot, but it's still cheaper than the 2GB DS-X.

QUOTEDon't you put any videos or music on it too?

I have a mp3 player for music and a laptop for movies. No need to put that stuff in my Cyclods evo.
