I just thought this might help anyone else having the same problem

I just bought a new memory stick that's the exact same one that gave me problems except the speed was 4 and I can confirm that Golden Sun plays. So I'm guessing anything lower than a 3 or 4 write speed isn't gonna play it. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

I have a Sandisk 8gb class 2 that plays it just fine

While my Sandisk 8gb class 4 and 16gb class 4 totally screw up.

EDIT: I just tried trimming the rom on my sandisk 16gb class 4, and the games working just fine so far (havent saved tyrell yet (why does the intro have to be so long))

class doesn't really mean much as its just a guide to minimum sequential write speed.
afaik ds usage is more small and/or random read/writes.
class 2 cards may perform better than class 4/6 cards.
class is a decent indicator but isn't end of everything.

Just measure the read and write speed with ATTO benchmark tool and you'll know, easy as that.
And yes I have seen Class 2 cards outperform class 6 cards.
Class 2 means it at least has 2 Mb/s write speed and this counts for all the micro sd cards.

    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
