    It's good to see someone finally made a guide, even though my WIPG, was going to be about FC's in general this seems like an easier, better idea. Very nice job.

    Sorry for being off-topic but what kind of font is the Small White Text that you are using on your Signature images?

    Seph, you can't use PM's before you have 2 posts, remember?

    That's what I was going to say... I couldn't PM him in the first place. The Verification Image isn't working... I can't use sounds either.

    once you have 2 posts, it won't ask for the verification image. You cannot get posts in this topic, or in the games & jokes board. All other boards will increase your post count. Start by introducing yourself in the introductions board :)

    Why do you need to format a memory card if it is already empty? Sorry, I'm new to this. ???

    Its just to make sure that theres nothing on it and when you reformat it, it'll make it fat16 or 32 =D

    Zero isnt completely correct, what formatting does is creates a filesystem, which tells the card how to store files on it (and subsiquently how to find them again)

    and you can't necessarily choose FAT 16 AND FAT 32 randomly

    I recommend FAT 32 for 2gb Micro and up

    And FAT 16 for 1gb and down

    ( higher compability etc)

    How much would all this cost in GBP £? ???
     
  16. Loonylion

    Loonylion Administrator Staff Member

    around £60 I think

    Shouldn't be that expensive, you can get the R4 at $44 , and a decent MicroSD card at $15, so that's more like £14 GBP

    things are more expensive in the UK without accounting for the exchange rate. Last time I saw an R4 on a UK website it was about £35-£40, and microSD cards are £30 retail (less on the net, I got a 1GB for about £15 on amazon).

    Which is why you don't buy from a UK store, I bought my Wiikey from China, it's the original and it arrived within 5 days.
