Is speed class important for sd cards or not? I always hear conflicting stories. This is what I'm looking at: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=831911&affixedcode=WW It's expensive and yet it seems to be a class 2? I don't get it, I got a 4gb class 4 from shoptemp with my acekard for like $11 or something I thought. So why is it so hard to find one at a good price in stores?
That's why you buy them online. Way cheaper than in stores. They tend to overprice them because they can. Class does matter, but I have never had a problem with my Class 2 cards.
the speed class is only important if you want a game to load fast on your flashcard,a good example is my 4 gb class 2 microsd is much slower saving than my kingston 4gb class 4
Great. My Supercard will arrive any day now, and won't be able to play it or any other card because I need to wait another few weeks for an sd online.
Correct. And thus, no way to currently play my non-retail DS games What's up with the microsds on shoptemp? It says class 2/4. Well, which is it? 2 or 4? Randomly picked? The kingston I got there originally says 2/4 too and I received a 4, so I guess there's not much to worry about :S Still, how annoying.
Ah! That totally sucks. I have like...10 or so? >.> Not sure about the ShopTemp thing though. Maybe you can specify in the shipment details.
If you're gonna be using it with an SCDS2, speed class is pretty unimportant! After you click on the games section for it to load them up, that's where the time kicks in, i did it with C2 2GB, 8GB, and 32GB cards. the 2GB was instant, the 8GB took 3 sec, the 32GB took about 10 sec, loading and saving is all the same speed with it =D
Oh. Saving was my biggest concern. Pokemon saving is ridiculously long on a retail cart and I was lucky enough to have a c4 with my ak2i so it was quicker. I don't care about the initial load.
Hmm, do they SELL kingstons alone anymore there? I couldn't add one to the DSTWO bundle so I bought a 16GB Sandisk MicroSD instead. SanDisk also says 2/4, BTW. If they pick it randomly, well, here's hopin mine comes in 4! If not...life goes on. You have NO idea what a long load is, man . My M3 perfect can load GBA roms up to 32mb. It takes it TWO MINUTES to load a 32mib GBA game. ...still worth keeping for 100% GBA compat tho.
Speed class? So basically speed class is NOT responsible for mid game slowdowns? And the m3 has slot 1 gba loading?
M3 Perfect is a SLOT2 card. They're one of the first DS flashcarts and sell today for their original premiere retail price (over $90!) I got mine when I bought my DS on ebay during xmas '07 with 17 first-party games for $200. I learned that I could add more to it about five months ago. ...come to think of it, that was good deal for me It looks like this
