It's 512MegaBYTES...

And trust me, depending on the game, you would be lucky to get more than 8 or 9 games on there...I have a 1GB microSD card in my SCLite and I can only hold about 17 games, so divide that in half for you...plus a lot of games are about 64MB each.

Well i have 7 nds backups on my 256 MB (2 gbit) :p G6 card. The average file is 32.7 MB (~64 mbit). 7*4 = ~ 28 games.

So 7*2 = 14 games to me.

Average game is not 32MB...I have atleast 6 or 7 games that are 64MB in size (Tony Hawk, Metroid, Sonic, Mario and Luigi, Phoenix Wright, Kirby's Canvas, etc...). I don't think there is any particular size to generalize them all.

My average file size. Some games are small and some are big, but the average is 32MB :alien: .

Hey, anyone know why I can't play action games on my supercard SD like Bleach DS or Guilty Gear.

I got pass the character selection screen on Bleach and then the game would just hang.

For Guilty Gear, I can't play with some character or the game would hang.

Here is my setting chosen in supercard software: Saver patch, Faster play time and trim.

Thanks for your help,

Turn off trim. In some cases it removes files needed for the game to run properly.
Ok, I turn off trim but still get the same problem.

BTW, What is "faster playing time" and when should I turn it on.

The new supercard software also has a new setting:

"enable patch access..."

What does it do?

Thanks,

Select enable restart and faster play game only. Saver patch and rom position patch should both be set to SD card.
I selected the option like you said (saver patch, faster game play and enable restart) but I still have some random freezes in game.

Please help,

What brand/speed SD card are you using? Also, it could be a bad dump of the "backup". I would try a copy from somewhere else.

I have PQI SD

Speed is 150x or 23MB/s

About the back-up, I have tried copy from 2 different places but still gets same issue.

PS:In the latest try, I disabled "faster running time" and "enable restart", leaving only saver patch. The game works fine with less freeze than when I leave those on but it still freeze sometimes especially when the action begins.

Please help,

same here dude... sometimes i can play for 5 hours straight, and other times it just freezes after 2 minutes... also noticed that the freezing occurs when loading new content like battle mode in m&l:pit, the victory round in mariokart, new areas in phoenix wright, level loading in meteos...

i already asked around and most think it's the sd card that's causing the trouble... i already tried pushing down the connector pins of the reader to ensure they make contact, but still no luck... i have a 1gb minisd by dane-elec, i think i'm gonna get me a small sandisk to see of it solves the problem...

best of luck anyways :)

the instructions sent to me by supercard store were to put nitro tracker onto the sd card, sd into supercard and supercard / superkey into ds then power on, how long should i be waiting for menu to come up?

it's doing something different because the safety bit doesn't hang around

well, bought a sandisk 256mb minisd to see of it also hangs... been playing phoenix wright for like 3 hrs now, and it 'crashed' only twice... gonna try some different games later... if they also hang than i guess it's the SC thats busted... gives me an excuse to get a SCLite :)

Don't really know, think it's a test app along the lines of, if you can see this in the list of programs and load it, you've done it right. The problem I had was that I'd forgotten to put the boot thingy on the SD card so yeh.

Now I need to find something that plays more media types than just .mp3 supported by Moonshell... DS organise looks good.

Dear god I need to work out whats wrong with my card reader, having to use camera to read/write to sd which is so slow compared to my reader thing.

so i got myself a sandisk 256mb for testing my SC problems... first thing i noticed is that the games load way faster than the other card i was using!! i can also play again, but it still crashes sometimes... one time i can play for like 3-4 hrs straight, other times i get 5 crashes in 10 minutes or so...

i'm really considering to get a SC lite with a high qual sandisk microSD now... only thing holding me back is the amount of money i'll need to spend and have spent already... i mean, SCMini -> 50?, crap 1Gb SD -> 100?, sandisk 256mb ->22?...

i wish i had some guarantee that the SCLite and the sandisk would really be that last things i'll have to get... i dont wanna spend another sum of money just to find out after a month that the lite is bugged or the sd is crap...

anyone know if i could make some sort of traed with kicktrading, like say "i'll send you my more or less perfectly good SCMini and get 20$ off for a scLite?&:pot; :p

    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
