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

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything?
