To start off I'm using latest kernel from https://www.ezflash.cn/ that being v1.04

So I have tried a 32GB ONN a 64GB Sandisk a 128GB Sandisk and a PNY Elite pictured here out of all 4 only the 128GB Sandisk and PNY worked hopefully this a start of a MicroSD Card Compatibility list

"ALL FORMATED TO FAT32"

Welcome back @Shadow#1, long time no sea. Yes, anything that is a 32GB or 64GB card will support the Parallel. Depends on how many games you're willing to fit on one of these.

2 cards from the same manufacturer having different behaviour is odd...
Just to be sure - follow the DSi guide's formatting instructions. Windows, especially the basic formatter in explorer does a rather terrible job, only formatting the volume (so if the card is GPT instead of MBR for some reason it's still useless). SDMCFormatter should always be used on it, followed by GUIFormat for >32GB cards. Under linux I've also seen mkdosfs not be reliable in some distros (though in this case all cards should fail after formatting), GParted seems more reliable.

FAT32 with a specific cluster size of 32K should get prettymuch every SD card working on it. Sometimes 64K cluster sizes not only work, but perform better for ROM loading/data streaming. Especially when it comes to games that stream video using the Mobiclip encoding. A1 and A2 cards are preferred, and for quality reasons, I suggest sticking with Samsung and Sandisk.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
