I was looking at the price of M2 memory, and it's dirt cheap. You can get 16GB for only $20. You can get an M2 to Pro Duo adapter for likely around $5 after shipping.

I know adapters are always an iffy endeavor, but has anybody successfully gone this route? I would love to double my memory for cheap, and this would be a great route to go. Plus, then I could use my 4GB MicroSD cards elsewhere.

I know, I know, I can get an 8GB Pro Duo card for about $20 too, but if I can get double the memory that is still fairly reliable (I'm thinking official Sandisk adapter), that would be great.

Edit: I don't need a speech about the best types of memory either. I'm fully aware of what is considered the most reliable investment, but I'm looking to get the most bang for my buck.

Awesome. I'll save up a few more dollars to get the adapter, and I'll go for it. As fun as 8GB is, after loading down my emulators and putting some larger PSX games on, it only has about 25MB left free. I figured it was time to upgrade, and 16GB for $20 is too good to pass up.

best bang for my buck was a micro sd to ms pro duo adapter with a 16 GB micro sd scandisk card (class4). read speeds up to 17mb and write up to 13Mb. Have another 8gb Class 6 on it's way now to join it with a fake photofast cr-5400. Gameplay is awesome even with .cso files.
just my 2 cents worth. but if ya can get a 16gb m2 stick for 20 bucks lol i like to know where and is it legit?

16GB M2 for $20 is standard. Just check places like Amazon. M2 isn't super duper common as far as I know, but it's inexpensive.

Im currently using it on gen-d3at no problems, 2 8gb tdk, w/ photofast CR-5400 Ms pro duo dual slot adapter which cost around 4.5 $ in our currency.


u should use same type of sd's so u wont have any compatibility issues which sometimes occur, planning to get also two 16GB so that I wont be needing to change my memory stick and I could permanently glue it.

    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
