Which SLOT-1 Card??

**Tyrrell** · August 29th, 2008, 09:34

Hey all, I'm a homebrew enabled PSP user. My girlfriend owns a DS Lite and likes how my PSP has all my old school games that I play.

My question is after searching the net for some time which SLOT-1 card to go for? I've read up on DSTT, R4, N5, M3 and EDGE.... but its hard to see which one is "the best"

I'm looking at an 8GB SDHC card so it will need to have the ability to support it. It's a big card but I know she'll want movies etc later on so I want to be prepared.

I guess everyone will have their own person choice and preferences but it'd be nice to see what they are.

Cheers

Not all support cards over 2GB,so forget the R4,old and no longer supported as far as I know.
M3Real is still OK for the price I believe.But if want the best and are prepared to spend a little more Id recommend the cycloDS Evolution.

Im running a 8GB MicroSD SDHC through the cyclo just fine.No rom patching neccessary,just drag/drop and play.

Home page of the cyclo and info on it here:

Cant speak for the Edge and others but here some of those as good too.

my cousin has an R4 HC (high capacity R4 that supports more sizes) and he likes it

hey all. first post here at DSemu.

ive got an Egde for my DS and it works great. its pretty much the same as a cyclo from what i hear but i think it might be less expensive. as for SDHC, it says it supports up to 32GB (though ive never seen a card that big before...and you probably wouldnt need one) im using a 4GB currently and it works no problem.

i got mine on dealextreme http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10919

i'm beta testing for the AKAIO firmware on the acekards. i love AKAIO over any firmware i have used (i own 7 flash kits, 1 is an 8yr old GBA kit). you can pick up the newly designed acekard2 with the lower power consuming black pcb for under $13. the acekard 2 (2.1) supports regular msd and sdhc cards.

honestly you won't regret it.

I havent recived mine though the post, but after ages of researching i decided on the suercard one sdhc over the R4, from reviews, an email from store seller and a mate that has one!
=]
plus i got it dirt cheap off of amazon with a 2gb mini sd card, at like £25 inc p&p!!!!! amazin, just waiting for it to come through now... so impatient!

CycloDS. Its updated regularly, HUGE compatibility for backing up your commercial games, plays most of them perfectly. If it doesn't, it will soon with the updates. Of course, watching movies the moonshell works fine with that stuff too.
Also, its simple, almost no setup (only moonshell is needed, and its only a drag/drop, available from CycloDS' site, already prepared). Perfect for your gilrfriend (not saying that girls can't do homebrew... but everyone likes easy, right?), plus it supports up to 32gb microSD/HC (theoretically--doesn't exist for consumer market yet ;P)

I'd recommend DSTT. It's $6.83 on Deal Extreme atm, and supports sdhc. R4 SDHC is a fake btw.
Here's the link for DSTT on deal exetreme:
