:huh:

Dumb question i guess huh....

Here's another. If i do this mod to a Nintendo 251 mem card, can that still be used as a memory card? Is it still only 251 Blocks, or is it "upgraded" depending on the size of the SD card i put in? If i cannot still use it as a memory card, has anybody done this mod to 3rd party (other than AR) memory card?

I know thats alot, but i like to know what all i'm getting into before i take the leap.

can you use a smart media card instead of an sd one?

doomie22 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 12, 2005, 07:15:00 AM »

can you use flash memory cards like: XD cards, Multi-media cards, Smart media cards?

I ask this because i can get ahold of them easier/ or i already have them.

I ask this question a couple days ago, but never got a reply. Think it just got overlooked.

I had to cut all traces to the memcard chip using a razor knife in order for sdload to boot off sd. I am working on a switched method.
As of now we are sacrificing the memcard for its connections only and lose the ability to save games to that card.
Buy a cheap one.

Use good media and it wont be a problem!

yosomono99...I found a way to build the adaptor while still keeping it a normal memcard.
I posted it at Dextrose.

Goodluck!

Thanks for the info helltick. Would it just be easier to by a cheap, 3rd party mem card to convert into the sd-reader?

Forget the previous post, i have a new question (could edit the other post, sorry)

I just bought AR and was curious about something:

I have a Nintendo MemCard 251 which has my gamesaves on it,

I now have the memcard that came with my AR.

Which one of these should be hacked up to make into an SD-Reader?

If i don't plan on using the AR for anything other than the exploit, do i need to keep the AR card intact??

HELLTICK · « **Reply #26 on:** March 13, 2005, 05:49:00 PM »

hack the memory card for your sd-adaptor...The AR requires the hardware (dongle) to be inserted.
Remember..Dont cut the traces on gc memcard or you'll never see those saves again.
Refer to my last post.
Also I suggest you backup your saves prior to installing adaptor just in case something fucks up.
Goodluck!

why hack up a perfectly good mem card to make an SD adaptor when you can use a regular mem card itself? it doesn't hold as much as a SD card (depending on memory card and SD card sizes) but it's enought to hold GCOS to let you boot your backups. the procedure isn't the same for mem cards and sd cards but they both work for loading homebrew DOLs.

could you post a link on how to use sdloader without an SD Card???

From what i've read/understood, sdloader will only work on an sd card, but i can stand to be proved wrong(and save some money on cards and readers).

atomiX · « **Reply #29 on:** March 15, 2005, 08:28:00 AM »

you can't do it with SDload since it isn't meant for memory cards. there is another loader (samson's loader iirc) that was written for memory cards. you still need an AR though. check this out:
