Someone told me that a 4GB micoSD card would work, but not a 4GB microSDHC card. I guess the high capacity part throws off the R4DS? Dunno, but my Kingston 4GB microSDHC card did not work, though it was different from the one in the OP. 2GB Kingston microSD card works great.

Pretty sure there's no such thing as a 4GB card in plain microSD. If it's 4gb or higher it's got to be *SDHC.

Yes, that's correct. That's what the HC stands for "High Capacity" - i.e. 4GB.

How old is your R4? Mine are all only a few months old. Does it have a spring loaded MicroSD slot, or does the card just slide in? The spring loaded ones are the older ones. They changed it because they have breakage isues.

Also, Which Firmware version are you running? I wonder if thats all you need to do since some people have it working and some don't. I have an M3 not the R4 but I'm running the newest version of the R4 firmware which works fine on the M3, not sure what the differences are with the M3 and R4 but maybe i'll buy one of these and see if it works

EDIT: After more research it seems that the M3 DS Simply and R4 rev 1 don't support SDHC, some users report certain SDHC cards working however only Japanese Kingston cards. Otherwise it seems they're unstable.

The R4 rev 2 as explained above, with the new shell without a spring does support it. Also the new M3 DS Real and TTDS support SDHC. FYI for all

Great!
mine is the one where the MicroSD card just sldies in

I can double the games I have in it

When I first got mine, 2GB was enough for games. Now that I watch videos and pics, and use it as an MP3 player, 4GB lets you do alot more without switching cards!

last time i tried video on my R4DS, it sucked balls. has the encoding/playback quality increased?

... It may be that they are using older firmware or cards, as most are listed as using firmware 1.11 and the newest is 1.15. ...

The firmware is up to 1.16 now. Link to newest firmware.

I tried to get the 4 gig the last time with the google check out. Used a new address but they sent me an email saying the account has been blocked because I have another account. Not sure if it was the CC # or the name. But they caught me. It was like my 5th account.

Sold out. Nice deal though.

You gotta use different CC's

Yea, I imagine they are cracking down a bit. I know it worked at least 4 times with the same card as I only have one I use on line. (I like to keep it on one so if there are issues I only have one to cancel) I may start using some of the prepaid ones you get at CVS.

I recieved mine today. I even used the slowest shipping (7-9 days) and it still got here in 4.
It seems a little faster on the initial loadup than my PNY card, but nothing too exciting. Works like a champ so far!

It's not working in my R4DS

It's made in Japan too.
Bleh.

I just get stuck on the "Loading..." screen

My kingston 4gb SDHC is doing the same thing...WTH ...:roll:






EDIT : Well at least this works in my aiptek HD camcorder....:beer:

 

[kalster]

[mrizvi66]

Mine neither. It's still "on order."

 

[mplogic]

Mine either, and it's not even showing up in my orders. I got a confirmation email from Google checkout with an order number but no such order in my buy.com account. Sent them an email asking for explanation.

GCO orders don't show up in your Buy account. You can do a traditional status check on Google's site or you have to do a specific lookup on Buy.com with the order # and your phone number.

And now I'm officially back ordered

Are those things any good? I was looking into getting one to take some easily editable video of my daughter instead of my MiniDV. I don't need awesome quality, just better than my digital camera takes.
Would you recommend it?

 

[marketsons1985]

It's back..but $6 more. 18.24 with GCO.

I find it interesting that the item page says it's available to purchase, without so much as a backorder tag, while my status page still says "on order."

I'd find that more than interesting! Wonder what the deal is. Have you heard anything from them?

 

[BlueWeasel]

I finally got notice yesterday that mine shipped out on 3/5.

 

[middlehead]
