Rewrite Limit


you can't replace the onboard nand memory ;)
Sure you can, with the right equipment. I do such things at work. This is providing its a common part, which i have every reason to suspect it is. In any case, i dont see any reason to worry about it. It will be a lonnnnng time before it becomes an issue if ever. The only thing accomplished is stirring up false fears.

But a card reader with USB 2.0 can be a LOT faster than the GP32, even with GPDrive, I think. The GP32 can only run at Maximum USB 1.1 speeds even in a USB 2.0 socket.

I take you point about the USB 2.0, although I personally wasn't really too bothered about the slower USB speed because 128MB isn't a very high capacity anyway, so I felt that the benefit in speed wasn't really worth the time and inconvenience of constantly faffing about removing the SMC from the GP32, inserting it into the card reader to copy the data over and then putting it back into the GP32 again. I got sick of it after a while.

Also, I had to throw away a number of SMC cards because they got damaged purely through inserting and removing them from my GP32 all the time :( In the end, I felt that it was much safer to leave the card in my GP32 and the excellent GpDrive allowed me to do it.

I have some questions about SD cards... First of all, what does SD stand for? And secondly, what does an SD card look like? Whenever I search for "SD card," I get all different kinds of memory cards... can someone post me a picture of one? Also, about how expensive are they?
