SD Card Upgrade Help Needed

Post by bensrevenge » Sat Sep 01, 2012 1:10 am

Hello I have bought a SD Media Launcher that came with a 1gb sd card and everything I needed to connect it to the gamecube and pc. I found out today 1gb wasnt nearly enough to backup my games so I plan to upgrade to a bigger SD Card. After some research though to my understanding the gecko supplied with media launcher doesnt support sdhc. So I need advice on what I need so I can use SDHC Cards

Swiss has no problems with a 64GB sdxc card formatted to fat32.
grab an sd gekko from ebay for 1$ and use swiss

SD Geko of SD Media Launcher allows you to use SDHC, but the SD Media Launcher itself only detects SD cards up to 4GB so use your 1GB from SD Media Launcher to launch swiss and then swap to your choice card. I´m actualy using Sandisk SDHC 8GB class 4 and I can set up them to 32Mhz and play without problems

I have another question. Can I use a basic class 2 card or will I have to upgrade to something like a class 10 card
