I have two Sandisk UHS-1 (8 and 32GB) and a 16GB Verbatim class 10 that I'll test when I have a working WKF setup (waiting for Mega to sell MEGAdrives and WASPs).

Yeah the guy I got my wasps off demands bank deposit rather than paypal, and I ain't guna transfer to some random guy in hong kongs bank account with out a little added security from paypal because his 'paypals broken'

won't reply anymore either.

Also, are you guys having any issues with that Sandisk Ultra 16gb autoboot card? All my 'auto-load' cards were fine and I don't have issues with freezing... when I have the Sandisk Ultra in @ 32mhz... I get random freezing on what ever game I throw at it. Could be 2, 10, or 20 minutes into gameplay ..then I get this

changing it to 16mhz makes my screen a little fuzzy, but then I get no freezing. So yes, It autoboots ...but WTF is up with that lol

I don't even know how to change to 16MHz mode when using the WKF :D Never had any issues, though. Played some 4 player games from the WKF the whole weekend with friends, and did not have any problems.

I think the WKF doesn't use SPI mode to drive the SD card so 16/32 MHz is not even a thing.

definitely effects mine, I don't know the technicalities of it, but it definitely doesn't freeze on 16 and does on 32.

WKF speed/startup/etc is all handled internally by the WKF hardware itself, Swiss can only ask to read data from it.

hey guys ive just got the 64gb sd card i ordered and it autoboots so here is the link:
Kingston Technology SDX10V/64GB 64GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity Flash Card

for those that are interested i bought it off "7dayshop Limited (VAT Registered)"

this should be the US link:
Kingston Technology SDX10V/64GB 64GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity Flash Card


i hope this works for others.


edit:
for those of you who want more info i can tell you i have tried taking two 2gb sd cards one autoboot and one autoload and doing a full format on them and then dumping the autoboot sd card with win32diskimager and writing the image to the autoload sd card and testing it and it still didnt autoboot so it doesnt look like its something you can patch it must be hardware based.

interestingly the three sd cards i have that dont autoboot are sandisk and the two that do autoboot are kingston so you may want to bear that in mind.

I ordered the 64GB card and it does not autoboot. It does not even boot at all most of the time. My other cards are still working correctly.

if you are talking about the 64GB card RazorX posted, then check the entire card volume to ensure it is not damaged.


RazorX ended up with a defective 64GB card giving him all kinds of compatibility issues and a few rough nights of extensive testing on IRC to come to the conclusion of a defective card which otherwise looked to have been mostly fully functional..


good luck with that card "badsector" :P
