Hey all (first post!), I have a few questions regarding the recently released Cyclo DS MicroSD.

I'm looking to purchase a Slot-1/Slot-2 combination in the next few days.  My Slot-1 will definitely be the Cyclo DS Evolution.  What I'm looking for in a Slot-2 card (and I'm a complete noob...but not for long) is expandable memory through MicroSD and a good look to go with my DS (flush-fitting basically).  I need it to be able to play mostly media and emulators, but maybe a few GBA games as well (Pokemon, Golden Sun, etc.).  This all needs to integrate well with the Evolution (or am I completely off base and it can boot from the DS menu?).

Which cartridge would be right for me?  The Cyclo DS MicroSD DOES support another MicroSD card, beside the one in the Evolution, right?

Also, if anyone knows, what's the maximum MicroSD size supported by either the Cyclo or the M3?

As an aside, where is the best place to find "fast" 2GB MicroSD cards?  Are the Sandisk's on Amazon.com good enough or do I need to go through a special site?

Thanks a lot!

Cyclo makes a slot 2 cart as well? 

As far as microSD cards go, the best results seem to be obtained by Kingston cards that are made in Japan:

Yea CycloDS MicroSD and MiniSD, which are clones of the Supercards.  You can use the Supercard software on it.

Has anyone tested the Cyclo MicroDS?  Why is there such a huge price difference between the M3 Lite and the Cyclo?  They both have a MicroSD slot for more memory, correct?  Can the Cyclo be used as a RAM expansion pack with the Opera Browser going through a Cyclo Evolution?

Thanks.

It's the same reason why there's such a large price difference between the M3 Perfect and non-Rumble Supercard.  The CycloDS units, like Supercards, have slower RAM than the M3, and as such some GBA titles are slowed down.

I don't know if the Opera patch will work on a CycloDS, but the RAM is present.

Since Cyclo MicroSD is a copy of Supercard non-rumble slot2 series, I don't recommend due to seriously slowdown issues in many GBA games.
