When I try to download the DSOne SCHD v3 firmware from http://eng.supercard.cn/, it just doesn't work.  I've also tried the link at http://eng.supercard.cn/download/.  No luck.

Is it possible for someone to attach the download for me on this post?  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Edit: I seriously couldn't find an answer to this question, so if it has already been answered, please don't flame me.

I have a Class 6 (6MB/s) Adata 4GB microSD card, and it still takes 15-20 seconds to load my backup-ed games. Does the v3 firmware speed up loading compared to v1?  This problem is quite aggrivating, because the Supercard Lite (not rumble) loaded them in 1-2 seconds, and my brand new Supercard DSOne SDHC feels like a downgrade in this aspect.

get it ENGLISH DSone_SDHC_V3.0 HERE  

get the jap version JAP DSone_SDHC_V3.0 HERE

Omigosh, Kkan, you're amazing!!!       Lightning fast response.

Thank you so much!!!11eleventy-one!!!

I think v3 is about 5-10 seconds faster loading time for games than v1! w0000t!!!!

Thanks again!

Also try going into the global.ini file and changing the option that checks for the DS Bricker in every file you launch.  See if that helps, as I haven't gotten a definitive answer as to whether it improves loading times or not.

Again SDHC-cards are a little slower than non-sdhc cards and that's why it takes a little longer time to load games.
Just for comparison: 1 GB Kingston (J) Microsd has a speed of 8.8MB/s

I think this does improve loading times by a second or two, thanks for the tip.

Oh, I supposed that SDHC would have been faster, darn.  Actually, when I was sending music files to my card earlier, it did reach a maximum of about 8MB/s, but I can't seem to reproduce that figure. It mostly stays around 6MB/s. Hmm...

Thanks for the replies!

Sending speed of files from the computer to the memory card with a card reader has NOTHING to do with the speed the DS/Supercard can access the data on the card! .... as the computer can access the data far faster than the DS/Supercard could ever access it! as the computer can request MORE information at a quicker rate using a much larger bandwith than the DS!

Additionally without wanting to start a HUGE DEBATE as there are many many threads on card speeds etc!

But....From a technical point of view! ...I really dont understand where people can compare or even rate a cards transfer speed using PC bench test tools either, as this is BENCH TESTING the speed a PC can access data from a memory card using a USB port/Card reader/Internal card reader??

.... a better test would be a bench mark tool for the actual flashcard to use on the DS where it would be really testing data transfer speeds in the DS enviroment and not the PC's

maby one for the homebrew community to come up with lol

sorry but thats my honest thoughts here

[BlackDStoUS!]

I never thought of that.  That makes a lot more sense, though.

One completely obvious thing I forgot to do was "auto set the SD speed", which turned out to be "23" instead of "3".    So, that definitely helped out A LOT.

You are very right.  See http://pineight.com/ds/ and look for "Speed tester for libfat" for a program that does exactly what you're describing.

lol should hope I am ... been a tech forum ADMIN for way too long now lol 


additionally to throw ANOTHER SPANNER in the works ... USB 1.1 and USB 2.2 will invariably make a whole heap of difference to speeds of transfer on the computer end at least!... with 2.2 being the faster of the two

and thanks dan for the info about speed tester for ds too

It just amazes me how card mem makers can boast/claim outrageous card speeds on their packages where in reality they are not actually measuring the data transfers in the actual devices such as cameras, phones etc etc without breaching any kind of false advertisement laws !!

Does this hold true for non-SDHC cards as well? I'll give it a whirl, although the loading times don't bother me all that much.
