i dont know why, but after patching animal crossing with the new patcher, it runs quite acceptably!  it is, of course, a little slowed down at the menu, but its better, and not bad at all considering its a standard microSD.  

They must have done something.. maybe i'm just so tired from work that everything seems to be moving faster, to my tired mind. haha..

UPDATE:  NICE.. whatever they've done, its excellent.  Tony Hawk runs quite acceptably too!  acceptable: meaning that there is a bit of a slower response than the original cart, but not bad at all, and doesn't feel sluggish.

I am pretty impressed. very glad I bought this!    gonna sell one of the g6 Lites (got a second "final version" g6 Lite)

That's brilliant news, I hope my Sandisk Ultra II Micro SD will do a good job of playing the games.

It seemed a bit odd that you'd need one of the fastest micro sds on the market that are quite hard to find to play games acceptably. I think 60x should do the job.

yeah. i'm using the standard sandisk microSD and it's very acceptable.  seriously impressed.  a bit shocked actually.  i really didn't expect it to work that well. haha..

It's only a couple of games (and one of them it's only the intro video) out of the hundreds that slow very slightly in places, let's get this in proportion. Animal crossing can always be written to the GBA ram to solve the slightly sluggish in-game menu problem anyway.

How about the Castlevania test?

Yeah I'd like to see that, see how smoothly it runs.

you read my mind.  i hadn't read your posts, but was just testing that.  

for all of you who find that test to be a good benchmark...  it plays without stuttering!

woo hoo.. a little audio distortion, but i'm not sure if its like that on the original or not.  but it plays smoothly!

[FifthE1ement]

Wow, this is a big break through! Why can't they use this patching tech for the SD/miniSD versions? Last thing to test is GBA games!

"'ll be willing to buy you a SuperCard Lite if the SuperCard Lite can run the Castlevania test right from microSD memory and not pre-loaded onto the SC's onboard mem.

Looks like Madrigal just won himself a free SC lite

[FifthE1ement]

It has to be running from the onboard memory using caching techniques. It’s impossible to have his 1.8MB/sec 12X microSD sending that amount of data through the GBA to the DS memory without having it preloaded on the SC Lite. The new patcher must enable a new type of caching with the new type of memory so in fact my statement is still true. It is impossible to do it straight from the microSD as the memory bandwidth is just not there.

That is good news. So it actually is faster than previous Supercards

Finally something positive comes from the SC Lite.

[FifthE1ement]

I wonder what would happen if I try to use the microSD patcher on the miniSD/SD SuperCard? I know it won't save correctly but what else will happen? This will be able to show us if the SC Lite has extra caching memory as it should be able to run on the regular SC. Anyone want to be a test monkey?

yes it sure is.. just played some stuff on my wife's sc miniSD, and i can really feel the difference.  and her's is using a 66x miniSD.

cheers, I'm happy with my supercard Mini SD with regular Sandisk Mini SD so when my supercard lite comes it will be great. Mine's coming on Saturday I can't wait now.

would you be able to test pokémon fire red (gba) for me please. I know it's a kids game and really uncool but I always end up playing pokémon games on holiday lol. Atm it plays on my Supercard Mini SD but doesn't save unless I use rtc function.
