I've been looking around the net a bit to see if there is some solution to not having the compact flash card sticking out of the bottom, but maybe taping it to the bottom of the NDS / GBA. I've come across a site that sells CF extenders (do a search in google for "CF extend 162") and you'll see what I mean. Does anyone have any idea if these can be cut down to size and used? Also, I was also thinking of using perhaps the CF extend 165, which takes a PCMCIA card and converts it to CompactFlash. Not sure if this will work because of CF formatting differences, but if it did, surely you could cheaper cards

Surely if youre that bothered you could just buy a supercard SD, and some media, then flog your CF? Just a thought.

You could always fix my 4gb datel PSP hard drive, which i decided to break, if you have anymore free time? :p

Good plan, but the SD one still sticks out of the back. Wouldn't know what to do with my 3 512MB compactflash cards either.

You can't really cut down the size of the actual CF card part of the CF extender, so that would be kind of useless. Although it would be kind of interesting to see if the cf to pcmcia one would work for pccard harrdrives

can i have one of your cf cards..? ^_^

[markymb]

Swap you one cf card for a supercard sd  :lol:

[Nyutan]

Bummer i don't have one x_x; I just needed a CF for my Digital camera. lol

I've thought about this too but i'm not sure it's possible.
I dont know how much you can extend an cf connector

but it would be awesome

Won't the connector extend equally far out of the SC as the CF card?

Indeed it does. More so.  the connector is basically CF sized, with a large bulky cable going out to the other end. Usually has a rather large card reader sized socket on the other end.

I dunno, maybe if you could disassemble the CF end so that it is just the connector pins and cable, and found one with a smaller socket end...   Really doubting it though, I don't think it's worth the expense and risk just to find out.

CF cards have controllers built in to them, and this device requires that controller so there's no way to make it work

[754boy]

Not gonna work. Plus that thing will stick out WAY more than the CF card does now so why bother  :?

[RottenFox]

another reason to do some research when buying.
the CF version sticks out far too much,whereas the SD version sticks out 1 cm,and it practically indestructable as the SDcard is inside the supercard

[ahamay]

What is the problem with the Supercard CF. It had 3 big advantages:

1)
Remove the CF card without taking out the complete Supercard.
2)
Also the SD card has to be clicked out everytime. This mechanism
can also fail much sooner.
3)
CF cards are more sturdy than SD cards.

Maurice.
P.S. The SD version sticks out also.

The SD version sticks out a lot less than the CF.  That's why I didn't bother with the CF........I hate having stuff sticking out.  I wanted it to be as flush as possible.  The SD version works great......I've never had problems and the people who do seem to be using slow or off-brand media.
