What setups can run PoR without problems?

Zygarth · January 31, 2007, 03:49:24 PM

I'm going to take the next step and buy a slot-1 device. But the main issue is Castlevania - Portrait of Ruin. I want this game to run perfectly without freezing up a single time throughout the whole game.
I can't find any closure on this game, to me it seems that you need a good slot-1 card as well as a matching transflash.
So the big question is, with what setup can I run PoR perfectly?

Well the supercard DS with a fast card. I have the Sandisk Ultra II and I still have lockups. I hate when it lockups and I have told my brother to just buy the game to avoid the lockups.

What is the best micro SD card to get? Anyone know?

SuperCard Lite, R4, M3 Simply with Japan Kingston/Toshiba
Excellent.

I have an R4 with a Taiwanese sandisk and it plays perfectly. I did notice one thing, I was having problems at the start with a very rare random freeze, and I solved that with the same method I used to solve my old Osu Tatakae Ouendan freezes, I didn't completely fill up my Micro SD card. I left about 50 megs free on my 1 gig and it stopped the locking up. Something about a near full SD card causes file reading to slow down. Not sure what as I'm not an expert. Just my experience.

EZ5 with a 1G japan kingston... no problems with PoR or DoS that I have found.

Anyone know how 1G Panasonic MicroSDs run?

I think it's more about the flash memory than the card (just like PoR on my SC CF)

R4 w/ SanDisk Ultra II 1GB = no probs here :lol:

Does anyone have any 2gb card from Newegg that works flawlessly with PoR? I have an A-data 2gb from there and it's the only game that freezes or has any problems at all on my R4.

Okay nice to know that PoR wasn't as problematic as I thought was. I think I'll just go for the EZV. But I'll wait just a bit until M3 Real gets here.

I got a SCDS with 512MB Kingston JPN. Runs flawlessly.

EZV w/ Sandisk Ultra-II 2 gb

Haha 2gb, I win. I know you envy me. ENVY ME!!!!

too bad you got it for 100$? since now they are at around 40 even though yours is the super fast II version. I love all these price drops

EZV rocks especially when using the hybrid patcher. I have M3 Simply, DS Link, SCDS One (for my slot-1's) but have gone back to my EZV because it plays flawlessly and very fast. faster than M3 Simply. Yes, you have to patch for that performance, but who cares?
