No, some media requires fast transfer speed.

interesting - thanks for the tip

No, some media requires fast transfer speed.

you think i need a 'hi-speed' version then? - the blurb seems to indicate ti doesent suffer from 'lag' no matter which card you use. Though i have been wondering about thsi.

i got a sandisk ultra III 1GB MicroSD....recomended due to faster transfer/access times.

There's no need to be silly. The Kingston Japanese ones are fast enough to do anything with the card but the Taiwanese ones will not load some files quick enough.

how do i know when i buy online that the card is japan made?

Richdog · 14 Nov 2007 at 13:00

I bought 2x Kingston 2GB cards made in Japan and they are great. Some sites will tell you where it's made in the advert blurb, just a case of searching around till you find one.

I'm surprised the mods are allowing this to be discussed...

apatia77 · 14 Nov 2007 at 13:27

i still cant find on any online shop any information saying that card was made in japan

What in this thread can be considered illegal? Is owning an R4 itself illegal? The R4 can be used for a variety of legal content such as MP3's etc can't it?

Tunney · 14 Nov 2007 at 13:50

There's plenty of legal uses for a chipped Xbox, but AFAIK that's not allowed to be discussed.

I just go for the basic SanDisk.

Oh come on, stop being all cocky. Everybody knows that it doesn't have to be used for illegal activities, but usually is.

The problem is, it is only a matter of time before someone asks what is an R4DS? Or where can they get one. Besides, since you can't link to a competitor, its not the most useful.

But if you stick to taking about micro sd cards then the thread might be safe. Just don't ask anything about the R4DS etc.

If the mods want to close it then they can, no need for being a Ms. Busy-Body when no harm has yet been done. The guy was only asking which memory card was best for his R4.

Caustic · 14 Nov 2007 at 14:30

Calling me a Ms. Busy-Body?! Ha ha.

You asked what was wrong and I was suggesting that people stick to the topic and not drift off into more dangerous waters, as thats why threads often get cut. If nothing else, reminding those who might not know of OcUK's stance on such topics.

anyone have experience of the integral cards in an R4. After a higher capacity card for all my multi-media.
