EZ Flash Parallel MicroSD Card Compatibility

[Shadow#1]

To start off I'm using latest kernel from https://www.ezflash.cn/ that being v1.04

So I have tried a 32GB ONN a 64GB Sandisk a 128GB Sandisk and a PNY Elite pictured here out of all 4 only the 128GB Sandisk and PNY worked hopefully this a start of a MicroSD Card Compatibility list

"ALL FORMATED TO FAT32"

Welcome back @Shadow#1, long time no sea. Yes, anything that is a 32GB or 64GB card will support the Parallel. Depends on how many games you're willing to fit on one of these.

2 cards from the same manufacturer having different behaviour is odd...
Just to be sure - follow the DSi guide's formatting instructions. Windows, especially the basic formatter in explorer does a rather terrible job, only formatting the volume (so if the card is GPT instead of MBR for some reason it's still useless). SDMCFormatter should always be used on it, followed by GUIFormat for >32GB cards. Under linux I've also seen mkdosfs not be reliable in some distros (though in this case all cards should fail after formatting), GParted seems more reliable.

Interesting. Any difference in sub-brand of the SanDisks? Like Ultra and Extreme?

the 32 and 64 dont work and the 128 does

FAT32 with a specific cluster size of 32K should get prettymuch every SD card working on it. Sometimes 64K cluster sizes not only work, but perform better for ROM loading/data streaming. Especially when it comes to games that stream video using the Mobiclip encoding. A1 and A2 cards are preferred, and for quality reasons, I suggest sticking with Samsung and Sandisk.
