I know this may sound stupid but I am thinking about ordering this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/SD-GECKO-memory-card...1QQcmdZViewItem

since well, the lg drives are so damned rare and expensive now. I had an 8164B but well it decided to give me errors now. Anyhow, I am just worried that the one from the link above may be a fake.. why? Because he swears up and down its not a fake, and to be weary of other dealers selling fakes. So is there any way to know what the real ones are?

Looking at the dude's feedback I would say that what he's offering is legit. That's just my personal opinion though.

If you have 3.0+ WII then theres no real point to buying that at the moment. Gameshark/Action Replays are not allowed to run on those firmwares.

if you want to save yourself a couple of bucks you can goto gameparts.biz cheap shipping i think i paid about 2 dollars when i ordered mine last year and the card itself had the gecko imprint on it

Im not doing it for gameshark/action replay. I am doing it for sd dumping so that I can dump images from my wii to sd, rather than having to buy another ridiculously priced LG drive.

Anyhow, I noticed that guy was in Spain, so instead I ordered it from someone on amazon.com. Came out to 17.89

Also, actually I am still running 2.0 Wii firmware until I get my wireless USB adapter working.

I ordered a Wiikey SD Card Adapter for Wii for only $5.96 with Free Shipping It took about 2weeks to get it from China though but works like a charm. Faster ripping than the Drive method cheap too. I heard this is the SD Gecko v2. I like the wiikey logo perfect with my wiikey chip.

Also needed a usb reader for sd so I also got this

Heres another adapter PEGA SD Card Adapter for Wii Wiikey looks like a cheap brand rip. a dollar less than the one above
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4980~r.12293359

The SD dump method is so much faster it takes like at least 30mins to rip while the drive is 2-3hours.

Damn, the sad thing is I had searched dealextreme, buy I just did a search for gecko, and then moved on when no results came back. Oh well, the important thing is, 17$ is still a hell of a lot cheaper than most of the lg drives on ebay.
