Also on the website http://m3wiki.com/index.php?title=Media_Card It says to format with FAT16. I thought FAT32 is better? or are they just talking about a certain kind of card?

Quote:
As of firmware 27 the M3 team has made some improvment in the read speed of SD cards. M3-MiniSD v1 Firmware 27

Sandisk 1Gb MiniSD

Formating methods and results.

FAT32 (Default cluster size)
Castlevania Test: 3 of 5 (4xDMA, Trim-rom, Software reset)

FAT16 (Default cluster size)
Castlevania Test: 3 of 5 (4xDMA, Trim-rom, Software reset)

FAT16 (32k cluster size)
Castlevania Test: 3.5 of 5 (4xDMA, Trim-rom, Software reset)

FAT16 (64k cluster size)
Castlevania Test: 5 of 5 (4xDMA, Trim-rom, Software reset)


There you have it! Format your cards with FAT16 Cluster Size 64k.

They're talking about the Sandisk that they're talking about. Please read everything before you ask a question about it

See? Sandisk 1Gb miniSD. Done. If you're not using it you probably won't benefit from it.

No offense dude, but the last couple days I have seen a whole bunch of threads started by you, asking questions that have been answered like 20 times already. Do like I did, as I am still fairly new to the scene... read around all the threads, check all the info, get all the answers, then, at the end if you have something you need verified and want to make sure you have it all down, ask a question.
