SD Adapter
« Reply #25 on: May 02, 2003, 07:29:24 PM »
i know the reason people don't think this could be used as a 'normal' memory card is cause of the stupid file count limit inherent in the GCN.  Theoretically though, wouldn't it be possible to put software on the sd, format it if you will, so that it could act as multiple memory cards.  So that you would then have to pick which virtual memory card on the sd card you wanted for a particular game?

Also, do you think nintendo is going to package an sd with the adaptor?  seldomly does one find a store that would sell both a nintendo accessory and sd cards unless its like a comp usa.

The file count limit has nothing to do with it. Nintendo says a game has to be specifically programmed to be able to save in SD card format...

heres hwoi the sd card would work...on the memory card menu it would appear as SD File...one game. Essentuially it would be like a zip file(not compressed, but you nkow like a package) with tons of gamefiles withinside it.I wouldnt doubt all future games will support sd in some form.

Well that's a good idea, but that's not how it might actually work though....Or, if you have an SD adaptor inserted, it might change the cube's main menu system a little...

the very fact that theres a game file limit may mean the file system is very static and that may be the only way to do it. Although i said would instead of could.

Nintendo could always release or bundle Save Management software that let you archive saves into the SD format, that wouldn't be limited by the save format block limit, but it would be tedious to boot up and repeatedly swap save files back onto another card (or even into an "Active" area where the SD Card acts like a memory card), then reboot for what game you wanted.
