Legend Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I'm about to order a harmony cart. I was wondering how much of a difference there is between the Micro sd card version vs the regular sd card version other than just the physical card size. I know this seems like a silly question. What is a good, confirmed brand card? What definitely won't work? What kind of card comes with it when you add it to the order? Name brand, or just a generic one? If you order the micro sd card version, would it include a micro sd rather than a regular sd? What is a good size? Seems like it would really only need a couple gigs, if that even. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/350187-sd-or-micro-sd-what-brand/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberman94 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I would choose the Micro SD card version because nowadays it’s more common. Best brand you can choose IMO is a SanDisk Card but there might be others that are OK, too. You can choose the smallest version of GB size - I think 2 GB would be enough to cover every game and collecting you can get for the 2600 but normally you will get a 16 GB for a small sum (e.g. I ordered a 32 GB SanDisk Micro SD Card some days ago for just 6,60 Euro).

Keatah Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 200MB will hold you 20K ROMS with room to spare. Lexar, SanDisk, PNY, Kingston, and others are good brand names. SD vs MicroSD sizes is pretty much a personal preference and matter of what device accepts what. MicroSD will fit both SD and MicroSD slots.

Legend Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks guys. Went with micro sd. Though, in hindsight, think I should have went for sd just cause bigger and easier to handle.

BIGHMW Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I simply use 1 GB vintage Dell/Kingston SD cards with all of my gaming units, 1 GB is plenty considering that we're only dealing with mere K's of memory per title here.

CatPix Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have had the SD version back when I think it was either the only option or micro-SD was new. I have used a Kingston 256Mo SD card since then, (probably from an early digital camera :D) and it's plenty enough unless you are really adamant in having the whole library of the 2600 in PAL and NTSC versions + all homebrews. I don't think the Harmony is really picky like Everdrive can be, but the amount of data to read is so small.

+LS650 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 The last time I went to the local electronics shop looking for a low capacity SD card, they didn't even have any regular SD cards. The closest I could get was a 16gb MicroSD with an SD-size adapter, but that seems to work fine in my Harmony cart.
