Any Problems With Mini-sd Cards?

[karmaKid]

I've got a 4Gb mini-SD card and I was wondering if anyone had experienced any problems using these cards on the GP2X F200 with an SD adaptor?

Should I stick to just music and video on it, or can I put ROMS and stuff on it safely?

Cheers.

I would be very surprised if the GP2X wipes the card. Worst comes to worts yo might have to just dump them onto a regular SD card to get them working. But I have not tested this. This is only what I think

I have a mini-sd in an adapter and it works fine!

i sometimes have problems reading it with my card reader, but i think the card reader is a bit dodgy, no problems at all in the gp2x.

Edit:

I don't know why putting videos and mp3s would be 'safer' than 'roms and stuff' tho?

PS: i have a F100 but F200 should be no different. Anyway, i think a mini-sd is just a normal sd in a smaller bit of plastic...the adapter just makes it bigger!

Shouldn't matter, I've tried microsd and minisd no major problems.

Same here, I have tried minisd with a F100, no problems at all..

Probably because from my point of view I'll have the music and vid's on my Ipod, so if the card goes 'belly-up' for whatever reason I've still got my games on the 'safe' card!

However, I guess becuase video needs constant access to the SD card then maybe video/music content puts more demand on the SD card itself.
