Compact Flash

[Dozer]

I thought that moviepark only let you play 10fps anyway so a higher frame rate wouldnt make n e difference.

 

[abbibi]

I think he meant bitrate, not framerate. I think the important thing is that we will finally have room for the full talkie versions of the lucasarts games. Also, being able to fit multiple full-length movies onto a single card is nice too.

cant wait to see if it works im sure abbibi will be on the news page

Capacity: Fujifilm -Picture Cards™ are currently available in capacities of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB, with the 512MB card widely available in July 2003. The media's development roadmap shows storage capacity potential of up to 8GB.

Dimensions: 20mm x 25mm x 1.7mm (0.8 x 1.0 x 0.07 inches). This size makes the -Picture Card™ the smallest memory card available.

Read/Write Speeds: The -Picture Card™ has one of the fastest read/write speeds on the market. These high speeds can greatly enhance the user's experience with a product. For example, a photographer can take new pictures or view existing images more quickly with the -Picture Card™ media than with other, slower media formats.

Power Consumption: The -Picture Card™ is designed to use minimal power. Users will benefit from the convenience and savings of longer battery life on a single charge.

Compatibility: Adapters make -Picture Cards™ compatible with other media. A PC card adapter, CompactFlash™ adapter and USB card reader are currently available for the -Picture Card™.

8 GB anyone?

$109 for a 256MB card on amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008O0P3/qid=1057997750/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/002-5381984-9638402?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846)

It was the first place I checked, I am sure you can find them cheaper some where

 

[abbibi]

pip, NiN^_^NiN lives in Australia. 200AUD is about right.

 

[Tobriand]

Uk price best I could find was ~£80 (inc vat, not sur about delivery) so even if it works, I won't be getting one anytime soon. But I'll look forward to the day I can

You could buy 4 128 meg SMCs for that money!

 

[NiN^_^NiN]

i could only buy 4 smc 128mb cards for $200 actually i would need alil more than $200 to get 4 <_<

[abbibi]

yes, but they would be separate cards. The advantage of a 256 card is longer movies, and the full talkie version of Sam & Max.

If it works, I have a few neat ideas. I'm pretty sure that cards use a different unique ID system from Smartmedia cards. That would mean that the adapter would have to provide the unique ID. And IF SO, then you could use multiple cards, and load all of your entware games onto every single one, because their copy protection system would be using the adapter's ID, not the individual card's ID's.

Whacha think?

 

[Tobriand]

Hey! I had that idea earlier lol

 

[abbibi]

Yar! I do be the idea pirate, come to take your credit and steal your fame! Yar!

 

[pip]

I hope the 512MB cards (coming this july) will be cheaper per MB, in which case it is well worth it.

 

[Tobriand]

True. Of course, then you have so much space that the encryptoin stuff barely matters, but if it is at a decent price and works, I'm sure I'll buy one eventually.

When I've cash, of course...

 

[Twimfy]

This sounds like another FAD I'll be foolishly pouring my money into.

 

[Dozer]

So has anyone tested the xd card adapter yet? Also does anyone think that it mite b slower?

 

[Azure]

On newegg you could buy the compact flash cards for a lot cheaper. $44 for a 256mb CF and $98 for a 512mb CF.

 

[NiN^_^NiN]

Dozer abbibi brought the adapter and it should be at his house on monday then he will test it out and tell us how it all goes

Im pretty sure it will be the same speed as the smc altho it might be alot quicker i dont know???

It only uses the smc pinout so it might be alot faster altho i dont knwo if the gp32 can handle it but im sure they worked all that out when they made the adapter.

...But to reiterate, I have one one order, and will keep everyone updated on my progress with the adapter and my 256mb card.

We aren't talking about compact-flash anymore, I'm afraid. Now its on to cards
