SmartMedia card difference?

[VirtuaLeech]

Hi,

I am new to the GP32 and orderd one last week. I am now in the proces of buying SmartMedia cards to hold all my MP3, movies and emulators.

Now I am reading things about SmartMedia cards with ID and SmartMedia cards without ID. Is there any difference between these two types? If so, whice should I buy? Also are there any (significant) differences between the cheap and expensive brands?

Hope someone can help me answer these questions.

Thanks in advance (sorry for my english).

You should be able to get 128mb smartcards for £20 to £25

---last I heard 7dayshop.com was the cheapest - I have no idea bout the ID thingy? -- don't think it matters as it has never been pointed out when I've bought mine.

Wo that's a good price I payed 25 for a 64mb card!

Where did you pay £25 for a 64mb SMC? I've seen places selling 128mb ones for £21, and once I get my GP32 I'll be getting a couple

Where've you seen them on sale for £21?

on gadgetshop 128mb cards cost £60 (I have £50 in vouchers)

I think the ID thingy is to do with commercial games supplied on SMC, rather than homebrew stuff.

I think it was an eBay shop, and I'm pretty sure they were brand new (he was selling thousands of them)
