Almost all SD cards are supported. When I say almost, I mean some won't work like a cheap ripoff of an SD card. All capacities are supported!!

My mom just cashed some of my checks so I'm sitting here with $85 and no SD cards.... BTW I ordered my gp2x MKII today from gp32z. How long should it take to get in? (I live in the states)

ordered this morning.

got it today. Formatting right now.

While I'm formatting it says
Capacity:
955MB
File system:
FAT32
Allocation unit size:
Default allocation size

I'm hoping 955 MB isn't the max capacity of this 4GB card I just got... That better be something else. 955 was the only choice.

Tuesday my dad is taking the card to work to get it formatted by a card reader, every single card reader we have is completely broken.

 

[Shikaku]

Try this under Windows and the SD card plugged in:

Open up Computer Management under Control Panel, Administrative Tools.

Click on the text that says Disk Management under Storage on the Left

You should see all your drives/partitions on the right now. Check out the space with the colored boxes and look at the area where your SD card drive letter is.

If there is a black box with a colored box next to it, right click the colored box and click delete partition. Then right click the black box that combined with the blue box and hit format (DO NOT FORMAT FROM MY COMPUTER).

If there is not, then can't help you...

Viking cards are hit and miss (and also very cheap) because they are surplus stock from other brands. Mine was a Toshiba 1GB, which works well for flashing. Peel off the Viking sticker to find out what YOURS is!

Ehehe, I'm going to try that when I get it - sounds funky.

I also have a 4GB SD card that I can only format as 1GB.

Transcends website states that many card reader/writers cannot handle such a large capacity.

They have a utility there which is supposed to sort it, but failed for me

They also mention that there own reader will work ok, but not sure if i'll be able to format with a reader, presumably i need a reader/writer ?

Can anyone recommend a reader/writer that they've had success in formatting a 4gb card with ?
