Very Cheap 32mb Smartmedia (uk Only)

[DJWillis]

This post is shamelessly nicked from the excellent DVD Forums site .

Jacobs Digital Photo & Video are offering 32MB SmartMedia here for the great price of £1.99 each + £3 P&P per order. If you’re after a few cards for the odd games, maybe a few ROMs etc. then it looks like a great deal.

You could get 10 * 32MB cards = 320MB total for 23 delivered to your door .

Never used Jacobs before so I can’t vouch for them but I think I am going to get a few ordered for development cards.

you cant fit nothing on a 32mb card they aint worth the bother. they my be cheap but you might as well put it towards a 128mb card.

Nope, I believe you can fit approxiamately 32Megabytes on one of them . Of course they are worth it for 2 fucking pounds.

I have several 32mb cards, one for each emulator I use for example. You can get plenty of your favorite NES, C64 and PCEngine games on each one. I don't see the point of carrying around 128mb of NES game I'll never play. 32mb is more than you might think.

Too bad i'm not in the UK... I got some kingston 32mb cards for 8e each, and I thought that was a good deal...

Well 32MB will get you a load of old ScummVM/Sarin games on one card .

It could also get you a stack of NES ROMs, 50mins(ish) of OGG/WMA, a load of BOR stuff or a ton of home-brew games .

For £2 it looks good to me, also great for when I stuff another SMC with my dodgy attempts at SMC code ;-).

I wonder how big that would have to be? Does it mean 32 mega bites of a sandwitch or something that can form to the size of the cantainer, like rice or soup (prolly not soup, that would be measured in mega drinks)?

And I'd rather get a 128MB card for slightly more than 4x 32MB. I wounldn't need to swap as much, and BOR would need 2 SMCs & SMC swap capability

DVD Forums rulez!

As does this deal

 

[washo]

this is I think a great deal
I already have 3*128 (OGG;DVX;emus)+ 3*64(Doom;KOF91;others) and I must admit that a couple a 32M for NES or PC-E could be good

see you :lol:

Also, its possible to fit up to 2 SMC's into one SMC plastic clamshell holder thingy (ok, 3 if you don't mind it bulging a tiny bit ;I ).

So even with a load of 32mb cards its not too hard to carry them all around along with any other cards you already have 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

i got a little smc pack thingy that came with my digi cam.

i can cary all me 8 128mb cards around with me no problem lol

You can get a CD's worth of music - if you use Ogg, or about half a dozen music videos, or 50+ ebooks on a 32MB card - not bad for 2 quid!

 

[Enslaved]

Aww now im mad I dont live in the UK, thats so cheap!

 

[Huxley]

Hurrah! I think I'll buy five & one 128Mb for when I get my hand on my Gp32 on the 29th.

Thanks for the heads up

 

[CABBAGES]

at first i thought it would be crap but then i remember that some emulators dont like being on the same card anyway like os9x and scumm os9x stopped working untill i deleted my os9x config file thing. so i could put them all on seperate cards . simpsons episodes could fit on one. oh and anyone found really cheap 128 mb cards anywhere ? <_<

 

[Meonlyeviler]

The nice thing about having multiple cards is that you can have all your games on one and all your "private" collection on another

 

[mr twit]

Suhweeeeet! I think I'll buy four.

 

[khephren]

What a great deal, a card for each emulator- that would make life easier!
