What's happening (or what's new) with Vita homebrew?
I haven't used mine in more than a year. Maybe two.
Even things that aren't games can't escape this phrase
i'd be interested to find where i can insert a HDD into a smart phone (yes not everyone lives in america and has unlimited data to listen to low quality and poor artist paying support streaming services) or in a digital camera
It's pretty fucking insane how much data you can store on a card the size of a finger nail.
This is gonna change the game with raspberry pi stuff.
Lol. That fake twitter page always gets me.
Modern filesystems can support huge sizes. Usually, the numbers manufacturers give out for "biggest possible storage" are bullshit.Will the Switch even be able to support a card that big?
How come an SD card is fine for handhelds but doesn't apply to console storage. Is an SSD fundamentally different to a SD card? Constant read and writing the factor that doesn't work as well?
The issue with the 400GB card is going to be cost: It will likely cost most per GB than a 128 or 256 card so, outside of convenience or a need to lighten one's wallet, it's not a good investment. Just to illustrate this, let's view the 128 GB+ offerings on Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B010Q57S62/
128 GB: Roughly 47c/GB
200 GB: Roughly 50c/GB
256 GB: Roughly 87c/GB
Bear in mind, this is the price per GB before applicable sales tax, so you'll be paying even more for the 256 GB card. Be it the Switch, GPD or Smach-Z (if the latter ever comes out), you should be fine with 128GB for the time being unless you:
A) Go all digital on the Switch
B) Download all of the games
Yes, it's impressive technology but it will not be worth its launch price.
EDIT: Just like I said: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074RNRM2B/?tag=neogaf0e-20
This just angers me even more that Vita went proprietary memory card format. I would have paid more for a Vita that had standard SD card support
Currently about to run out of space on my 128GB card in my MP3 player. Debating whether to grab a soon-to-be-cheaper 256GB card and continue with 320kbps files or take the plunge and upgrade to FLAC.
The thought of re-ripping about a thousand CDs fills me with trepidation though.
Same here, I've only ripped about a 1/10 of my CD's. It's so time consuming. But worth it.
I would like to travel back in time and show my 14 yo self that every videogame ever created up until then (and a few thousands that had yet to be released) for every system including arcades, fit a card the size of a thumbnail.
Actually, how reliable are these things these days ?
