    Physically Smaller SD Cards?

    Hey guys, I just got my everdrive and was wondering if there's any card that will fit into it that is small enough to fit into a N64 shell without modification? I don't really plan to take the SD card out, so I just wanted to close it up on a N64 shell.

    Thanks for any help.

    AFAIK half-height SD cards don't exist- it would be basically incompatible with everything, because if it's a push to eject, it'll get stuck inside, and if it's a pull to eject then you won't be able to pull it out.

    Maybe open it up and move the SD card slot down a tad further? Shouldn't be too hard to de-solder it and move it to a better place.

    EDIT- remove SD card reader, and solder this on. That way you can place the reader anywhere you want, and it's sort of pre-built.

    In that case, find one of the sd cards that actually only fills half the space and cut it in half.

    Theres a thread about it in this very forum

    Some SANDISK cards have a single chip solution which is just that. And some models are transparent, which allow you to not destroy it by seeing where you can safely cut. :)

    Well there is a reason it lost. Most people are not interested in taking their cart apart to load ROMs onto it.

    I like the Mega EverDrive approach. If he ever redoes ED64 PCB he should see if he can fit microSD and regular SD.

    As I stated in the vote thread, how often does the romset ever really update at this point if you just buy a decent size card? The whole 'I may need to load new roms' argument didn't really vibe with me at all. I agree with your post
