Works with all games, however I noticed with Guitar Hero 3, it takes a minute or 2 to read, and another min or 2 to write. This behavior does not replicate with other Guitar Heros.
It's great to not have to worry about free space on the MC.
Again, it works great with FMCB. And I got my 128's shipped directly from Hong Kong when they first came out. They work good.
what DJ said is true. quite a few of us installers have had trouble with the 64Mb cards from china. i have lost 2 and DJ has stopped accepting them because the fail rate is too high. now i am not calling you a liar but that you are lucky with the cards you have.Quote:

the best way is to use a 8 or 16Mb card for FMCB and your home brew elfs, keep this in slot 2 and use your 128 Mb card in slot 1 for saves.
even so i have still seen some games that refuse to see a large card in slot 1 and for those i need to put a 8Mb card in slot 1 for saves.
I've only dabbled with the 2 128's I have, never touched anything between 8 and 128.
Maybe the 64's gave it a bad rap? The 128's were the same price as the 8's so I gave em a try and was impressed (until I played Guitar Hero 3).
I can go by what I've heard for the 32-64's, but I say give the 128's a chance. My 2 have been working fine for 2 years.
Maybe they fixed their ways.
Maybe. But there is usually more than one factory and company in China that makes those cards.Quote:

Does it work reliably? Anyone news?Quote:

May as well get a 2.5" (notebook size) SATA drive and a IDE--SATA adapter (Marvell chipset) to use with an Official network adapter, in which case you can have network AND the hard drive. The only downside is that the Official network adapters are hard to find in some countries from what I hear (not a problem in USA with craigslist).
