Mallard Games #1 Posted August 4, 2019 I'm thinking of getting a Toshiba FlashAir W-04 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card. I tried looking for a 8gig one but it was 3 times more expensive and an older version as well. Will this one work with the harmony/harmony encore?

Mallard Games #2 Posted August 13, 2019 Also does anyone know what the maximum size SD card the At Games Atari Flashback Portable will accept? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nukey Shay #3 Posted August 13, 2019 How are 8gb cards more expensive? Are you looking at multipacks? This is the card I use. No issues with it whatsoever from the portable: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDHC-Memory-RETAIL-PACKAGE/dp/B000UZL0YU/ Keep in mind that compatibility rate drops with higher capacity cards...those might work, but probably not. 8gb is more than you'll ever need for these Roms. And I'd steer clear of used cards...no telling how many times those were already rewritten to. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toshiba wireless LAN-enabled SDHC memory card FlashAir 8GB Class10 SD-WE008G https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UMTNB2S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_8cNuDb199X3NX. The 32gb is $31.34 while the 8gb one is $67.27. Edited August 13, 2019 by Mallard Games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nukey Shay #5 Posted August 13, 2019 Nu-huh, that 32gb card in OP is used. In which case, it might be worthless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but it says "like new" which might mean it's simply open package but unused. Either way it's a huge $30 difference for a 24gb loss not that it matters cause more than likely it will not work.

Nukey Shay #7 Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Buyer beware. "So what if it was rewritten thousands of times, it looks brand new!" Why do you need so much storage space for the little 2600? You could probably fit 2600 variants of every Rom out there in 8gb BTW TJ got that Toshiba 32gb Flashair working for Harmony...but it looks like a major pain in the butt to accomplish (and the problems do not end there): Edited August 13, 2019 by Nukey Shay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The W-04 cannot be found that small, they all start at 16GB. I suppose the are not produced that small? The W-03 at 8GB are rare and utterly expensive. If the AFP will only accept 8GB max, can't you take a larger cart and format it to 8GB? Then you could get 32GB starting at ~$35. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you format a 32gb cart to 8gb and can it be undone at a later time? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Jentzsch #15 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Depends on the OS. Google is your friend. 😄 And you can format it back to larger size, no problem. Edited August 16, 2019 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nukey Shay #16 Posted August 17, 2019 Not sure if anyone has gotten >8GB cards to work for the portable. Wireless ones might be another issue altogether. If you get a result tho, please drop a note in the faq: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
