Just figured I'd let you guys know about this, since a lot of people don't like the idea of having to cut holes in their carts, plus having an SD card stick out looks a little goofy anyway.

I also know some of you guys were using half-height SD cards (aka RS-MMC) but those weren't really ideal since they topped out at 2GB, they never made microSD to RS-MMC adapters, and the little adapter that converted it to regular SD was terrible and snapped off all the time.

I found this dude and while it took a few weeks to get it (he custom makes them) I can now report it works wonderfully:

There is some very strong clear tab installed so that you can pull it out of your SD2SNES or what-have-you very easily. And if you plug it into an SD reader, you can remove it easily by pushing it in with something (I personally use another SD card I have laying around) and then just pull on the plastic tab he installs!

I have a nice 32GB microSD card housed in my FFVI SFC cart with NO holes and NOTHING sticking out. I bought that on a whim so now that I used it I can say it works perfectly and I highly recommend it! :)

I just don't bother with microSD if I don't have to.

retrogate has them in stock,but i wouldn't waste time buying one.Ive notice it's the most popular one out there and often it sells out.

Why don't you just buy the Deluxe Editions from StoneAge Gamer so you get one of their custom cart shells already with it? Yeah it costs more but not really that much more for all purposes.

Agreed. The whole presentation of the package at SAG in my eyes makes it easily worth the dough. Plus it's shipping from North America in secure packing and I'd be worried getting board only from the Ukraine at Retrogate.

Lastly, The purple Universal from SAG looks very slick in videos on Youtube, I can't wait to see it in person.

Now, Battle Kid 2 needs to come back in stock at RZ and I can finally stop checking both of these sites every damn day! LOL
