Im pretty sure that the maximum size for the SD cards on the DS is 4GB, please correct me if I'm wrong, but what would happen if you were to use a 6GB card?
Thanks in advance.

The biggest conforming SD cards are 2 GB. If you try to use an SDHC card in a device that uses only the original SD protocol, the device will not recognize the card.[1]

Currently, SDHC can go as high as 32GB. That, and the fact that tepples is right.

Hm, does any homebrew support SDHC? I know of a few of the 'flashcart' type devices that support it in various ways (like the M3's internal version of Moonshell) but does any widely available homebrew support them?

Adjust the DLDI subdrivers and they do.

doesnt the ewin2 support Micro SDHC? then you would just need the DLDI for that card right?

As I understand it, Mighty Max is saying that an existing DLDI might work only with SD cards, and a card might need a new DLDI that understands SDHC in addition to SD.

Yeah, the DLDI driver would need to specifically support SDHC, I think. I know that in the case of the CycloDS Evolution, theie DLDI driver has separate support for both types of microSD and the original version relied on a flag being set by their menu when you launched the homebrew in order to know which type of card you were using. However, that wouldn't work with homebrews laucnhed through DSOrganize or some other loader, so Team Cyclops released an updated driver capable of doing the detection on its own.
THis is all second-hand knowledge since I don't have any SDHC cards to test with, but now that they prices on them are coming down, I've been thinking of getting one just for music. Probably ought to wait for the prices to come down a bit further, though.

SDHC needs support both on HW and SW side.
so updated DLDI only can make it work on HW that has SDHC option.
any SPI mode HW (like datel gnm) should be compatible, but other
specially older are not at all SDHC compatible, like R4/M3 defenetly
can not support SDHC (tested also)
