DS Flash Equipment > Does the mini-SD (M3 or Supercard) use less battery?

#84043 - Canadaka - Sat May 20, 2006 8:01 am

I am wondering if the mini-SD memory versions of the M3 and the Supercard use less of the DS's battery.

A mini-SD card uses less power than an SD card, but is it noticable? And is worth the price difference? mini-SD is still more expensive than SD

Supposedly, the M3 uses less power than supercard. I have not compared them side by side, since I don't have both.

Yes I have read that also, but my real quesiton isn't really about M3 vs Supercard, because im sure the normal SD versions, the M3 uses less.

But do the mini SD versions use less than there SD counterparts?

Can I ask how much more power the supercard's use right now? is it like halfing the ds battery life or only a using a quater more?
