Best SD Card Size/Speed for GDEMU?

Hi all,

I just installed my GDEmu yesterday and I’m happy with it.

All is well with the 8GB card that came with it but I’m looking for a bigger SD card to put games on etc.

I don’t want the entire DC library on the card, just day 30 odd games max. Would a 64GB card be OK for this? I presume the faster the speed the better also?

Your input on this will be greatly appreciated!

You can use virtually any capacity card you'd like. I've tested up to 1TB, personally.

Regarding brand, I highly suggest purchasing directly from the official SanDisk online store:
https://shop.sandisk.com/product-portfo ... s/sd-cards

Any SD card available for sale there will be suitable in terms of class/speed.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Will a faster card be reflected in quicker load/boot times etc?

Cheers

If you choose any available on the SanDisk shop, no. Those faster speeds will only benefit copying disc images to your SD card from computer (or copying them from SD card to computer should you ever need to do so).
