Card list (MSU1)
Generally every card should work with sd2snes.
However some cards, while sporting fast transfer rates, have long access times (jumping between two non-consecutive sectors on the card).
This can impact MSU1 performance when using the MSU1 audio and data features simultaneously only, as two files have to be streamed at the same time.
Generally peak access times (T_max in the table below) up to 1 ms are acceptable for MSU1. I’ve come across cards with maximum access times as long as 9 ms. If the peak access time is slightly above 1 ms, low average access times (T_avg in the table below) can make up for it sometimes.
Note that cards with long access times can still be suitable for low-bandwidth and smaller transfers per frame. Also, using only the data or the audio extension at a given time increases tolerance.
As a rule of thumb the acceptable peak access time is 10 ms for audio only, 2 ms for data only.
On this page cards tested with sd2snes will be listed, including their measured peak+average access time, brand, maker/product code, revision, and serial number, and if MSU1 audio+video playback at full bandwidth is possible.

A “Short” SD card adapter for use with MicroSD cards.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZEUCZY
This might get flagged as SPAM, but it could be useful.
Is it possible, that a card works in ED64 but not in sd2snes?
It’s a 64 GB ADATA SDHC Class 10 – always telling me, menu.bin was not found. But I just copied everything from the 4 GB Card I used before.
Make sure the 64GB card is FAT32 formatted, NOT exFAT. Windows cannot do this out of the box I think, you will need a special formatting tool. If the card is already FAT32 formatted, it should work…
So what 32GB SDHC card shall i buy, any recommendations please?
Thanks! 🙂

sorry i open now sd2snes for read rev, is “H”
OK thanks! Rev.H is good. Latest firmware has a little MSU audio bug because I wanted to fix something for Rev.G.
https://sd2snes.de/files/v0.1.7d-dac/fpga_base.bit
Please try this file (replace it in your sd2snes folder), it should fix the MSU1 audio distortion. (Just a test, not for the Cx4 games yet)
Wow, you are great!!! solve my problem 🙂
thanks bro and great work with this fw 😉
The fix suggested here works on my Samsung EVO+ 32GB micro SD as well. Before I had screeching sound. Changed the Firmware file and that fixed it.

Works perfect with sd2snes and msu-1, i buy It years ago a seller in eBay u.k. Today in Amazon appears a SD Card Brand mame called qumox. Maybe is the same company ir not the colours are equal in my QUMO card and qumox Card.
I forget i try It with roadblaster and is a class 10 card.

Seems to work fine with MSU-1.
I also had a Kingston 16GB Class 10 which also worked for MSU-1 but it corrupted completely the next day already so I have no information on it and can’t honestly recommend either.

As the MSU1 library seems to keep on growing lately, this one should be a darn good find!

Been studying some specs lately (SD Association, https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/application/index.html). It seems that the new label called “Application Performance Class” refers to minimum random read/write IOPS, which is exactly what we are looking for (well at least it’s a good rule of thumb). A1: minimum 1500 IOPS read, 500 IOPS write A2: minimum 4000 IOPS read, 2000 IOPS write The above mentioned SANDISK Ultra microSDXC UHS1 is an A1 class SD card and it looks like it passed the test. So try to look for these labels as they suggest minimum random access performance. And btw: Thank you very much ikari for… Read more »
Very insightful, thanks! Sorry I was slow to approve this comment, I’ve been down with a fever for the last days.
Danke und viel Erfolg bei deinen Projekten! 🙂
Alrighty then, i tested SANDISK Ultra microSDXC UHS1 A1 with 16, 32, 64 GB’s. Here’s a short list.
avg. access times (ms):
16GB -> 0.184
32GB -> 0.192
64GB -> 0.188
max. access times (ms):
16GB -> 0.734
32GB -> 0.821
64GB -> 0.788
Wow this might be what we really need to look at. I’m trying to find a 128 gb or larger with A2 or A1 and UHS3, class 10 card although not sure if the UHS helps in this case. Anymore info on these findings would be very helpful.
Thanks for the posts guys, you helped me pick out a card. How did you guys go about testing the avg. access times and max. access times? Is there a test I can load onto the SD2SNES or is it done with the SD2SNES diagnostic firmware?
Here is a page that explains what to use to obtain benchmark information:
https://sd2snes.de/blog/cool-stuff/sd2snes-diagnostics
Actually just go to System Information in the main menu (X button) and it will measure and display access times of the inserted card.
Thanks guys
does anybody know if “kingston micro SDHC I class 10 32GB” or “Adata micro SD 32GB” (HC or XC) works fine with SD2SNES? i bought a “Kingston micro SD XC class 10 64GB” yesterday and just showed me the error “sd2snes/menu.bin file not found”
Any SDXC card is pre-formatted with the newer exFAT file system which is currently not supported by sd2snes so it cannot see any files on the card. You need to reformat it with FAT32 using a third party tool (or a unix like operating system) because Windows doesn’t “support” FAT32 on volumes larger than 32GB.
Here is a tool that seems to work well for Windows: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
Also, using only the data or the audio extension at a given time increases tolerance.

I have two SD Cards (both 32GB) that perform decently. Test performed on the 1.11.0b1 firmware The first is this Sandisk and the second is this Kingston. One thing I have to mention for people who still do these tests, it’s possible that upon first bootup, by the time everything initializes, you could get a first-reading where the max access time is ~25ms (which is obviously ridiculous), this delay until the card is fully ready for testing seems to scale with how filled the card is, and how many small files there seems to be. So don’t be think your… Read more »
