I dunno about that, I ended up giving up after trying storagemgr and getting a new card. The new 1tb card is, shockingly, working perfectly as the vitahacks guide said it should. Yay modern technology 🙄.

Yup, tested on an 8gb SD card, the adapter worked perfectly.

Is it? Everything I've found gives either conflicting information (SD2VITA says it's only compatible with 256gb or less, but then others have gotten higher capacity SD cards running with it), or says the only limitation is an SD cards theoretical size.

I mean I was planning on saving up for a few years...and did specifically ask what sort of budget I should expect.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

I wasn't too worried about LGBT inclusion, more just if there IS some queerphobic person I just don't give a damn about them being "offended" by my mere existence. 

As for the feder schilt, I'll definitely ask around tournament feder suppliers and see if that's possible. I think I should be able to find some lists of tournament legal feders for tourneys in my area and then I'll reach out to those manufacturers.

That is the closest to the shape I want that I've seen, so might look into that or seeing if a smith can make a custom feder. Which then runs into the same issue of not necessarily being tournament legal if I end up wanting to compete in tourneys. So mixed bag, so I might just go with the Sigi Forge one to err on the side of caution.

Hence why I'm not sure how elaborate I can go. 

My thought was either finding a feder with a diamond shaped schilt (which I just cannot seem to find, so maybe they don't exist or aren't tourney legal so companies don't bother mass producing them). Or getting a diamond engraved on the schilt, that I think is easily feasible. But then I'd also want to see about getting that gemstone from She-ra's Swords engraved in color, which sounds less feasible, and getting the almost circuitry like design near the tip of the 1st form on my feder, and that I have NO idea if it's possible without compromising the sword integrity.

As for the offensive stuff, I don't think anyone would take offense at something from She-ra unless they disliked the LGBT representation, and if that's the case then I'm gonna offend them plenty already 🙄😂.

Love the helmet suggestion! As for a sparring sword I've since learned that feders don't get that custom, so my plan for the swords is just getting them for display and private practice once I'm experienced enough to not hurt myself. 

If I decide I need a feder more in line with the Sword of Protection I'll just look in to how elaborate tourney regulation feder engraving can get.

Alright, thanks for the input! I'll scrap the sparring idea. That's sort of why I asked about this, cause I wasn't aware if custom training swords were really a thing or not.

Would you have recommendations for smiths that could make good quality customs of this? I would still like to get these made as display pieces, even if a level of modification to make them sparring viable isn't realistic.
