Supercard DS (slot 1) solution has been announced! Finally.. hopefully this will light a match under M3's butt to get them into gear with G6 DS :) I got an e-mail from Romman regarding this, and have posted up the info on SupercardInfo as well as up here :) In the e-mail, Romman said he would be shipping out soon.. so I'm thinking maybe within a week or two's time period
Feature list:
- Uses a standard MicroSD/Transflash memory card.
- Plug and Play (no need for an additional GBA cart or any type of Flashme/Passme device)
- 100% support for clean ROMs - no need to patch anymore
- no PC software required, just drag and drop the file from your PC to the micro SD memory card
- Hardware save support, Unlimited storage, supports FAT, FAT32
- High speed R/W system, supports all high speed flash memory cards without any slow down
- The best hardware design. It is compatible with all current and future DS consoles, same size as original DS cartridge - does NOT stick out!
- Fully upgradeable firmware and skinning support
Additional functions which may be built in (not 100% sure):
- Can interact with GBA slot. Support SC Rumble Series as a rumble pak
- Using the Supercard DS software (not required), you can trim ROMs, allow software resetting, and many other functions!
So from what you know, what are the advantages of the SDS and M3 Lite? Which one would you prefer? I think the SDS is about 55 dollars and you don't need to buy a Passcard right and the M3 Lite is about 100 with the Passcard.
Well, M3 will be coming out with a slot 1 solution shortly as well (the G6 DS). But if you want to play GBA.. I'd get the M3 Lite. Supercard DS will only allow for DS games and I have no idea about how compatible it -really- will be with ROMs. I personally would wait until other people have tried it to see how great it really is.. but I expect it to be something like the DS-X (pretty damn cool).. but the not-so-overpriced solution :)
But again.. its not out YET. It will be out shortly.. so if you can wait til probably after the holidays then its worth the wait (but I bet G6 will come out soon after this does :P)
