I already have a solt 1 solution, the M3 Simply, but now I want a slot 2 solution. Many of the slot 2 solutions have an extra item for slot 1 called a "super key" or "pass card." Do I need a "super key" or "pass card" If I just want to use the Slot 2 solution for GBA backups? I figured I could use my M3 Simply for DS backups and then something like the SuperCard LITE for my GBA games.


So I guess what I'm asking is will the SuperCard LITE work on it's own for GBA games or would I still need one of the slot 1 devices even though DS backups won't be played?

You M3 DS Simply will work as a Passcard/Superkey/etc. so you don't need one of those (if you turn on your Simply now, look at the third icon "boot slot-2", thats what it's for)

I'm too drunk and tired to bother explaining why not to get a supercard lite for GBA games, maybe someone else could for me.

The "boot slot 2" option doesn't work for me. It freezes the DS when I have a GBA game cart inserted.

Thanks for the info though, I'll probably end up ordering the SuperCard LITE.

if you just need to play GBA games, you dont need to bother using the m3 simply as a boot solution at all. using something like a passcard is only for if you want to play DS games from slot 2
