I am planning to get an M3 Simply. I wanted to know if there are any lower priced slot 2 devices that I can use with the simply to play GBA backups. The M3 Perfect is ~$75 which is quite a bit more than the simply. I was considering getting a supercard lite but mr_hanky says its not a good choice for a slot 2 cart.
You might want to have a look into the EZ Flash 3-1, it allows you to load GBA games from the MicroSD in the Simply into slot-2 then ran. It also has a built in rumble and RAM expansion functions.
You might want to do some research into how it works, as I havn't bought mine yet so don't know the details.
I had read about the ez flash 3-in-1 but I understood that it would only work with the Ez flash V and not with M3 Simply or any other Slot 1 loader. Do you know of someone who has managed to get the combination of m3 simply and ez 3in1 working together? if this is true, i'll be very happy indeed :)
There is a homebrew application that allows the M3 to use the 3-1. Also I think newer M3 firmwares allow direct support with it, however until I buy my own 3-1 I am unsure about that part.
To complete this query for future searchers, I searched around and apparently some devs have managed to get the ez 3in1 working with the R4, so I have no doubt the M3 Simply will also be able to do this. The games are loaded using DLDI but its not 100% yet:

* Rumble is WIP (but it sounds pretty hopeful)
