little note, this is a quick type up from the top of my head so may be quite hard to read
I'll do a quick list, but there's so many it won't be 100%
Slot-1 (DS Slot) cards:
M3 DS Simply
R4 DS
EZFlash V
G6 DS Real (8Gb)
Supercard DS
CycloDS
DS-X (4Gb, 16Gb)
Slot-1 cards are the newest way of laoding homebrew/backups on the DS, they generally only need a microSD to work (the G6 and DS-X have their own memory) they can all play clean (unpatched) DS games and all can be used as NoPass devices to load slot-2 carts. They are not compatible with any GBA games or homebrew.
Slot-2 (GBA Slot) cards:
M3 Perfect Range (CF, SD, MiniSD, Lite)
M3 Pro Range (MiniSD, Lite)
Supercard Range (CF, SD, MiniSD, Lite, Rumble)
EZFlash IV (MiniSD, MicroSD)
G6 Range (1G, 2G, 4G, Lite)
Slot-2 cards are the older devices, they can play GBA games (except the M3 Pro) and GBA homebrew, to play DSgaes you need a method of lopading the GBA cart in DS mode (Pass, NoPass or Firmware methods). Almost all slot-2 devices require a memory card of some form for storage (the G6 has onboard storage). DS games need to be patched to work.
Pass Devices (no longer used):
PassMe
PassMe2
Passkey
Passkey2
Superpass
Superpass2
Pass devices are the old way of loading slot-2 cards in DS mode, they required an original DS game to work, and later DS's blocked the first versions (hence the 2nd version of each device)
NoPass Devices:
Passcard 3
Superkey
NoPass devices are the newer method for loading slot-2 cards in DS mode, they are the same size as a DS game and do not need a real game to work (hence the NoPass name)
Firmware Replacements:
FlashMe
FWnitro
These are firmware replacements which add numerous benefits to the DS, FlashMe keeps the majority of the DS firmware (you can remove the health screen) but disables the RSA checking so you can load Download play games form anything, it also allows you to boot slot-2 cards in DS mdoe without a Pass or NoPass device.
FWNitro is a complete firmware replacement and adds numerous features, but may also lack some from the original firmware, it also is not compatible with the M3 DS SImply or R4DS.
