I have a deep desire to play backups of Nintendo DS games I have legally bought. I also want to play homebrew because they probably ported Pong (not really.)
So I asked around and I decided I would either buy the "Supercard" for the DS slot and corresponding "Supercard Lite" to go in the GBA slot, or the "PassCard 3" and "M3 Adapter Lite".
I was originally gonna go with the later as I have the impression it's higher quality, but it costs like $90 to get both parts while the Supercard stuff will cost around $55, and the issues seem minor - uglier interface, issues with homebrew stuff.
I was wondering if you guys had any horror stories about the Supercard or if I'm safe in buying it? The Supercard lite version takes annoyingly small and overpriced MicroSD cards, but I can probably handle it.. they're like $25 for 1gb.
Also, "Supercard Lite Rumble" - I found this for cheap, is it more problematic than the normal one or is it just a cute new gimmick to have?

Just get a normal Supercard instead of a Supercard Lite. It costs less (especially the SD) and the only difference is that it pokes out the bottom, but it doesn't annoy me when I hold my DS Lite.
Basically, you pay more to be a lazy fuck.

Don't listen to this man, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
They both play roms, I don't see the problem with either.

I like the idea of it sitting flush with the system. Also, according to this review: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=35982 the Lite version has better performance, games will load faster.
I guess I'll go and get the Supercard thing, then. Thanks, all.

It's not like it takes long to load the NDS roms. GBA roms can take a little while.
I just think that the Lite version is a waste of money.
There's also the fact that these guys don't make very high quality products. A few of my friends got legit Supercards, and when putting the SD card in a bit of plastic snapped and the SD card doesn't lock in place. Instead, the DS Lite holds the SD card in. Bad luck if it happens with the Supercard Lite, because you'll have to hold it in with sticky tape.
Oh, and too bad if you have a black DS. The Supercard Lite only comes in white.
