Sigh, just got this email from Divineo in regards to the Supercard Lite I ordered...

Dear Customer,

We are sorry the product is still with the "Pre Order" status.

Your order will be process as soon as we get them in stock

Because of Customs and Shipping Delay we are not sure when they will get IN.

Thank you for choosing Divineo.

Regards,

Assistant Manager

None of the Supercards have the hardware required to make a GBA game run correctly, namely having enough RAM. That's why the M3 Pro line is cheaper, it also forgoes GBA support.

Bah, going to have to get a cart just for the GBA now (Normally, i wouldn't care about the GBA support, but i have one with the Z80 processor in it, so it can play GB and GBC backups)

But thanks though, your telling me exactly what i want to know (Y)

Very good thread you have going here Ji@nBing! I think I'm finaly going to take the plunge back into the hand held market for the first time since the original GB and get me a DS Lite.

Has anyone bought from Gamersection.ca before? Are they reliable?

:angry: Me too. Damn them!! And they have got good user reviews somehow. I knew it was a mistake to get it from somewhere else other than good 'ol trustworthy kicktrading. Oh well, I'm thinking of getting an M3 Lite as well. Looks like I might end up recieving them both at the same time :p

I've heard good and bad things about them. Most of the complaints involve their high prices. What are you looking at getting?

[Danrarbc]

Heh, I'm thinking it's even worse for me.

I preordered with Divineo and haven't gotten that warning email at all.

[Ji@nBing]

:angry: Bastards!! I sent them my money 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks!!

I didn't get a warning email, this was a reply to one I sent them. It's because they're not an "official" Supercard dealer, I think. I should do more research next time.

I was thinking of the Supercard Lite package (excluding MicroSD), last checked they have 29 in stock as of this post. Is $78.50US a good/reasonable price?

[Bei337]

haha i still havn't ordered the Supercard Lite, I need some reviews first.

JianBing, if u are buying M3 Lite as well, u probably will sell ur Supercard Lite, and u can get rid of it easily by selling it to me :p

And $78.5 sounds good to me rayjin.

BTW, new Firmware for Supercard is out! Starfox works great on it!

[Shadrack]

Can someone post a summary on where we are at in regards to flash GBA cards that fit flush in the DS Lite? Like, when is the G6 Lite in English going to be out... is the supercard lite available?

[DomG]

EZF4 software is up too, and Star Fox works on it also. Now, if only I could understand Japanese...

Ya... I like some review too... there are just too many choices out there. I don't know what's the best for me. I was first looking at the G6 Lite, then now I probably prefer SC Lite because of the expandability of size. I would like to know the compatibility of SC Lite though for Homebrew apps, GBA, and NDS. THis thing might just well replace my PDA :rofl:

So far, we have the G6Lite and the Supercard Lite that sit flush. The SCL is available, if you can find a place that isn't out of stock, and I do believe the English G6L is out too. There is also the EZFlash IV Lite (what I use), it sticks out less than a millimetre. However, homebrew compatibility isn't great, but GBA and DS compatibility is top notch.

Also, Winsunx are listing the M3 Lite, but they don't have a price or release date, so it's probably speculation.

yay! i just got another SuperKey :) from the same store. this one works well :) they traded it at no charge (asides from me shipping to them).

now back to ScummVM on the DS Lite :D

[Bei337]

Congratz!

What does ScummVM do exactly?

[boobless]

Anyone know if there's a homebrew picture viewer for DS, something other than Moonshell?

[Ji@nBing]

DSOrganize has a picture viewer built in as well, and it's better than the Moonshell one. Give it a try.

What does ScummVM do exactly?

ScummVM is a software that runs classic LucasArts adventure games that are based on the SCUMM Engine.

a few of those include "Secret of Monkey Island", "Manic Mansion", "Day of the Tentacle", "Sam & Max: Hit the Road", "Full Throttle" (though this doesn't run on the DS) and lots more. if you wanna take a look:

PC: http://scummvm.org/

DS: http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/

games run pretty well on the DS, too :D now I can get my Monkey Island fix on the go :p

Star Fox Command is pretty addictive, too

[boobless]

Alright how do I run DSorganize? I have a SC Lite, when I run DSOrganize.sc.nds I get two black screens, if I run DSOrganize.nds I get two white screens.

Never mind I got it to work, had to patch it.

[tlogank]

Question for anyone...I am a couple days away from ordering my passme and flashcart devices, but I was wanting to know what effect they had on battery life, as in how much do you lose?

[tlogank]

Oh...one more thing...I am about to place my order tonight. I am not as concerned with homebrew as I am DS ROM support (for my backups)...which is the best all around?--->the Supercard Lite or the EZ Flash IV?

[hajj_3]

supercard lite is out in uk tommorrow :) think i will sell my supercard minisd and buy a lite instead.

From what I can tell, they're both very similar. I use the EZF4, and nearly all roms run, except for Ultimate Spiderman and a couple others. However, word is that the Supercard Lite gets better read speeds, so there aren't any pauses during high-load times in some games, like Animal Crossing. EZF4 has much much better GBA support though, so if want to play a fair number of GBA games, go with that. Otherwise, I think the SCL would be better, plus it looks nicer :)
