my friend said something about the ds one haveing a save state button combo, but he hasent been on in a while, can anyone tell me if its true and what the button combo is to save and load

No, Supercard DS One does not support save state for DS games yet, also known as real time save (RTS). It does support in-game suspend and resume (similar technology) used to access the cheat menu and guide system in real time while playing a game.  I've read that Cyclo also supports in-game suspend and resume.  I guess it's a race to see which of these two cards will support RTS first.

ok, what exactly is in-game suspend and resume?

What I mean is that you can suspend (freeze) a game by pressing a certain button combination, then access the cheat menu or use the game guide, then resume your game like nothing happened. Supercard DS One supports multi-tasking while running DS games. That feature would seem like the first step to supporting realtime save.

According to a review by darkuni the Cyclo DS Evolution also supports in-game suspend and resume.
