I am looking for something to replace my Supercard SD. I have a ds lite. I luv my supercard SD on compatabltiy just wanted it to be smaller. My budget is 30 dollars

TBH, if you change card styles SClite or SCDS1, both require a microSD card, and you currently have a SD card. Getting the SCDS1 and R4 are currently priced at $42 not including the 5% discount you get. And the sclite is $45 not including 5% discount. Then you are looking at a microSD ranging from 20-40 dollars depending on brand and size. Remember you can often times save money by purchasing the card and microSD as a bundle.

OR you may have to look at used.

The cheapest i am finding right now is this:

http://sky2k.com/shop/ewin-microsd-lite-english-colors-p-107.html

it is 3.99 + 8.99 shipping. Only $12.98 is not bad of a deal. I could easily sell that at school for $50

All depends where In the world you are?

you can get a TOP TOY DS from deal extreme pretty cheaply :)

remember you also need a passme/superkey device or at least flash the ds that its to be used in too so this also adds to the price  :)

Remember when purchasing a card on the ultra cheap and the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. And what i mean by that, is this, you may be purchasing a clone, or other, and on top of it if you have an issue with it your customer service will most likely be non existent.

I just don't want you to get ripped off and have to turn around and buy another card from someone else.

Having customer service if you have an issue is really worth paying a little more (or the normal price of the unit).

This also depends on what you're looking for. Do you care about GBA compatibility, or not? Do you care about which slot it goes in?

But considering your budget, it sounds like it's gonna be slot-2 with no GBA support for you. If that's so, then it's already been mentioned that you would also require a passcard or flash your DS, and finally a TF card to actually put in the flashcard. I can only really help you with the very first problem of finding something: I have a post up in the marketplace where I'm selling my old Supercard Lite Rumble. If you'd like, you can contact me on it.

the product i linked to is not fake. I trust sky2k and they have great custermer support. I mailed them and they had their word. Sky2k is a very popular vender. Also it is cheap because the ewin2 lite series is on clearance. They are trying get rid of them all.

the issue is not price, I can believe it since people don't use slot 2's much anymore but you have to buy a passkey with that.  Also you don't know if you are getting support, especially since if those are on clearence they probably don't get updates, and as slot 2's they have to to play new games.  If you really want to fool around with it and don't care about new games then it should be fine even though it ends up being around 40 bucks anyway because you have to buy the ewin with a microsd, as well as a passkey which is atleast 15$ you might as well get a dstt from dealextreme if they have it in stock.

I forgot to tell you. I have a Max media launcher and supercard Sd. I already have micro sd's. I just need something that will fit in my ds lite slot with out sticking just so i can play a few games (ex: mario games) and have moonshell on it with out anything to stick out. I still going to use my supercard sd for newer games that dont work on the ewin 2.

Also my budget at the moment is 15 dollars. I just bought myself a new Ipod classic 160gb, At&t tilt phone, and a ps3. 15 dollars is all i got left. I DONT WANT TO WAIT TILL I HAVE MORE MONEY.

PS: I ordered the ewin2 last monday. I choose standard shipping and i live in Reston, Virginina USA. How long do you suppose it will take to get here. their site says 6 to 16 days. Do Sundays count?? and How accurate is 6 to 16 days for sky2k??

for $15 you should really add a little to it and go for the DSTT (TOP TOY DS) its a bargain card that can use MOONSHELL and play just about all but 1 or 2 roms out there currently :)
