had mine for 4 days now and i'm very impressed, all games working at full speed that i tried so far with my 1gig sandisc, came with passme2 and already flashed 1 old and 1 new NDS, price for SD+Passme 2 and 1 gig sandisc was £90 and now have access to every single DS game out and comming out, so for me was well worth every penny, infact i'm saving up for another to go with the other DS (currently using Flash II cart in that one for NDS)

Very satisfied with the Supercard, which is why I bought 3 others for family members (2 SD, 2 CF altogether).  Very satisfied with DS rom support, and pretty satisfied with GBA.  Minor irks being button-combination saving on GBA roms, and compatibility issues with a few roms I wanted to play (DK-KoS, MK).

Great product. I had a XG2Pro 256M for the GBA that was not very stable and now use Supercard SD for both the GBA and DS. Considering buying another one.

Yeah, but I do play GBA games more than I play DS games, and it would be much nicer if they didn't have slowdown :(

Overall, though, it's a great device for the price. I just think I would prefer an M3 for gba stuff, even if the M3 guys are assholes.

I'm extremely satisfied with my super duper SuperCard SD.  The device supports more DS games than any other alternative.  I have no problems running Kirby or Heretic, like some people have mentioned.  I have a 2GB SD 150X and every game I've tested (all US) work.  Also, the fact that Romman has 512Mb games working with a 256Mb card is just plain voodoo.  More important is that homebrew games and apps (ie. Moonshell) will be able to utilize SD memory for random file access.  I expect great things in the near future like VNC client, IRC client, web browser, Linux, and Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games.

I would have paid twice as much for my SuperCard, but I'm glad I didn't have to.

Personally I'm very satisfied at £85 for the SC SD and a 2 gig SD card at 150x I can't complain as I have access to 30 games at once for the same price I'd pay for 3 DS games retail.
Sure a few games are less than perfect but that I can live with I mean afterall with the money I save with this I can afford to buy those games retail. ;)

bought 2 SC SD's for my Sons' for Xmas....certainly a shrewd investment!!Cory very kindly took me through the steps to flash\save\etc, and i rigged it all up so as to give a "finished"product on Xmas day.....the first time i switched it on and saw MK on the screens, with its vibrant colours etc i realised how amazing a product it actually was....
With the DS,SC and superpass  X2 it cost a fair bit, but M8, the fun they have had...!!

Having said all the above, i have been rather surprised by Rommans amateurish approach to updates....
Surely releasing software before checking it is a bit, well, you know....stupid??
Also making claims re. the updates which turn out to be untrue...I must say, i have raised my brow a few times re. the updates...and their cockups...but, in fairness, it really is a great product...
I, for one though, am not on my knees....

Wasn't sure about investing in a flash cart to start with, but the SC was so cheap I thought I would try it out.

After playing several GBA games with it I DID find the special key combo save systems a bit anoying but all but one game worked flawlessly so I purchased a SuperPass2 and Flashed my DS and I am glad I did.

There must be better carts out there for GBA but for NDS the SC has been flawless. I am VERY happy with it, it worth every penny.

I HAD to get another card in order to play GBA games because my old F2A died(actually the SRAM did it). I know that there are better alternatives if you just wanna play GBA, but I tought that being able to play both GBA and NDS from a single card it's a big plus.
Also I don't like to use linkers to write on flashcarts, I do much prefer using an USB SD card reader/writer, which is much faster and allows me to do everything with windows.

Now I had very low expectations really, I can say I was skeptic, but from the moment I got the Supercard,just by looking at the box and it's content, I was very much relieved.
I was worried about patching games, and saving issues, but once I kept going, everything felt easy.
NDS compatibility is just great, there were a great deal of roms that I couldn't get to work anywhere else that now work at full speed from the SD card !! I really didn't expect that, honestly.
GBA games, they take a little longer to boot(which is something that I don't really understand, because NDS roms are usually larger but boot in 1 second),but nearly all of them (the ones I really want to play) work for me.
And there are still chances of improvements from future firmware and software updates.
What can I honestly tell ?
Extremely satisfied !!:)
I think I am gonna get another one for my younger brother too !

To reiterate how satisfied I am with the Supercard, I now own six (yes six!) of them. I have three NDS consoles, and a SC in all three. Great for parties and multiplayer fun. I have the other three as backups. I have so much fun with the console because of the Supercard, and I always want to be able to enjoy it. I play many titles that I loved from my childhood (mostly on SMSAdvance) and the future looks awesome for the DS, and I'll certainly be there the entire ride. I wholeheartedly recommend the Supercard for anyone who loves the DS, and loves games. It really is an incredible device, and for the price you really can't go wrong.

Hell yha iam satisfied you know why i some games wont be released here or yes thay well but not at the stores i live from.
i Wanted world Championship Poker SO! bad i did everything for it so i looked on the web and found the m3 hell yha that sucks 86 bucks or might be more and i didnt had a cf :S and it wasnt out. so i turned on back and saw somekind of weird purple card well he check it out supercard released and is about to spin ds games on it and firmeware upgrades hell yha BUY! 45 bucks and a 512 mb card and update and i still have trust in romman and his team thay doi'n a good job for us and we doi'n hem something back buying his product well i think iam going to buy the sd supercard as well.

the only thing iam scared of is that romman is going to release a new supercard.

more then that iam SO much satisfied with my supercard

i would say a MUST HAVE for your ds and gba well gba some things do not run on perfect speel but the games i want to play for gba works and thats what its all about. iam not into games that do not work correct on the supercard and if i like a game that wont work on the suter card like tony hawk ds i buy it . i bougt tony :P

I'm 100% satisfied. I almost believed the crap talked about the M3 "perfect", which frankly is an overpriced waste of money. I got the deal of the century actually!

(silver nds, 2gb cf, datel battery extender, carry case, supercard, superpass and castlevania dawn of sorrow in perfect condition for £150. I sold castlevania for £30, so I basically got my entire ds outfit for £120. The guy who listed it on ebay buy it now for $250 is an idiot frankly.)

I'd never have thought I'd have been so pleased with the supercard. I heard so many offputting things about it, and the firmware fixes seem to have resolved these issues. Also, because I have the datel batter extender (its only ten bucks guys. buy one. doesn't make your ds bulky or uncomfy) I get usually around 14 hours playtime.

My next ds purchase is an entire new shell to turn my silver ds into a black one, and a new case. I think the only games I'll ever need for it in future will be copies of pokemon leaf green and emerald.

Romman is a genius. If you're here and are interested in buying a supercard, just go on ebay now and pay for one straight away. I prefer the CF version. I find it looks alot better. Cheaper for CF cards too, and there is no speed difference between it and SD, which my friend bought.

Beside that, the M3 isn't even compatible with Flashme! It is, according to the official website however, compatible with something called "FLAHSME".  :lol:

Just playing. Honestly, I don't like knocking other cards, unless they are REALLY crap. The M3 is actually a good device, and has one up on the SC with GBA playback and not having to patch GBA games as well. The SC has up on it in terms of price and I prefer the save system and software. They both have the good and the bad, but both are great products.

I just got my CF Supercard and I'm 100% happy with it. Originally I had planned on getting an M3, but it seemed a bit pricey and everything I've read on these forums swayed me toward the SC. I haven't had any problems with any games I've tried so far and hopefully I never will.
