Hey,
I've been playing the supercard and love the damn thing...but I can't get 2 player games going using 2 game boys and an original copy of the games. I tried with with sf alpha 3 and double dragon and neither can detect the other player. Anyone had the same problem or tried the same thing?

only some games have a multi-boot function (playing multiplayer with one cartridge). to play multiplayer in other games such as street fighter, the other person needs the game also. some games i recommend single cart multiplayer are: Mario Kart, Puyo Pop (awesome puzzle game with 4 people) and  Bomberman Tournament.

heres the biggest list i could find of multiboot games (slightly outdated but still a big list):http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/358/358050p1.html

or maybe you do know all that junk and just cant get it working multicart multiplayer =/. well in that case im no help

thanks for the suggestion...I was aware of that and I had 2 copies of street fighter alpha 3 and double dragon. one on my supercard and one being the original...when you select versus it tells you "wait for connection" and then it goes to the main screen after 5 seconds...no luck in playing them. I got to try the games with multiboot function tho...never thought of that.

I heard somewhere that you can't play multiplayer at all with the Supercard...  That's just what I heard though. Let us know how your multiboot test goes.

yea i thought there was multiplayer compatibility available with this card but i guess i was wrong. i only noticed this after i read the specifications of the supercard closely and nowhere does it mention anything about multiplayer. ive been thinking about a possible cause to the problem could be the speed of the games arent sync? or maybe the supercard already steals the memory needed by multiplayer games.
