1) Can SC run all nds roms m3 can? Does anybody have both and can confirm this?
2) Can SC play mp3s?  Support latest moonshell? Playlists?
3) Does the sd SC stick all the way in?
4) Is it true the sd SC has more problems than the cf SC?
5) Can SC run online games (wifi) just as m3 can?
6) DOes SC support all cf and sd cards?
7) Can superpass be used for flashme v5?
Does SC directly save to sd or cf card?
9) How many saves are possible on SC?  M3 supports 10 nds saves and 10 gba saves.

THANKS in advance for anyone who answers these questions.

oh...where is the cheapest place to buy the supercard?

1. SC currently has BETTER compatibility then the M3. The only game that cannot be gotten to work at all is Pokemon Dash. Tony Hawk is a pain to get working (you have to rip it) but most other games work well. Here is a compatibility list http://lemming77.dyndns.org/sc/

2. Yes SC can play MP3's. The latest moonshell has been hacked to work on it. I'm not sure if moonshell supports play lists, go check moonshell website for that.

3. a small portion sticks out about a centimeter in length.

4. That was the problem last version of the conversion software. I don't think it is now.

5. SC does. No clue on M3

6. No, but it supports most cards.

7. Err... all devices work fine with flashme v5

8. In DS mode, yes it saves directly to the SD or CF card.

9. SC supports as many saves as there are games on the card, either for GBA or DS. Just make sure the saver options are selected for whichever one you use.

Coming from someone that has both units, I think I can answer question 4 honestly. The CF version definitely runs certain things more smoothly. The opening sequence to Castlevania for example. The SD version chokes on this, but the CF version displays it smoothly (or smoother I should say). The game plays perfectly on both however.

I really love them both to tell you the truth. The SD version barely sticks out, but the CF version sticks out alot more...so the SD has one up there. The CF version is better in that you can leave the cart plugged into your DS at all times, and just easily insert and remove the CF card, so the CF has one in that respect. And as for all of the reports on the CF version being made cheaper than the SD version (material wise) that is utter bull. The SD version kind of "creaks" in the plastic (hard to explain, but all three of my SD SC's do this), while the CF version is as rock solid as a regular GBA cart.

The SD version has to be worked in and out of the DS a few times to get it to go in and out smoothly (first few times it is kind of tough getting it out) while the CF version went in and out just as smoothly as a regular GBA cart right out of the box.

I guess I can say that the CF version is my favorite, although the CF version sticking out so much (you have to be careful!) and the chance of CF pins bending in the future does make the SD version appealing.

Bottom line is just get what you want more. They are both great cards and will serve you well when it comes to playing DS games, and most GBA games. And finally, I use Moonshell to play MP3's with it all the time. Works a treat.

And question 6 & 7. The superpass will work to flash a DS with flashme (if that is what you meant) as long as it is an older firmware DS. For a newer firmware it will not work, and then you will need a passme2.

Saving is awesome with the Supercard DS wise. I never have to do a thing, it just saves the game you are playing the way it would with the original DS cart. You can copy these saves to your HD for storage if you run out of space on the card and want to play different games, only having to re-copy said save again back to the card when you are ready to return to the game you were playing. It is just smooth sailing when it comes to saves. I love it.

My girlfirend has the sd version and runs smoothly than my cf version. I think it depend more of the memory. She has a kignston, and mine is a "bulk".

Could be memory, but the CF I am using is a 256mb Kodak Lexar, and the SD I am using is a 256mb Kodak Lexar. Same size, same manufacturer, but the CF card definitely runs games faster.
