I have a 4gig microdrive and was wondering if it would work with SuperCard CF. Thanks.

don't know... but i suppose that the microdrive requires a huge amount of energy... say bye bye to nds' battery

No it wouldn't.

Microdrives require an amount of voltage that the GBA slot in a DS (or even a GBA) isn't willing to give.

Also, I think because the CFs need to be done in FAT, not FAT32, there's a limit of 2gigs in what you can use.

You need cards that advertize that they're Type 1. Microdrives are type 2, or beyond CFs.

Fat is limited to 4 GIG not 2 GIG.

And as for the GBA/DS not being able to supply power to it... go check out the GBAMP... lots of people use  micro drives with it.

Just like the GBAMP you'd probably have modify the casing a bit since microdrives are bigger.

And yes, battery life will be even worse on the supercard with a microdrive... moving parts always eat more power.
