SuperCard SD (RTC)? Other questions also

Does The Supercard SD support Real-Time Clock?

If I only want games for my GBA SP i dont need a Superpass right?

Is $50 a good price for the Supercard SD?

No RTC.

Superpass is for DS only.

Supercard works great for DS games, not so good for GBA games.

so if i want to use it for my GBA SP i shouldnt get a supercard? What would u recommend, i dont really feel like spending too much. and flash carts seem kinda hard to find for cheap.

Check out G-Bank for GBA, it takes up to 1GB SD, and it's cheap.

it seems a little too big for my taste, anything else? pretty much nothing that sticks out too much, i didnt like the m3's look and cost.

Supercard supports many games, check a game compatibility list.

ya im probably gonna get the Supercard, even tho i wanted to play some pokemon, oh well i can live.

Pokemon works and there is a patch for RTC but it doesnt keep time like the same as real world time, rather it creates like a counter and time progresses as you play the game rather than it being real world time. I think its alright, i was playing it a while back and it was still enjoyable

I'd have to disagree with the supercard not playing gba games well.

I've only had problems with games over 32mb everything else seems to play fine on my GBA SP.

I would definately recommend getting one.

What's important to see is that you can get another flashcard for thesame price that does GBA roms BETTER.
I'm not saying that the supercard sucks in GBA.
But you can get a better card for what you want to do, so why don't you?

for the GBA i would definatly recommend the X-rom 512, i bought one, and every game seems to work (with the exception of golden sun 1 and 2).

I just got my supercard yesterday, and of the GBA games i tested they seem to work pretty well.

its your choice what you want.

If you're only interested in playing GBA games i think you should get a real flashcart. (I had an EFA flashcart and it worked great for GBA games)
