these are the questions i have before i buy supercard

1)Can you run nds games straight from the CF card or do you have to do the switch on and off thing

2)Is moonshell an extra bootable app...what i mean is will it disable any of supercards abilities

3)Do you have to program you passme2 everytime you wanna put a different game on? and what do you do to get homebrew on it? (any special processes?)

4)And can I use passme 2-z with this?

-thanks for putting up with me!  :D

No tricks, just select a game in supercard menu and run.  Normal in-game save works too.  Beforehand you will need to patch "clean dump" roms with the supercard software.  You will also want to upgrade your DS firmware with FlashMe.

No, homebrew (including moonshell) will run from the supercard menu.  You will need to reset your DS to get back to the supercard menu after running homebrew.  Some homebrew (currently) will have issues with directly accessing the SD version.  Moonshell works fine.

No, you only need to program passme2 once (if at all). Check your DS firmware version.

For homebrew you will need to rename [game name].ds.gba files to [game name].ds.nds

It should work fine.

bitblt's answer is correct!
and if you do not want to program your NDS and passme2, you can choose passme2-z
