What are the main benifits of the Mini SD SuperCard over the standard SuperCard SD. Apart from size that is.

Do the SP/Advance games work any better?
Does Saving the games work properly Now?

Besides size, it has a battery for the SRAM. This means, if you're using a 2-series passthrough device, you don't have to write the SRAM every time you want to boot it in DS mode.

Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

Are the gameboy SP saves transparant now? (No Four Keypress, Messing About?)


Thanks

No. The battery is the only real difference. Otherwise, it operates exactly a Supercard SD.

WTF, are you sure about that? I thought that was the point of the battery. Does it dump the SRAM to the .sav file upon next boot?

If it had any features above and beyond the Supercard SD, it would have its own different firmware. (Protip: It doesn't.)

If you're using the Supercard for GBA gaming, the battery will retain the save, but it won't automatically write it to the SD card. You still have to do it yourself.
