What I'd like to see in future updates is the supercard organize the files by name >_<
Just use FatSort.

i'd just like an autoboot... or a way to edit the colors of the normal menu... having a pink ds and a blue menu is :(

Electric Blue DS "phat" + supercard minisd + 1gb kingston
Coral Pink DSLite + supercard microsd + 1gb a-data

as for me, I gave my girlfriend my ezflash Iv lite, and got a supercard for myself.  Personally, I felt that the L and R buttons should be used for tabs, and not for scrolling, that way you just use your thumb to navigate the rom menu as quick as possible.

just my two cents indeed.

edit:
oh yah, i forgot to mention, that in turn for L and R being tabs, the left and right directions should by the page up/down buttons

I think if they change the font used to a sans serif one it would look much better. And remove the numbers next to the file names.

all these suggestions are nice, but they would have to be optional, to please everyone :P i dont like some ideas yet i like others, wonder if rommand will do anything not scrumble is on its way

Here's an idea... mint flavored ginger snaps.

As for the SC menu, I think it should atleast support more symbols. I also hate the numbers next to the names and the fact that it's not arranged alphabetically. I will send Romman an email if I get time.
 like cream soda...

What if the Supercard was flashed with a bootloader to load from the SD card?

I'd like SuperCard to have the option of making coffee. Oh, and a kitchen sink.
he Internet is a series of tubes. :D

It would be a good idea to make a gui app that allows you to import/extract and import images into the firmware .bin file, and then output the final file .... like dslazy. So there will be a minimum amount of mistake and so less chance of bricking the firmware.

Has anyone else noticed that the top screen in the Supercard menu uses a resolution wider than GBA, but not as tall as fullscreen (DS)? Seems odd, just wondering if anyone knew why thats used.

1)I could not care less about the appearance of the menu. The only feature that would be useful is to be able to adjust brightness settings.

2)Time would be better spent on converting the filesystem to fat32, if possible.

3)On the SCUMMVM DS site it is stated:
QuoteThere are various versions of the Supercard and M3 Adaptor, but these can be unreliable at times, because the drivers used in ScummVM DS have been reverse engineered from the device itself. This is because the Supercard and M3 companies won't work with homebrew developers to get their hardware running well. Due to this, I can't recommend buying their cards.
Clearly, time would also be better spent making a little more info available to homebrewers.  Supercard, with its extra 32MB RAM, should be the choice of homebrewers, as it is for DSLinux.

4)Finally, I am sure that the majority of development time is spent making sure the supercard can run all commercial roms.  Let's face it, the majority of flash cart users are using their cart to run illegal warez and this market must be satisfied. If you want a fancy skinned menu, then stop using warez and encourage others to do the same.
