I'm getting a Supercard SD soon, so I've been trying out the patching software and reading forum posts to get familiarized with the options.   Does anybody have experience with the "faster play game" setting?    I've heard that some (NDS) games have problems with it and others run better with it.  

Does anybody know what it does exactly and how it may influence performance in a NDS game?  If it is a superflous feature, I'll probably only use "Trim Rom".  But if some NDS games run slow without it, I will certainly use it.  Also, does "Enable Restart" in any way adversely affect performance in NDS games?  I realize it may be more of an issue with GBA games.  

Lastly, I've heard from a couple posts that compression on GBA games seems to be a bit spotty in that some games seem to have problems with it.  Any thoughts would be appreciated

i havent found a single problem when you DO use faster play, but there are quite a few when you dont, some games can take 30 seconds to a minute to boot to the menu, i recommend leaving it on

Enable restart is nice because L+R+A+B+X+Y boots you back to the supercard menu

Thanks for the response, will definitely leave "faster play game" for most/all games now.  Would you say that with restart enabled your NDS games have no trouble running full speed?  

For gba games I'm going to try bubble2K's "fast restart" patcher, which is supposed to cut down on restart's overhead for gba games.

IMO, beware of Restart enabled fighting games, it's not that hard to pull that off in some. I can't really understand why anyone would want Restart enabled on NDS roms, it's just switch off, switch on.

Mmmm, I had to reconvert Guilty Gears due to I was constantly reseting it.

The majority of games have no issues with fast play, trim, or restart.
