And I wait for my mail-ordered porsche that I paid via paypal.
And if you find anything that can do as much or better than SuperCard for as much or less price I'll say that line.

Having not investigated the M3 (if someone would like me to, then feel free to order me one *grin*) I can't tell you whether it 'sux' any less. It's quite possible that it just 'sux' in different ways ;)

The SC's RAM speed issue is a hardware design flaw (a cost-saving measure, undoubtedly). However, it won't affect anything running in DS mode (as DS assetloading doesn't work the same way), only GBA games. If you want to be able to play the specific GBA games that run too slowly on the Supercard, even with patching disabled, then you'll have to get something else, but other than that, it works pretty decently. If romman (or someone else) fixes the patching code to save directly to CF/SD then there'll be no slowdown other than that caused by RAM speed, which has only been confirmed as being a noticable problem on a few games.

ok , ill wait , if it isnt the fake of the year ...
