N-CARD is another new slot 1 card. It uses internal storage. A MicroSD version is in development.
Approximately US$25 for 128MByte, $40 for 512MB, $50 for 1GB.
On sale 8 December.

2nd generation device (works on unflashed DS).
High compatibly. Out of 55 games tested, only Pinky Street Kira Kira Music Hour doesn't work. Akumajou Dracula, Tony Hawk, Opera (and hacked Opera) etc all work.
Clean rom, drag and drop.

Touch screen interface.


Uses a USB-to-slot 2 cable to connect to computer (like the USB-to-link port cable for some GBA flashcarts).


Disadvantages
Virtually no homebrew support. Manufacturer is working on it.
No built in NoPass. Can be fixed using 3rd party software.
Need to set save type for new games not in the manufacturer's list of games.
Cannot run GBA games. (Like all slot 1 cards)
Single cart download play does not work for some games. (Like almost every other card)

This actually sounds really good, I wish it supported download play though...
It's nearly perfect.

EDIT: Oh, it needs a special file format...  :(

I cant read the Information Page nor can I translate it
Could you post the Info in English Please?

PS:Are the developers of this card the guys that made the NDSGBA 1:1, UltraCard, and Ninjapass, because if they are I will be soo disappointed.

sinkhead

Yes, they are the same developers.
Also, I gave the wrong link for the info page I made, you can find it here.

So don't buy it unless you want trouble. There are easier and better products.

felix

Opera hack works. M3 and SC. Yes they are the same company that made 1:1, but this sounds much better. Wait until the product is out before passing judgment.

sinkhead, why do you say it requires a special format? The USB thing is a data cable, not a charger. You only need to manually set save types for new games.

The MicroSD card needs to be formatted in a special format and it defiantly does need charging. I have been doing some research.

Please take a look at this Google-translated information from this page:
Quote
QUOTE :
Single card mode or SRAM capacitance is to maintain the power supply. Within 15 days of the need for recharging. Cooperation will be back in NAND memory card mode inside, but a single card and still play the game. 15-day period. Other memory of the game was never lost.


Also, get the latest version of the software, a significant improvement :

1, and direct support to amend the tapes were filed type game. (Currently only improvement and can be changed, however, it is necessary to re-writers, and more)
2, in support of direct delete the ROM cards, must be formatted tapes of the game without replacement.
3, the tapes support any additional ROM can be distributed storage. For example, the deletion of a 45M Wumocheng, Wumocheng behind in the other game, Route 64M aid to be re-burned into a group, then it should at least be divided into two support groups for storage. But there were no games, the game is easy to delete and add that there is no limit but effective way to avoid the waste of space.
And, further down

3, the card is really support CLEAN ROM? Why only software included, which can not be directly copying Windows?
We support the CLEAN ROM cards, we do not need any patch. CLEAN ROM is not a patch on winning all the games do not need the support of the software. as long as a game, not to do any upgrade or patch can direct the game.
We embedded NAND not what format the tapes, If I may say so, NINTENDO is the format, because we are in single card mode original format. Windows can be identified because they are not the FAT format, it is not directly under the Windows operating again. Through our software.

Also, I'll update my info page to say that you only need to set the save type for new games. What do you mean by new games though? Games that have just been released, or games that you have never played before?

Devil_Spawn

i will wait for a review first, but it looks handy for those one or two games that dont work on the supercard

Hi

To be honest, I wish my choices stoped opening.

I'm defenetly giving my sccf to my sister (who has a gba) because I never use my sccf to play gba games, only nds games, and buying myself either a cheap slot1 or m3pro or scrumble.

But with all the new slot1's comming out, ugg, what am I going to buy!!! (with my low budget.) Please company's, STOP RELESING NEW CARDS AND LET ME CHOOSE WHAT I WANT BEFORE MESSING UP MY CHOICE BY ADDING A NEW CARD THAT LOOKS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QuoteWhat the Developer Offers

Features:

- It works on all NDS / NDS Lite (without any Passme device/flashed firmware)
- Accepts NDS CLEAN ROM (Multi-Games Support)
- Same size as the NDS cartridge - (will not stick out from the NDS / NDS Lite)
- 512Mbits Internal Memory
- Plug-and-play easy to use
- Can use as a Passme Card

Doesn't it sound such a perfect product?

Here is the conclusion:

QuoteOverall

I have to say this is probably one of the worst cards out on the market. It’s has some cool factors which got me to buy it, but it just has way too many problems right now to do much good. The size is also a problem, I can barley fit anything on there. The developer said he was going to make larger version but he also said he had no planned date for its release. So in the end I strongly suggest you do not waste any money on this card.

Score:
2/10

I've read such a many bad reports from that manufacturer that it still pisses me off to watch us, the consumers, being cheated by some Chinese people who didn't intend to give us any support in the first place.

No built in NoPass. Burning a NoPass rom to it works though


whats that mean?

sinkhead

You can find a ROM that you can run on the device to make it act like a NoPass
