Quote from: "onekelly"thanks iignotus, missed that totally. :oops:

No problem, mate

Quote from: "Hi"By the way, where can I preorder this thing?

I would think sending an email Re:SCDS preorder to the man himself would suffice

Quote from: "Hi"It's true that the supercard slot-1 will be more expensive, but for once it sounds like it will actually dominate the marcket without a lower price. See, it's got more features than the M3's slot 1, and as many features as the dslink. The ds-x is $150, so the supercard still beats that. Plus, the dslink requires a flashed Ds. Not to mention homebrew support...

It may have more features than the "basic" M3 slot 1, but not the deluxe one. GBA ROM support from a slot 1 device sounds pretty good to me. M3 will be the only one able to do that. THAT will make the M3 slot 1 the leader.

Nope. It's not going to happen. It's physically impossible to run GBA code using a slot 1 device, without using additional slot 2 hardware. None of the slot 1 devices (DSLink, DS-X, AceCard, etc.) are going to support GBA.

The only way for a slot 1 device to run GBA code is if someone writes a GBA emulator for DS.

Now it is possible to use additional hardware that sits in slot2 and interfaces with the slot1 card to run GBA games. (The DSLink team already offers something like this). Hopefully the new slot 1 Supercard will support this type of slot 2 inter-play.

Maybe the SuperCard workers are being given a wage rise

Supercard DS sounds very promising.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "extended skin which is fully upgradeable". There's been plenty of topics on how bad the skin + interface looks and works. This could mean an upgrade in the firmware for all the supercards. I was rolling along with the idea of Supercard's slot 1 solution until I heard the price (only because that M3 has been announced). The only good I can see coming out of this as of now is a nice new interface for my SCLite, haha.

Not going to happen. If it was going to happen, it would have already. There just isn't enough room in the original super card's tiny firmware for customization.

Lets hope the RAM speed is up to scratch this time !, how do these things save though !

I guess the best thing about the Supercard DS is the customizable interface. I wonder if the interface would have icons and stuff? Or more importantly, touch screen support... :roll:

Devil_Spawn · December 13, 2006, 02:02:34 PM

maan touch screen support would suck asses. however making your own gui sounds cool! especially if its like, programme it and everything, customiseable everything and anything would b cool

onekelly · December 13, 2006, 02:14:18 PM

To me the best part would be the drag and drop feature with clean roms. no more patching would be great! The skins part is interesting, but i never sit and look at the menus for more than 5-8 seconds. Just pick a game a play.

bamboogaming says they will have the supercard DS in 2 days
i think ill just get one now i trust the supercard team that much
