Where'd Boba Fett go??

from bitblt, from hopebuy

....It support built-in moonshell system, can run MP3, Ogg, DPG2 movie, capatible with DPG0/DPG1.....

I wonder if this is upgradable, or if it is like the pocketnes on the SC's now. which is not upgradable unless they do it. I wonder if it will run the moonshell that is not built in?

I'm not sure if the media player is built in like pocketnes.  Pocketnes was upgradeable with a firmware update. I'm pretty sure it will work fine with Moonshell because Romman said homebrew support will be the same.

I think this might be a slightly more important bit of language in those specs from Hopebuy:

It support clear rom at standard mode, and support additional functions at super mode, additional functions include RESET, cheat code, save to flash memory card directly.

so, if youre running a clean rom in 'standard mode,' the SC-DS will not save directly to the microSD card? as Scooby-Doo would say, ruh-roh.  

hopefully that's not as big a deal as it seems to me. I'd probably be patching them to 'Super Mode' anyway, cuz I really like having soft reset to the SC menu.


edit: hmmmm, this is interesting too:

TWO mode design
Standard mode: 100% Capability when copy clear roms into MicroSD for playing directly
Super mode: support RESET, cheat code, save to flash memory card directly.
support FAT/FAT32 up to 32Gbits flash memory card. Flash memory card can be used on other digital products, save money.

i don't know if the "support FAT/FAT32 and etc." part in that quote applies to the card generally, or only to "Super Mode".... also, it seems kinda unclear to me whether you can have "Standard Mode" and "Super Mode" files on the same microSD card, or if you have to choose which mode all your games will run in. It's probably a non-issue once we have these in-hand, but the language in those specs is ambiguous and incomplete. Oh well, what else is new.

Of course it will save without patching. The card will have built in EEPROM just like DSLink and DS-X.  The problem is waiting for the EEPROM to be written to the microSD after the next power cycle. I think the Super mode save option will patch the ROM to bypass EEPROM and write directly to microSD.

I didn't say I thought it wouldn't be able to save at all. But I didn't really think out what that would mean. So youre saying its just a matter of some few extra seconds every time you reboot the DS to wait for the save to write. OK, got it. As long as there's no battery needed, I don't care about that.

The SCDS looks really sweet. I hope a review comes out asap.

Is hopeBuy a realiable place to buy from??

[SynGamer]

Now, with this slot 1 SuperCard replace my slot 2 SuperCard SD?  Or will i still need the SuperCard SD?  Because i was planning on purchasing the SuperKey, but if i can somehow use my SD card in the new slot 1 SuperCard, then i'll just pick that up.

[Hi]

You can use your supercard sd as a replacement for the nds opra web browser ram expansion pak. In other words, with the supercard sd you can use the opra web browser. With out it, you cannot use the opra web browser. (unless you own the actual pak... I won't get into that.) But can you use an sd card with the supercard ds? No, the supercard ds uses micro sd cards, not standered sd cards.

I purchased my DSLink from HopeBuy with no problems, other than shipping time which wasn't their fault. If you live in the US you might want to wait for RealHotStuff to start taking orders.

The slot 1 Supercard DS is stand alone and has a built in SuperKey.  The new slot1 card takes microSD.  You should be able to use slot1 and slot2 Supercards together if you want.

Does the SC Lite have any RAM inside?

Does the SC Lite have any RAM inside?

No, not the kind of RAM used by DSLinux and Opera (none of the slot 1 cards do).  If you already have a slot 2 Supercard (not rumble) you might want to keep it for use as a RAM pack, for GBA, or use both slot 1 and slot 2 card together.
