Well I will order from Real Hot Stuff a supercard in a few weeks, but I am not sure which one to get. Should I get the SuperCard DS When it comes in? Or a Lite Rumble? I do not want my budget to be passed about $50 including a passme.

All I really want to do on it is moonshell, homebrew such as Dsorganize and Ds linux (if compatible) and some other things.

I'd probably wait for the Supercard DS, it is a passme as well so it will be $50 approx.  The Supercard DS looks great, you can use it with a rumble pack, or the Opera Ram pack and so on.  BUT, you don't get GBA, which doesn't really matter to you.  And newer products usually are better than older ones.

SC lite Rumble is out of the question if you are getting a flashcart for homebrew. SC Rumble doesn't have the Sram(duno the detail) most homebrew uses. I think Moonshell and a few other homebrew apps works on it, and thats kinda it.

As of right now, no one knows how good Supercard DS will do in terms of homebrew compatibility. Base on the few posts made on Supercard DS, I think it will at least support Moonshell and DSOrganize.

In my opinion, in a few months most people will get a slot 1 solution and homebrew developers will focus more on creating homebrew apps that works on slot-1 carts. Most of the popular ones already works on DS-X anyways.

So what I am saying is, you should get the Supercard DS. It doesn't require you to flash your DS which means your warranty will be fine, and you don't have to get a passme card. Also Supercard DS have drag and drop. The patching software for slot-2 carts gets annoying after awhile. You have to figure out which setting to use for each game and etc. Also the SC DS is suppose to be faster than supercard lite. In the end SC DS is better than Supercard lite in every way other than the fact SC DS can't play GBA games, and that homebrew compatibility is still unknown.

PS. You may wana check out the M3 Simply slot-1 cart. It's pretty much the same thing as Supercard DS. I have always prefer the supercards over the M3 carts cause M3 carts takes a bit longer to load up, and supercard always have better homebrew support, but M3 carts have their good points as well.

Check out EZ Flash V too, it is looking pretty good too.
