Sorry for a noob question, but I couln't find anything in the forums, anyone have any idea if its possible and if so if you can use a supercard on one and official games on the other and vice versa. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Unless it's Download Play. It has its limitations if so.
You should search harder, there are a couple threads, at least, asking about ROMs and originals at the same time.

alright, thanks for the quick reply, I'm still looking, So download play is the only thing you can do or can you do multi pack play too?

No, no, I meant that you can "link" (although you don't really link them, but you get the idea) normally between a ROM and a real cart, unless it's download play, which has some issues with this function. It has to do with the sending DS being flashed or not affects how the ROM is downloaded to the other DS. Don't ask me much about it, I never tried it, but I know it has some dark points. You're better off waiting for someone that fills you in better than me in this topic.
But, in the overall, yes, you can perfectly play multi-cart games ("linking") between ROMs and original carts, AFAIK.

ok, I'll test it out and see what I can do thanks for the help, and if anyone else knows anything about this I would sure appreciate it

Ummm basically depends what cart you have.

You have a Supercard, so it works like this, unless you have a Supercard DS One, which I'm not sure, but I think follows the same rules:

1.  DS and DSLite don't make a difference, it is the same thing.
2.  If you play multiplayer with a fake game (Supercard) and a real game, it works.
3.  If you play multiplayer with a fake game (Supercard) and another fake game (Supercard), it works.
4.  If you have a Supercard, and you only have one copy of the game, you send it to a normal DS (not flashed, not passme, no Supercard), then most games will not work.  Some do, depends on how they encrypt the game.
5.  If you have a Supercard, and you only have one copy of the game, you send it to a flashme'd DS, or a DS with passme, then it works.

Basically that is it.
