Just got a cool BLACK DS lite for myself after sharing the kids PHATS and lites for some time now lol :D

now I want to buy a slot one card for myself ......

Can you please post here your recommendations for your slot one card choice and reason why you like it  :)

.. what is it like for compatibility for homebrew and rom dumps .. any other info that may swing my vote for that particular card  :)

thanks in advance  :)

myself ive got a supercard DS v1 & im very happy with it & with the hints of the new firmware coming soon
http://scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9792&highlight= im still happy

but i have just ordered my little sister a M3 DS simply solely because it auto sets the save size for you
so no messing about trying to find out what size it is like you have to do with the supercard
plus bamboogaming are doing free shipping at the moment on them so it was only £17

ive bought 3 times (supercard sd rumble, scdsone & ez-flash IV lite deluxe) from bamboogaming & every time it has been 10 days i ordered my M3 on the 23rd it was shipped on the 24th

umm no love for the R4? damn dunno why I ordered it instead of a sc ds v2...
SC CF + 1GB Kingston CF + flashed NDS = a whole lot of fun.

right now R4/M3 simply reign supreme unless you only want to play backups and don't mind slow loading times for putting games on then get a ds-linker or something like that.

I have to agree that the R4 is the ultimate solution at this point.  It can do anything the Supercard can do, but easier.  :)

I Agree.. R4 is much simplier.. is better if you just want play games and play well...

SuperCard is more Hardcore =]

R4. It's easy to use, you don't have to set MicroSD card speeds or set the saver size.

R4 is the best slot1 out now.
Current setup:
Onyx DSlite/R4DS/SCminiSD
2gig Transcend card for the SCminiSD
2gig Kingston for the R4DS
4 gigglingbytes of games/apps! WOOT!

Hi

Not to insult anyone, but how many threads like this have been made by now? Why don't people look at some of the old threads?

I'm with the SCDSONE.

Normally I agree with that but as ever-changing as the flash cart market is, the answer to that question is changing a lot.

I have an EZ5 3-in-1. Near 100% NDS compatibility and possibly 100% GBA compatibility, rumble and opera support. It has the ability to compensate for slow SD cards, which is a feature I don't think the others have. It's nice overall but having to set the save size is very very annoying.

Not having an R4 I can't compare but I do hear it has save size detection and can support the 3-in-1 cart now.

The answer is probably that either would suit you fine. A Supercard DS probably would too.

thanks for the input guys  :)


@Perseid with you on the changing hardware its the same with ALL HARDWARE  :(

whats out today is already outdated next week  :(

at the minute im torn between R4 and  M3 I know that R4 is pretty much identical hardware to the M3 but a kinda cut down version .. but are their any major differences between the two ?!

EZ5 looks good but I already gave good compatibility already with GBA I have an ezflash 3 gba cart  :)


speaking of which .......... has anyone tried to use any kinda GBA flash cart as a RAM pack !?

Only the interface. NOTHING else. Go with the R4, it's cheaper.

We should have a whole section of this fourm just about what the best slot-1 card is.

UPDATE  ... I ordered the R4 :)

Thanks for the input guys  :)

Any additional info regarding the R4 would be great ... such as how to update etc is it as easy as the SUPERCARD series !?

tried getting on the official R4 website and its hit and miss with it, seems like the servers over loaded or something all the time  :(
