I have not tried it myself, but another user reported problems with the supercard patcher in this thread on gbatemp:

It's a Supercard Lite near-clone. The opening splash screen actually shows the Supercard Logo! The software is also almost Identical, although in Chinese by default. You can switch to english by clicking on the second tab and choosing english. I tried updating the firmware (1.63) to the latest official Supercard firmware (1.81) but it just gave me error messages. I tried both english and chinese firmware to no avail.

I also tried using the latest version of the Supercard software to write games to the MicroSD card and it seemed to work fine but the NDS games would not boot. GBA games work though.

Using the software that came with the unit (v 1.0) NDS and GBA games seem to load and run fine. There are no instructions in the box and the manufacturer's web site is bogus so don't expect any support or software updates. That's the downside to saving a few bucks. Luckily you can just follow the instructions on supercard's website because the operation of the unit is for all intents and purposes identical.

As far as compatibility goes, I've tried about 6 games each of NDS and GBA roms and all seemed to work with no issues. Obviously I will not be testing every game in existence but if I do find incompatibilities I will try to post them here.

I opened up the unit and the build quality of the circuit board seems to be pretty good overall.

Bottom line: I would have to recommend spending a few more bucks for an original name-brand cartridge. At least then you will be getting long-term support for the product.

Thats stupid, they make a clone and you don't even get to use the good (real SC's) firmware.
