Supercard rumble- Does it work as a rumble cart?

jeffreagin · October 29, 2006, 10:14:27 PM

If I put a supercard rumble in my ds and put an actual retail ds card in slot one that is rumble enabled such as Metriod Pinball, Would it work as a standalone rumble cart?

i believe omegatron was replying to this post when he posted this:

Quote from: "Omegatron"have you even read teh fact sheet for the supercard rumble...?

BTW no use for me to not answer and then have to check later to see ifyou still need help...They are making patches for games that support rumble...

Unfortunately, he posted it as a new topic which i locked. Either way, the reply is neither helpful, nor polite.

So where is this fact sheet? :?:

"They are making patches for games that support rumble..."

Sorry I am a little slow. Does this mean the answer to my question is no?

the fact sheet is somewhere on the supercard site. i think its on the software page, its a bunch of crap we've all seen before though. the answer to your question is no it doesn't work as a stand alone piece of hardware.

Wats the use of even having rumble if it doesn't even support rumble enabled games!! :shock:

i think people hit the nail on the head when they guessed that supercard team included rumble to make us feel better about losing the GBA support. heh..

anyway, there will be game-specific patching to enable rumble, when the game is played from the supercard. But no, as of now, it cannot act as a rumble pack with an original cart in slot 1. I'd be curious to see if supercard's future slot 1 device can access the rumble though...

That's kind of what I was thinking. I thought it would be kind of cool if my DS-X (when it gets here) could access the rumble. That way I could put new or problematic games on the limited 512mb of the DS-x and have 1 or 2 GB of games in my supercard lite rumble as well.

Oh well! Thanks for the answers!

I don't think that's the case at all. I think the SuperCard Rumble is a pretty clear money-saving solution designed to really make people's eyes pop when they compare its value to the SLOT-1 cards. $120 + shipping for the DS-Xtreme sounds pretty ridiculous when you can pick up a SuperCard Rumble for $34 + microSD + any-PassMe-solution.

The inclusion of "rumble" is most likely just to distinguish the product from past SuperCards. I like "rumble" better than "pro", because the word "pro" doesn't seem like a very accurate description of a product with GBA support lopped out.
