100% flashcard?

Sorry if this has been asked before. And with all the recent releases the answer may have changed anyway.

Is there any solution that plays all GBA and all NDS games 100% with no slowdowns? I have a Supercard SD which is nice but, of course, there are a couple DS games that don't work and a few GBA games that are kinda wonky. My limited research points to the M3 but the price is insane and it still doesn't look like it's 100%. So should I just stick with my SCSD? And if there isn't one now is there one in the works?

Supercard series has the almost exact same speed and compatibility as M3 with NDS games. Switching over would benefit you nothing. M3 has much better GBA speed and compatibility, almost all GBA games run fullspeed on the M3. I personally have no problems with the Supercard series, and I love GBA games. Almost all the GBA games I want to play run fullspeed on my SCLite, and the price is much, much more reasonable.

It depends on what's important to you, and it's that simple.

M3 and SuperCard's got the ownage at NDS files, EZFlash has GBA. But M3 is about the same as EZFlash. I don't have an M3, but it seems to be the perfect flash cart (hence the name "M3 Perfect"). If they would lower their price, SuperCard would go out of business.

I would say, go for the EZ Flash 4 Lite Deluxe.  It has pretty good NDS, perfect GBA, pretty good Homebrew, and best of all, with every patch, their NDS support seems to take a huge leap forward.  It is true that the EZ Flash 4 isn't as fast as the Supercard Lite, but it is still pretty good.

Well, I have an M3 Perfect and a Supercard, and I can tell you that at this point in time the SC has much better NDS support. There were a few games that did not work with the default patch settings on the M3 (Starfox, FFIII, and some others) that worked right off the bat with the latest SC patching software. Maybe you CAN get these game sto work on the M3 if you adjust settings from 1x to 4x dma...etc etc. Point is, I don't like to patch to find that a game does not work and then have to re-patch and test again. I patch once with the SC software, and it works....nuff said there. The M3 DOES have awesome GBA compatibility tho, with no slowdown and ran every rom I have thrown at it. I keep and use them both for each has a plus and a minus.

Hi

What about the Acekard?

At the Acekard's launch they claimed that the Acekard would have true 100% capibility, an enormous claim. And so far... they've lived up to their claim. It has true 100% capibility.

Hi

Well, using the same the mk4 thing (ask for a link if you don't know you don't know what the mk4 thing is, I THINK most people know and am to lasy right now.) and using a nopass rom the two cards could work together to create a 100% flashcard, just what Perseid wants.

I'm not saying the Acekard doesn't have it's own problems, but it's got 100% capibility with nds roms.

Gba flash carts have 100% capibility with gba roms.(I reccomend the magic flash 512 mb because it works well, can hold a lot of games, and is cheap.)

So, if you use the Acekard and a gba flash card, you get a 100% flash card. So yes, Perseid, it does exsist and this is what it is.

I've got a G6 Lite and I've yet to see any compatibility problems or slowdown issues.  Problematic GBA games such as Yoshi's Island run at full speed on the G6 Lite.

i second that!  i have run certain roms (like ffV) side by side on g6lite and ezflash III, and they did run slightly faster on ezflashIII, but basically, g6Lite runs at pretty much full speed.  It's my favorite all-around cart.
