Introduction
Welcome to the review of the SuperCard DS ONE and the M3 Simply.  I will be reviewing the flashcarts, showing you what are the good and bad points, and advising you to buy the flashcart that comes out better in the end.

Test No. 1: Build Quality

As you can see, the SuperCard DS ONE (Right), looks like it has much better build quality because it is barker and looks sturdier, but they are both equally sturdy.  The only thing I don't like about the M3 DS Simply is that is has a tiny screw at the back, while the SuperCard DS ONE doesn't.

The SuperCard DS ONE is the flashcart on the left this time

Test No.2: Size (In a Polar White Nintendo DS Lite)
The M3 DS Simply and SuperCard DS ONE both sit flush in the Nintendo DS Slot-1 (DS Game Slot).

You can't even see the M3 DS Simply!

Well, you can't see the SuperCard DS ONE either, so i guess they're even.

Test No. 3: Gui/OS/Firmware
My M3 DS Simply and SuperCard DS ONE is using a Windows Vista skin and the SuperCard DS ONE's games are on the top screen instead of the default (bottom screen).

Both carts are pretty much equal when it comes to playing games. M3 has better support tho. We SCDS users haven't got any type of firmwre update in too long and we haven't heard a peep from the SC team about it.
