I recently bought one from here (it says Factory-Updated to DSi 1.4.5 and 3DS 9.7.0-25x), but I've heard that Nintendo has stopped blocking the DSTwo, so will it work on the n3dsxl (latest firmware)?

Yes,

I owned a chinese version DSTWO, loaded with Chinese firmware & EOS. Self mod to English compatible menu. Still works until O3DS 9.9.

I have a 10.1 New 3ds XL and it works fine on this version for me. Using the newest Firmware 1.25 from the DStwo website.

Is the flash cart (and roms) all that is needed to run ds/gba/snes games on n3dsxl with fw 9.9?

Sorry, I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject and I believe the answer is yes, but I'm not quite sure and lots of info is about 3ds rom support which doesn't necessarily interest me.

Thanks in advance

Yes,
You can also skip this card altogether and just use GBA and SNES emulators through browerhax.

There's NDS games themselves to consider. Even if there's currently a way to install DS ROMs onto sys/emuNAND (which I don't believe there is), the DSTWO is still pretty much the best way to play those games. Built-in cheat support and save states for DS games are great tools to have fun with.

Whilst on the topic of DSTwo, is it worth buying one now or waiting to see how the new DSTwo Plus fairs in comparison to the other flashcarts?
I would wait, unless patience isn't your thing :P . Waiting means that the DSTWO+ will either drop the price of the original (if you can snag it in that space where both are being produced) or it won't see the light of day at all. But if you buy one now and then the better version comes out, you'd probably be kicking yourself (I know I would). There's also the question of if you even need a 3DS flashcart. If you already have a good CFW on your system, it kind of renders the need for a 3DS flashcart useless. That being said, a regular DSTWO would still be a good way to go to supplement that, solely on the benefits it has when running regular DS games.

I bought a Supercard off of Playmods and I've downloaded the latest EOS and firmware update. I ran the firmware update on my DSLite and it said "no need to update". I'm assuming this means the Supercard should work just fine on my 9.5.X firmware 3DS? I know I'm probably being overcautious, but I just want to be absolutely certain it will work before I try it on my 3DS, because I know the 3DS bricks any flashcarts it detects. My DSLite works okay, and I'd be fine with using it exclusively on the DSLite, but the L button is unreliable and it's fewer electronics to carry around.

Is there any way for me to check which firmware version the Supercard is running? I checked myself, but I couldn't find anything in the menus.
