Hacking Where can i Buy a supercard?

[Deleted User]

Hey,
i want to buy a SuperCard Mini SD. This one: http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/minisd_jj.html
But i dont know where i can buy. Does it work good with the GBA SP? And is it better than EZ Flash IV? and cheaper?

Thanks

Cheaper? No.
Easy to find? Not at all.

These have been out of production for awhile. You'll have to hunt pretty hard, as anybody else willing to look far and wide, is probably going to snatch it up themselves.

I can't comment on how good it is personally.

Easy to find, cheap, decent card, albeit worse than an EZ IV.

Well, that's what I get for assuming. :3

Last time I checked in most places, the only slot 2 I could find was the EZ-IV. :/

Okay thanks to everyone. But what is now better?

It does NOT work well with GBA games. Just get an EZ Flash IV.

Why doesn't it works so well?

Some games go really slow (almost unplayable), and it also doesn't save SRAM automatically. You have to do a Quick Power Cycle (turn off and on rapidly) and then manually do a key combination to save the SRAM. If you forget to do it, say goodbye to your hard-earned progress.

SuperCard MINISD Product Introduction




This is an assistant system of GBA console. You can play GBA games, watch movies, read e-books, view images and play music by using this system. It supports IDS/IDSL/NDS/NDSL as well

The principle is to make use of large memory room to play more GBA/NDS games in only one card on GBA/IDS/IDSL/NDS/NDSL. The contents of MINI SD can be transferred from PC, very conveniently as a U-disc.

What the hell? Why does it say ids and idsl? What the HELL are those? Also... if they are trying to say "DSi", they are straight up lying. Seriously, they don't have GBA slots, this is NOT compatible...

Anyways, yeah. EZ Flash IV all the way. Such an amazing cart.

The iQue DSL is referred to as a IDSL, and iQue DS -> IDS. These are on the Supercard boxes and possible others before DSi existed. The iQue DS(L) plays all DS games including chinese ones, while the regular DS cannot due to the lack of chinese fonts. DS game are region free however.

Sounds a good resource, but why it 's so cheap... Worse ...

 

[GreatCrippler]

No idea why the price is what it is, but I use this site ll the time. They're a little wonky on delivery times. (Anywhere from 10 days to about 20) Other than that, they are great. As for why it is worse, the device suffers from slowdown on some games. (Mario World, and Contra for example) It's a good solid card that will play most things on the GBA. For $10 cheaper than an EZ 4, it is nice. If you have the extra to spend, grab the EZ 4. No slowdowns, and a little better save setup.

Judging from the pictures it seems that they are fakes/clones. There's a thread on the supercard forums, but there hasn't been a statement from the official team about these.

 

[GreatCrippler]

Well, it's a clone at worse. They work just fine.
