Pics and Q&A
GBAtemp has just received the brand new Supercard DSOnei in house, including the new USB firmware writer.
The Supercard DSOnei comes with the card, a MicroSD reader and a USB firmware writer used to update the bootstrap of the card in case Nintendo decide to block the flashcard from booting in a future DSi update. The whole thing comes a in a very slick silver box.
I've only had a very limited time hands on with the card so far. The firmware is quite nice, albeit a little slow in its current state. Folders full of games take quite a while to scroll through but at least there isn't the long delay in entering folders like you would find in the iTouch2. There are a number of view options to change the look of the firmware which is nice to see.
The Supercard fits very nicely into the included USB writer, which lights up when plugged into the computer. The writer does not show up on the computer. It instead just simply draws power from the computer to write a firmware file to the card. If a new firmware file for the Supercard DSOnei is released to counteract a potential DSi update you would simply place it on your micro SD then plug the card and writer into any USB port. The red light will flash when writing (it will take about 8 minutes supposedly) and then turn green when writing is complete.
Will I continue to tinker around with the card, but in the time being I would like to open the floor to GBAtemp members to ask any questions they have about the Supercard DSOnei. Simply reply to this topic and I will do my best to answer all questions.
I would like to thank My Gaming Mart for sending the Supercard DSOnei sample for review. My Gaming Mart specializes in DS and DSi flashcards and are based in Canada.
