New SuperCard DS(ONE) Info and Photos! Update

It does default back to 3x when you turn the DS off and on again.

You then have to go to the menu and change it back again.

However when I changed something in the global.ini file on the SD card, I noticed that the SD Speed has a setting in there.

I will try to change the speed to 4x in the .ini file and see if it stays at that.

EDIT: OK, just tried to change the SD Speed and the Saver Size (temp saver) in the global.ini file on PC. The changes are saved in the file, but the menu options still show the defaults - also the SD Speed does not change unless manually selected. However this is the Global.ini file in the OS, there is also a global.ini file in the Firmware part, which may overide the setting in the OS file.

Anyway, at the moment it looks like a manual change - unless the SC Team can fix it....???

Cheers,

A.I.

P.S. - The setting I was changing was to remove the File Info box that appears when the GUI first loads. It is annoying as you have to close it each time.

This is changed in the global.ini file - Thanks to Sarah99 for posting how to do this.

AI,

You mentioned several times in this thread that you are gettting a sandisk Ultra II 2GB micro sd friday. I wanted to get one of these as well, how much and where did you buy it from?

Cheers

What about speed?

I haven't seen you mention the Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow intro test.
Does it lag?

And does Metroid Pinball have slowdown?

Thanks!

OK, Castlevania DOS video no lag with a setting of 4x on the SD Speed.

Metroid Pinball - During actual gameplay there is no slowdown that I can see from playing it for about 15mins using 3x SD Speed. There does appear to be some slight lag on the sound for the main menu, but I am not sure if this is normal because even using SD Speed 5x does not stop this.

Cheers,

A.I.

Scroll down to the MicroSD cards and you will see it listed.

I was just looking through Bamboogaming, and was surprised to see the price for the Supercard DS was only around £23. Surely it cant be, as on supercardstore the price is £39.99, nearly twice the price!

Am i missing something?

A stupid question: can I use both a SC one and a Sc lite on a DS lite at the same time?
I mean, can I tell to Scone to read the Sclite in the slot 2?

nightraver · Dec 21, 2006

Hmmz, seems like a dissapointment. I guess nobody was waiting for a X9TF clone. Setting save types is not good. Download play only working on some games

I hope the other slot1 cards will be better, or else I still have to turn to the way too expensive en limited memory DS-Extreme, seems that's the only "drag 'n drop" solution by now, and download play works on most of the games...

setting the save type won't be necessary once the dat gets sorted out, and it only needs to be done once per game anyway, and only if the .dat file has it wrong. it will need to be updated as games are released, but there'll be no need to wait for updates we can do it ourselves.

Download play ... not enough testing to say whether the SCDS is doing poorly, passing, or great at this, but I honestly don't care - I'm 39 years old so I'm not surrounded by DS gamers. If its that important to you, enough to justify an extra $75 or so, well good luck with that.

Bamboogaming is often way cheaper than european stores for most products.
I bought my SC DS One from them, and I was disappointed for the % saving being lower than other times:
In €uro a SC DS 1 is 33 @ bamboogaming, 40 in Italy, +21% (but lower S&H)
A SC miniSD is 27 @bamboogaming, 40 to 50 in Italy, +50 -:- 85%

I'm ordering my SC DS off of realhotstuff.com and they are charging $50 compared to Bamboo's $42...BUT, last time i ordered from Bamboo, it took 20+ days to ship it to me in the U.S. With realhotstuff, it'll be here in a few days. I'll pay the extra...$8 if i can get it quicker.

I had the same problem with the SD speed setting. Try clicking the pulldown menu "Other" -> "Save Menu Option" after you set the SD speed. After that the SD speed setting should be intact even when you power OFF -> ON again.

From what I can tell, the sound slowing down during menus is a problem all flash cards have, so that's not good. :/

But the intro video to Castlevania running smoothly is the ultimate test of a flash card's speed!

Looks like bamboogaming.com has the supercard ds for the lowest out of all of these. Shipping added on was about $9 and the only choice of shipping I could choose from was Reg/EMS. Has anyone else gotten theirs from this site? And if so, how did everything else fair? How long was the order processing and shipping? If it takes them forever to ship and they've got shitty customer service, I'd be willing to pay a few extra bucks elsewhere :/

according to the list at dualscene, the game uses a 2M save. is this what the SCDS is assigning? if not, try manually setting it to 2M.

I've bought other things from Bamboogaming and I rate them highly for customer service.

How's their shipping time? Reasonable or rediculously long?

I live in NY...and it took 20+ days to get here. Great customer service, but still, i didn't know shipping was going to take so long. I'll probably buy from the supercard store or realhotstuff.
