I would assume since they just literally shipped it as is inside an SD card case, no packing, shipping probably can cause additional damage, wonder if carts shipped from USA or uk have the same fail rates
all 10 of my cards are from Inside AU for shipping with 4 fails

Was it actually? All the US shipping options I saw had longer shipping times than the China ones. Made me think they were still shipping from China, but using a broker of some sort once they got to the US.
Hard to say. It took about a week and a half to arrive and the shipping partner was labelled "INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE" and was first scanned by USPS in Illinois. Didn't take as long to arrive as things I order from China so I would imagine there was some stock stateside before I ordered, but it did take some time from the initial notice in tracking to getting into the hands of the USPS.

Note the dsone somehow screwed the eject mech on my cart slot, in short I have replace the cartridge slot, atleast it's easy on a n3ds, cartridges don't lock in anymore
I did notice it was difficult to insert in my DSi. I have been gently encouraging it to go in smoothly.

I ordered mine from eBay from a seller listing it as UK Stock. It was quickly set to dispatched but took about 10 days to arrive. I suspect it wasn't really UK stock. Mine is working.

Hmm, the ones I have have no problem going in.

My refund for the 2 faulty ones in the latest order was approved white showing video of all 4 cards using the built in test.

@boots_n_cats the offer to get my 4 faulty cards is still on the table, if you want them, just PM me the address, I will pay for shipping
Welp, guess they just hate me.

What sets this flash cart apart from the other cloned cards that are readily available on aliexpress? ace3ds and the two r4i clones? I've been reading about failed cards here, pretty hesitant to try it out, though I don't really need another basic flash cart.

off subject, would be neat if they cloned supercard dstwo. still would cost more though.

I'm good for now, if my next batch comes without issues I might change my tune.

The big thing would be the in-game menu with RTS (more reliable than other carts but still not perfect), game guide, cheat engine toggle, slow motion, and backlight controls. It's got most of the features of the DSTWO for DS games (only missing the ability to toggle individual cheats and the cheat creation tool). It can't run the enhanced emulators of the DSTWO but if you don't care about that, the DSONE is a really good flashcart.

I see some weird game issues like graphic glitches, stuttering... but twilightmenu/ndsbootstrap runs them just fine.
Do I need to adjust the sdcard speed in the settings?

I had two arrive today, 15 days total shipping from China to east coast United States.

The packaging was sparse to say the least (rattling in plastic cases in a plastic bag), but both cards psram tested ok. Maybe I got lucky or maybe they’ll fail over time. They both bulge a little in the middle and stick a bit in the cartridge slot. The plastic is thinner, more poorly molded than any other card I have.

Hard to complain too much given the price, etc. I see three sets of files on the SuperCard site. Since this supports SDHC is this a clone of the "mini" or standard dsonei?

OK, this is my first flashcart ever. I have a DS Lite, and I was attracted by the combination of mostly good comments here and low price there. I have been using it for a few days now, and after seeing the upper comment, I am happy to realize I downloaded the correct files for it, right away. :-D

How it works for me? Kinda OK, I guess... but not perfect. First I added a few random games to it, just to test it out. All seemed to work fine, including the in-game menus, saving, anything I tested, really. So far so good. Then I tried to add some homebrew, namely some function testing tools (DiagnoSe and checkNDS) and the GameBoy emulator Gameyob, along with some GB games. All three work fine (as well as all the emulated games so far, I love that emulator!), but then I was surprised that I can't call in-game menus in these home-brew apps -- is it normal? And after that, I have noticed that sometimes when I try to open in-game menus in a native game, the system crashes, but not always, and not even always with the same game... But most of the time it seems to work fine, though.

Another thing I find strange is that the cart loads immediately after I start the DS Lite, in spite of my setting in the DS firmware to start carts manually form the DS home screen. Is that normal with these carts?

You can use either. The DSONEi and DSONE SDHC EOS files are exactly the same, the only difference is the top level folder name in the zip archive.

Soft reset in homebrew is and uncommon and not very reliable feature. I think they abandoned it between OS V3 and EOS. No cart has an in-game menu for homebrew and the DSONE and DSTWO are the only carts with any in-game menu worth mentioning at all. I’ve never had crashes with the in-game menu with the exception of sometimes when restoring a save state (which is sort of expected given how they are implimented). Do you know which games you are getting this with?

Which games are you seeing this in? I just set the speed to fast but I’m not convinced the setting even does anything. The Supercard DSONE family was historically sensitive to SD card speed but any modern, name-brand SD card should work perform finne.
