Best Slot-2 flash card for gba support and 32mb of ram for browser

You do realize you are talking to yourself, right?

Just poking fun, glad to hear you found your answer.

 

The Supercard Rumble has no RAM and is thus useless for GBA gaming and for anything else that needs RAM.

If you want GBA support, a slot-2 Supercard would be a bad choice. It'll work fine for many games, but some have slowdowns due to the Supercard's slow RAM. Also, while you can use it with the SCDS to load *.gba games directly from the SCDS menu, you can't save this way so the feature is practically useless. You'd have to use the slot-2 Supercard's own menu for launching GBA games, patching on the PC beforehand.

Another option is the EZ-V 3in1 expansion pack. It only has 16 MB of RAM compared to the Supercard's 32, but you can still play 32 MB GBA games by flashing them to NOR.

The Opera browser will only use 8 MB of RAM no matter how much the device actually has. DSLinux will use as much RAM as you give it.

 

There is also the eWin 2-in-1 which has 32MB of volatile RAM (no NOR memory and no rumble).

Like DanTheManMS says, the Opera browser can only access 8MB of RAM regardless of how much your slot2 has, so the only purpose of more RAM would be to load larger GBA games into RAM (as opposed to having to load them to the slower NOR on the EZFlash 3-in-1) or for homebrew that might be able to utilize extra RAM.

I don't know if the SCDS1 has direct support for the eWin from the menu, but if not you can use GBA ExpLoader.

If you're getting it for Quake II, then do NOT get the Supercard. It has the slowest RAM out of all the devices SimonJ tested, which means the slowest gameplay. Quake II won't use more than 16 MB of extra RAM no matter how much you actually have, so do yourself a favor and get the 3in1 expansion pack, which coincidentally has the fastest RAM out of all the devices tested.
