Hi,
I'm looking at getting a slot-1 card for my DS in the next few days. (original model DS, actually I got it a month before release direct from nintendo as a pre-release offer)
I've read through your reviews and also on recommendation from a friend of mine was looking at Supercard One DS V3 (I think that's its name) but another friend has bought a much cheaper R4 card and says all is good. Reading your reviews on here I see that the R4 didn't work as well, but that was a while ago and my friend has tested some of the non-working parts of the R4 review and they work.
My question really is what is the card to get today? The reviews were a snapshot in time but does Supercard have any real advantages over R4? Is it worth the extra money? Has R4 improved since the reviews or is Supercard still superior?
My intended uses:
I have something like 30+ DS carts and loads more GBA carts collected over the years and would like to not carry them around all the time, plus I work with linux and snes stuff so anything that will allow SNES, Linux and reliable game emulation would be great
