Finally I read your "guide" and I was quite amused
I'd like you to comment on some points I have about your "guide":
Sorry bud I was in the hospital and didn't get a chance to see your posts but I will comment now.
Supercard:
- "The SuperCard Lite has the best DS game performance of any Slot 2 flashcart": No. And don't say Ult. Spiderman, you have to do the "Press Start" work-around just like with M3 and G6. The G6 is already perfect for DS games, how can something be better than perfect?
Siperman works great on my SuperCard Lite, but yes you have to do the start trick on my miniSD version. And yes the SuperCard Lite does have the best Slot 2 performance as you can use any memory type and get near perfect DS gameplay. Other Slot 2 flashcarts require high-speed memory and even then they can still lag a bit.
- "All models feature great performance and compatibility": Does this include GBA performance and compatibility? If yes, your statement is wrong. If no, your statement is wrong ("All models feature great performance and compatibility in DS games" would be correct then).
All models DO provide great performance and compatibility. I do state in the same list that GBA could be improved, however, I don't feel that 10% of GBA games having problem out of a huge library of games is a compatibility problem. I think the GBA performance problems on the SuperCard are embellished to the hilt and almost all games run perfect. And like I said before DS is the best and homebrew is another plus.
- "Best bang for your buck for all models": No. The Ewin 2 (Ewin 2 SD is only $22 at Winsunx!) is cheaper and has 100% DS compatibility.
The EWIN2 is a pure waste of money and has horrid lag and slowdown. Sorry, for the money the SuperCard rumble without GBA is way more worth the money! Hell, any of the models are and they inlcude GBA and homebrew that works!
- You call GBA support "ok": Advance Wars 2, Mario Kart, Metroid ZM, Jet Grind Radio, Medal of Honor Underground, Sigma Star Saga... are soooo slow. And then add the games with slowdowns here and there and at bosses: Castlevania AoS and Yoshi's Island only to name two. What's "ok" about this? In the same manner you also call EZ4's DS game support "ok"
The SuperCard only has problems with aprox 10% of the entire 2000+ GBA library so I can forgive a few games that have problems as I can play the other thousand that do work. EZ's DS game performance isn't quite as good as M3/G6 and is no where near SuperCard's. With the EZ you have to have a very fast microSD to get decent lag-free performance.
- You write DS game support is "excellent" for SC, where M3's and G6's is only "great": Please explain...
The SuperCard has perfect DS performance and support when using any type of memory while the M3 requires faster memory to accomplish the same task. The M3 and SuperCards' both do DS near perfect but the SuperCard gets kudos for have better memory bandwidth. The SuperCard Lite has the best DS performance of any slot 2 flashcart and the m3 is not far behind as both are great flashcarts.
- "DS save system": You give Supercard=1, M3=3, EZ4=2 and G6=1 (the smaller the better)
This is complete nonsense. First of all, M3, EZ4 and G6 have the exact same save system (automatic), yet they have different ratings
And why would the SC's save system be better. All devices save your game automatically, no need save anything manually.
Ugh, no I think you need to read up on your save systems there bud.
The SuperCard and G6 save instantly to the memory while the M3 saves after a restart.
G6 & M3:
- G6's and M3's "software isn't as easy to use as competing flascarts": Mmmm, no. Really this is a matter of taste and shouldn't find a place in an objective guide. You can ask many that use both softwares and you will hear different things.
The SuperCard software is the easiest software for any flashcart and it does make a difference. And its my guide anyway.
- The G6's menu isn't skinnable, you can only change the wallpaper.
My mistake, I'll have to update this, thanks!
- M3: "All models, except the Lite, are too big and don't even fit in the DS phat flush": Isn't this also a con for Supercard?
No, since SuperCard has a version that sits flush in each DS model. ig: DS Phat = SuperCard miniSD; SuperCard Lite = SuperCard Lite
- G6 has "Slow writing speeds": Where did you get this? It's a normal USB-device. Please show us your benchmarks that prove this.
The writing speeds on the G6 aren't quite as fast and easy as they are with "flash media" flashcarts. Having to use the "burner" can be a pain and its not as convenient as a card reader/memory combo for adding files to your flashcart.
- G6's "menu is clunky and slow": Eh no. When you turn it on, you emmidiatly see your DS games, simply double-tap your rom of choice and that's it. You can scroll down using the touchscreen or using the R-button, which is fast and responsive. Please explain.
I guess you have never used the SuperCard's GUI or even the EZ's. They are both faster than the G6/M3 menus and they are clunky and slow. You saying that they're not doesn't make them any faster or more responsive.
- G6: "You can easily make a mistake formatting and the recovery software isn't that helpful": This one is the best, I had to laugh a lot when I read it
I really don't understand this. And it's everything else but not an objective statement. Please explain it.
I have had many users contact me needing help as they made a mistake and formatted their whole G6. They then can't figure out how to fix the issue and there isn't much info anywhere around the net to help them.
- G6: "Corruption is starting to appear in many users G6 Lites...": Many? I don't think so.
Talk to the forum users about this as some say its even getting worse!
EZ4:
- "Updates and support are few and far between if you can get their site to work": Weren't Lego Star Wars and Harvest Moon working on EZ4 before SC and M3/G6? Wasn't Megaman ZX saving on EZ4 before all others? Weren't you waiting more that two weeks for a new update, where the other flashcarts (EZ4, M3, G6 and Ewin 2) already were updated? Isn't the official Supercard site always hard to reach when an update is released --> then this should be a con for SC too.
No, as the SuperCard and M3 teams consistently have regular updates and provide support for their products. I have never had a problem getting to the SuperCard site and even if it were down there are over 4 other mirror sites. The EZ teams' site never works right and it’s only as of recent that they have had a lot of updates. The SuperCard team did have an issue recently but they have corrected the problem and I assume normal updates will return as usual.
- "Horrible homebrew support": It's not horrible, homebrew that doesn't need direct flashcart access work flawlessly.
The EZ has crappy homebrew support when compared to M3 and SuperCard.
- "... more expensive than SuperCard": No, EZ4 is only $33 and EZ4L is only $40.5, where SCL is $42.99 (Source: Winsunx).
Sorry, at every other store on the net the EZ is almost $10-15 more than the SC. And I am going by the overall product line price which is much cheaper. And now with the rumble version its even cheaper! The SuperCard is the best bang for your buck.... like I said before.
Ewin 2:
- "Mediocre DS game compatibility and performance": No, it's 100% --> update!
As my guide is almost a month old it needs to be updated which it will be this coming month! HEAR THAT, NEW UPDATE COMING THIS MONTH WITH ALL NEW INFO!
To summarize, your "guide" is full of subtile fanboy statements. You make sound SC's flaws not so bad (eg GBA support) and other cart's bigger than they are (eg save system). Correct them and your guide will be fine.
Lol, fanboi statements?! Well, when you write a huge 26+ page guide/FAQ with pictures, comparisons and information then you can do what you want with it but in the end it’s my guide. Instead of bashing me why didn't you post any points of the guide that you did like or thought might be helpful to others?
I can tell you are a fanboi yourself just by your own comments but I, and many others, thought my guide was very unbiased. I tried to make a flashcart guide so easy to understand that anyone could get started with and in the end I think I've accomplished my goal. I have answered all of your "rebuttals" and I didn't have to as I don't owe you anything.
I don't owe anyone anything as I am just a single person trying to help others. I spend all day answering user’s questions via forum, im, email and chat, not being paid but rather just to help them out of my own good will.
You should try it sometime…

At least get rid of that comparison chart with all those numbers which "is" your opinion granted but also shows where your loyalties lie and how Supercard ends up being the first thing the reader sees because that's what you want them to buy..
I only have a couple points you might want to modify in your guide as well fifth....and maybe you're under the wrong impression for some reason on certain issues (I know this because I own sc lite, g6 3rd gen/g6 lite, m3sd/m3lite, and ezflashII):
1) You do not need faster media anymore for the m3 on ds rom performance (insert any version here) ever since the faster dma methods implemented from v27+ (now on v29 for both firmware and gm). I know this because I've done tests with both ultra and regular vanilla sandisks. This is of course granted you formatted the card properly with the right cluster size.
2) You are wrong about the g6 saving system. They flush sram upon reboot into the main menu to update the .sav files.
3) To tell you the truth, you've used one you've used them all. The m3/g6 patching software is just as easy as supercard's patching software and vice versa for updating firmware as well.
4) You are wrong about the flushness of m3/g6 products. M3 mini and also the g6 3rd gen both fit perfectly flush in a ds phat since they are the size of a gba cart. I was under the misunderstanding of the m3 mini since near beginning production, it was slightly larger than the typical gba cart but now it is flush according to all the people that has a new one.
5) I don't think it's any easier to mess up a format on a g6 vs formatting a sd/cf card....the g6 comes with a mptutil to help with a low level format (that is easy as hell to use by the way, you click ok and next 3 times probably total after starting the app without changing any settings).
6) G6 lite corruption issue is there, this I believe. But it really is a hit and miss. I believe supercard has defective units as well, but it seems the g6 lites are being reported more.
Just some thoughts. Good guide in general though for people starting out, this I will agree with.

If I were the direct next to answer you, I would nearly write the same as tama_mog. It's obvious that you didn't have enough information on the differents carts (save systems and flush models) and more important no experience with them. Besides the wrong points tama_mog mentions, you have a lot of comments in your guide, which are simply a matter of taste (eg easyness of software). Even if it's your guide, it should be objective, shouldn't it?
Oh, and I myself have a Supercard, so I know both the SC and G6Lite menu...

I know the performance was enhanced in the last update but it is still not as good as the SuperCard Lite. The SuperCard Lite will run perfect with any memory under any cluster size. How many users are going to know to format to what cluster size and fat type? The average user will get better performance, with DS, from the SuperCard Lite.
2) You are wrong about the g6 saving system. They flush sram upon reboot into the main menu to update the .sav files.
The M3 is the flashcart that reboots and finishes the save. The G6 saves instantly like the SuperCard.
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=34239
3) To tell you the truth, you've used one you've used them all. The m3/g6 patching software is just as easy as supercard's patching software and vice versa for updating firmware as well.
Not to most users that have used both.
4) You are wrong about the flushness of m3/g6 products. M3 mini and also the g6 3rd gen both fit perfectly flush in a ds phat since they are the size of a gba cart. I was under the misunderstanding of the m3 mini since near beginning production, it was slightly larger than the typical gba cart but now it is flush according to all the people that has a new one.
If you read my guide I explain all of the versions of the M3 line:
M3 Perfect miniSD – miniSD – miniSD version in the M3 line of products.
M3 Perfect miniSD Pro – miniSD – miniSD version with GBA support removed.
M3 Perfect miniSD Slim – miniSD – Redesigned miniSD version that almost sits flush in the DS Phat.
I say almost since it is awkward shaped and doesn't look or sit like a GBA game. Its also not flush to the GBA like the SuperCard or any GBA designed flashcart.
5) I don't think it's any easier to mess up a format on a g6 vs formatting a sd/cf card....the g6 comes with a mptutil to help with a low level format (that is easy as hell to use by the way, you click ok and next 3 times probably total after starting the app without changing any settings).
I agree but some people never learn.
6) G6 lite corruption issue is there, this I believe. But it really is a hit and miss. I believe supercard has defective units as well, but it seems the g6 lites are being reported more.
The SuperCard problems are defective units while the G6 problems seem to be software based. I disagree though as I think many more users report the pin problems in the SuperCards more than the corruption issues.
Just some thoughts. Good guide in general though for people starting out, this I will agree with.
Thanks tama_mog.
I think everyone is taking this way out of context. I never said the M3/G6 products were in anyway inferior to SuperCard products. I let users decide what they want to buy based on their needs. If they need an overall good performer that does DS and GBA then I suggest an M3/G6. If the user needs GBA most of all then I suggest EZ. And if the user wants perfect, no hassle, DS and great homebrew with ok GBA then its SuperCard.
All of the "big three" are great flashcarts but each has their own strengths and weaknesses. I just point them out in my guide and I'm sorry if in the end the SuperCard, IMO, comes out on top. I love constructive criticism and you will see some of the things you've all suggested in the next incarnation of the guide. But in the end its my guide which took me hours to write and I'll incorporate and support what I wish to.

But a buyers guide shouldn't tell people what you believe they should buy by inserting your own opinion into the fold..
The plusses/minuses for each flashcart in the beginning and the homebrew part on the second half is fine.. Just that stupid scorechart right smack in between the two that needs to go along with those unnecessary comments which follows it..
Give them the facts surrounding the advantages and disadvantages of each flashcart (which you did) then have them decide without no added biased (that you didn't do by adding in that scorechart), which would save you a page

From Qrazie's review:
"he G6/L has a unique save management system that will be music to many users ears after dealing with carts such as the M3 over a long period of time. The G6/L actually saves directly to the cart, without storing them temporarily in memory to be written the next time the NDS/L is powered on1"
This is 100% completely false. Unless he has some magical g6 unit. Just for the record.
