Finally I read your "guide" and I was quite amused
I'd like you to comment on some points I have about your "guide":
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?
- "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).
- "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.
- 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"
- You write DS game support is "excellent" for SC, where M3's and G6's is only "great": Please explain...
- "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.
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 G6's menu isn't skinnable, you can only change the wallpaper.
- 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?
- G6 has "Slow writing speeds": Where did you get this? It's a normal USB-device. Please show us your benchmarks that prove this.
- 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.
- 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.
- G6: "Corruption is starting to appear in
many users G6 Lites...": Many? I don't think so.
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.
- "Horrible homebrew support": It's not horrible, homebrew that doesn't need direct flashcart access work flawlessly.
- "... more expensive than SuperCard": No, EZ4 is only $33 and EZ4L is only $40.5, where SCL is $42.99 (Source: Winsunx).
Ewin 2:
- "Mediocre DS game compatibility and performance": No, it's 100% --> update!
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.
