I'm thinking about getting a Supercard DSTwo for my 3DS since I want to update it. Getting kinda tired of 4.5. But I am worried about the Supercard getting a permanent block. I bought an Acekard in 2011 when I got my 3DS, but it was permablocked a year ago if I remember correctly?

Is there a risk the Supercard is meeting the same fate? Should I wait for a newer flashcart to hit the market?

Well the DSTWO hasn't been blocked yet after over 3 years, but who knows if it ever will get a permanent block, it's the best cart you can purchase.

DSTwo has an onboard CPU which allows it to update even if it's blocked by Ninty.
Besides, the SC Team is reliable and have provided an update to the old Supercard SD (GBA card) a year or 3 ago (SCSD was released in 03/04?)

Go for a DSTwo, you won't be disappointed.

For all I know, it was, still and probably will stay the best DS flashcart there is.
It has far more superior specs and features than all others but it has the only one downside which is the price.
It is still affordable but there are people out there whom can't waste much money on something like that.
I hope them the best anyway :)

Assuming the team keeps releasing updates, that is. There's no indication they won't, but if they did, even an onboard CPU won't do any good. And you don't need the onboard CPU to update if you're smart and update the DSTWO before the system, anyway (or have a DS/DSL). The onboard CPU is nice and all (power drain aside) but the real key is support, which they definitely have at the moment.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that updating a system before the flashcard has been updated is foolish.
Atleast, one would think that is.

Well, I haven't seen the SC team suddenly drop support on products tho.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
