Review [OLD] Slot-1 Flashcards Comparison Chart

[webez]

This chart needs an update...

 

[Costello]

I have updated a few things about the DS-Xtreme! (compatibility and rating)
these two things will be mainly mentionned in the 2nd opinion review.

I'm working on it right now!

That doesn't sound good ....
The MicroNinja should be in there to , its smart that team ninja released this before the M3 team came with the M3 Slot-1 Card thingy.

 

[kobewan]

The price difference between the M3 and the Supercard was mainly because the M3 used good quality internal memory for GBA games. M3 versions without GBA support are much cheaper.
The supercard uses a low quality memory chip so GBA games have slowdowns and bad suport.

In a slot-1 solution there is no such memory chip

That’s not true as the memory chip price in RAM between the higher clocked versions difference is less than a dollar. The memory chip they used is clocked a bit to slow which causes slowdown only in about 10-15% of the GBA's huge over 2000 game library. I don’t think that’s to bad and every game I have ever played has worked great.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe this. I think that the M3 does have a higher markup than the SuperCard, but a large part of it is also due to the better internal memory. The cost difference is less than a dollar you say? If that were true, then why doesn't the SuperCard increase their costs by less than a dollar and get the higher GBA support? Thats the main difference between the SC and the M3 and really the only reason people buy an M3 in the first place. If what you said was true, then romman must be absolutely retarded to not take the

I am sure that "less than a dollar" on 10,000 of units sold equals plenty of $$$

but then again; if better ram was more expensive, why not pass those costs through to the buyer?

i like doing math

 

[Timo710]

Yet again , lets not discuss that here , we where talking about Slot-1 Devices , And I think the MicroNinja might kick the biggest but out here , anyone with me?

 

[bollocks]

regarding the acekard - according to their FAQ, it does support clean dumps, but requires PC software to transfer files to AKFS, and it's a pretty safe bet that'll be windows only. don't know if you want to wait until it's out before you add more details, though.

 

[Timo710]

that would kinda suck , this prolly means the acekard needs software to add savegames and things like that , something the DS-X and Ninja DS don't need.

 

[thefoxhole]

all these slot 1's my mind is going crazy

 

[Timo710]

Jup , its weard how they suddenly all cracked the slot-1 code , something you could be called a noob for if you mentioned it a year ago.

 

[strud]

so any news on the DS-X 2nd look review?

[jono_]

im AUS, i got a G6 from hopebuy.

looking forward to these reviews.

 

[Timo710]

Only 1 thing is sure : The second oppinion review will bring out a certain negative point , I have a weard feeling 128 MegaByte games + don't work on the DS-X , Anyone here tried Elite beat agents on DS-X???

 

[yatzr]

Elite beat agents is listed as fully working including download play on the compatibility list

[Timo710]

So anyone can confirm what the second oppinion review will be about?

 

[Costello]

There is no 2nd opinion review.
The new firmware is out and fixes problems. We believe it is no longer necessary to edit our review anymore

The review was already edited when the new firmware went out.


About this chart, I'll update it soon.
There's a new product coming soon: microninja.

Jup we have all heard of it , still I think the DS-X doesn't deserve a 9.5/10 as in the fact that it isn't that perfect. It only has 512MB for crying out loud , also thats one high grade you guys gave it , A card should have a AVI player built in to deserve a 9.5/10 if you ask me.that said while the NinjaDS does the same job with future updates perfecting it , and that bitch can fire up cards that go up to 4GB , it has the same functions built in as the DSX and has an actual WiFi server built in .

Something that should get higher than a 7/10 , I guess you guys where suppriced with the DS-X working that good , but I am sure that the Micro ninja should get higher then the DS-X , but that would give it a 10/10 , which would make it the perfect card , something that it wouldn't be , cuz the perfect card doesn't really excist.

What did I just ask for , change that 9.5/10 into a 8.5/10 it was to high.
