Hacking R4 + Supercard Lite

[Kellicros]

Oh well, I can't find Ezflash or M3 Lite in my place, but they are selling Supercard Lite 2/3 of the R4's price.
I am only interested on the GBA supports, and maybe the ram for DS Browser(it will work if the rom is patched right?)

I read about the slightly bad GBA support, but it doesn't make them unplayable right? Anyone knows how well does it run games like Minish Cap, Final Fantasy 4,5,6? Is there Supercard Lite GBA compatibility list?

Oh and, another reason I am interested on this is because I have an extra microsd for my R4, could very well be used on the Supercard Lite. So what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Not everyone has the ability to buy online.

I really want a supercard lite... or EZF... or anything that allows me to play gba roms....

:-(

 

[MrDunk]

wait would the ezflash 3 in 1 expansion work with the r4?

Yes. There's hombrew that enables it.

 

[MrDunk]

Good news i think ill buy one right now!

 

[thomasroberts6]

So the supercard lite can play GBA roms?

I mean, Im just double checking...

Dont wanna pay 70 dollars to find it worthless!

because i really want one if so..

 

[DanTheManMS]

Yes, it can play GBA games. You get some slowdown with some games, and a couple titles don't boot at all, but usually it works fine. Saving can be a bit cumbersome.

http://www.rothmans.joskeonline.com/supercardsite/ has a compatibility list.

http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/SupercardGBASlowdowns has some ideas for how to make the slowdowns less noticeable.

 

[Kellicros]

Dang, sounds very troublesome, I hope there is a more complete compatibility list.

Oh yeah, the DS Browser will work with patch on it, right?

 

[DanTheManMS]

Yes, the Opera Browser will work when patched for the Supercard and run from the R4.

 

[thomasroberts6]

Hmmm...


I have the DS Browser 4gb thing in the bottom of my DS Lite, will that be compatible with the R4's opera browser.

 

[Kellicros]

Hmmm, I am curious how well the browser runs on Supercard Lite as the expansion pack, can someone with the combination please enlighten me here? If there is no serious problem about it I think I am gonna go and get it.

You need to patch the DS Browser ROM so it recognizes the Slot-2 SuperCard as a memory expansion. I don't have the link to the patches right now, but you should check GBATemp's download database

As a personal opinion, I strongly discourage you to buy a SuperCard as your main GBA source. It has slowdowns with MANY games and saving is very cumbersome. You have to send the saved game into a file with a button combo. If you forget before turning your DS off, boom! Save gone.

If you're willing to pay so much for that product, then try to get an EZ Flash 3in1 for a fraction of that price. I know you don't have access to online stores, but if somebody can lend you his credit card (obviously, you repay them later) or a bank account to make a transference (which is a nice alternative to credit card payment), go for it. You'll end up paying less for a better GBA product.

dont buy supercard lite, it cannot even run mario kart gba version fullspeed.

try to get the 3-in-1 expansion pack from ezflash or the m3 adapter card for playing gba games.

Thanks, now I that I have ditched the idea toget SC LITE, do you know or can you recommend me the best online store for south-east asia countries that sells EZflash 3 in 1, besides gameyeeah? Because now, I am worrying about the shipping fees.

EDIT: I have got a friend with pay pal.

 

[bfoos]

Gameyeeah will probably the cheapest all around choice. Cheap prices and shipping.

 

[aerowalk]

m3 lite is the best for playing gba in slot 2

 

[bfoos]

I wanted to get a M3 lite perfect, but I didn't have $70 and really wanted GBA support. I settled on the EZ 3in1. Much cheaper and suits my needs for now.
