I have the supercard lite, but I got an R4 as well. I figured out getting an R4 and a 1gb microsd card was cheaper than getting a 2gb microsd card. The R4 is great for a slot 1 solution. You won't miss the massive supercard CF and the CF card sticking out the front. You can also use both for even more games and play GBA from the supercard.

Bamboogaming take a while but never charged my import tax. The package came straight from hong kong and for some reason never had a customs decleration saying what was in it and the value You do risk import tax if you order outside the UK anyway. Its better than paying £31 and the silly UK prices just to avoid import tax and get the product quicker.

 

If your SCCF is working fine and you don't have any complaints towards it, I don't see a reason for you to get an R4.

 

I am a long term Supercard Lite user, but recently upgraded to a R4.

The R4 is brilliant, and resulted in my removing my Supercard Lite and putting it in the draw. Howevrr, its no back in as I am using the NDS Browser patched with supercard support to browse the internet. Fantastic.

I also now am using my Supercar Lite purely for ScummVM, although I am looking forward to the DLDI support for ScummVM to make the experience better.

 

For anyone interested I decided to get one. Got here today so I'm atill in the process of playing about with it but I am initially impressed. Got 1 with 3 1Gb Kingston(Japan) MicroSD cards. However I have noticed the problems I found in 2 roms with the supercard are still present with the R4. Namely the faces gliching in Harry potter GOF and the top of the touch screen flickering in Star Wars Ep3.

 

Really worth the money- simple to use
but for your case, if you don't want your card to stick out, then use R4, if you don't care and your card is working, keep using it.
