Hacking Supercard MicroSD

[bobbyblunt]

Romman has announced that the Supercard MicroSD will be out at the end of the month. It will fit flush with the Lite. No word on if it will be the same color as the dust cover or the traditional Supercard blue/purple.

I'm not so sure if a card can be made flush with a micro-SD adapter.
EZ-Flash couldn't do it. Ewinflash couldn't do it, and now NEO couldn't do it.
There is simply not enough room. So expect a little bit of sticking out.

What about the M3 team claiming their lite product will be flush with the adapter? There are mods that can be done to the EZ4Lite to make it fit into the ds lite gba cover. Possibly all of them are doing it wrong.

after getting EZ flash lite i'm completely satisfied with their product. 0.8mm is neglible. Taken from bird's eye view, you don't even see the thing sticking out. only at 45 angle do you see it. At side ways, the amount that's sticking out is almost the same as the volume button sticking out.

I've never heard of those mods. You got a link?
But if you look at the new neo product, I can't see how you can get a micro-SD adapter in there with no sticking out:

shorten the contacts

Nice job.

But Why you dont buy EZ-Flash 4 Lite microSD? Is some problem with EZ flash cards??

 

[meangreenie]

The Sc is better with DS roms at this time.. I have both and can vouch for that

any pictures of the new sc lite???

 

[SuperCardStore]

No, sorry, I do not have any. I have bought them 'blind' because I do not think it much of a risk - romman has always kept his word to the letter in the past, and the entire range has a consistent history of regular firmware updates to resolve new and unexpected issues.
When he launched new products previously, he sent me out pictures and a price list a few days in advance to give me a chance to stock before release - I guess the same thing will happen with this product, so you will be able to see them on the official site on launch day.
It takes a week for my order to arrive from China, so I might not be able to take photos until a few days after the official launch, depending on when they arrive.
He only sent official pictures to me about the SuperCard SD, for example, three days before it was launched (23May05) - my stock did not arrive until after his far eastern resellers got theirs.
If I post pictures when he sends them to me, I guess he will end the practice of sending me out advance details of new products, so I will not do that. I have pressed him for a roadmap, but I reckon nobody can figure out what will happen next in the world of flash carts, so all plans are short term.
I am trying to read the market and guess what products will be available - it's one of the bits of being in business I enjoy.

Wow if SC can put out a lite cart with a mini SD
& stay away from that micro SD junk, they’ll kick ass!

 

[Madrigal]

^ I don't think that's possible. The reader for a MiniSD card is just too big to be able to make it the same size as the GBA slot cover. Romman has already confirmed it will be MicroSD anyway.

I think this one.
The author said he will give the answer later.

That looks sweet but I still wish they would stay with Mini-SD as its much faster and has bigger capacities then Micro-SD. What does all that Asian writing say on that page? All I get is EZPASS3?
