I bought my M3 Perfect Mini-SD system right before the PassCard flood and first generation of Slot-1 solutions. I'm very happy with it since I like keeping the possibility of playing GBA games, which isn't possible with Slot-1 systems of course. M3Perfect works well with every game I've played up to now too, no complaints about it.

But thing is I hate that PassKey thing that came with it. Its big and sticking out badly. I usually slide it off before starting the game, but still its rather inconvenient to carry around and sldie back in every time I reload a game.

So I was jugglign my options and wanted to know what you guys would suggest on this.

I know Slot-1 solutions still give me the chance to boot from my M3Perfect, such as M3Simply, acting like a PassKey. It could play NDS games on its own as well, the Slot-2 one could be used only for GBA games as a result.

On the other hand I could just get a cheap Passcard and keep the entireity of it.

Note that I got a Phat DS, not a Lite, so its not a question of size per say.

I've looked into the list of Slot-1 systems and passcards, like R4 systems with built-in memory, or M3Simply with MicroSD cards. I figure that the R4 8gb is actually a 1GB flash memory, a 8GB SD card costs alot more than this. I'm just really looking for your opinions and suggestions on this.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
