SD slot position has no drawbacks, at least you won't loose the card by accident
#SUPERCARD SD SOFTWARE#
pc patching software is a pain in the a** to use, no batch support (one rom at a time) you must use 8.3 names (8 characters for name + 3 characters for extension), cart has problems with longer names you must use MiniSD card, using microSD->miniSD adapter is not a reliable solution 32MB games must be copied to internal flash memory before playing (~4 minutes, next runs- instant), RAM supports only 16MB much better compatibility than SuperCard gamesaves are copied to SD automatically (but you can prevent from saving) cart supports additional features like real-time saves game saves must be transferred to SD manually (there is no autosave, saves in SRAM are not preserved after powering off) ram chips used are fast enough- large number of games suffer from slowdowns (like 1/2 of original speed)
#SUPERCARD SD PC#
better pc side software, supports batch operations Roms must be patched before they can be used- both carts provide SRAM based saves only while games were also made for FLASH saves.
It’s an ugly shade of translucent purple.How this works: rom is transferred form SD to a ram chip which emulates a proper cart (from GBA point of view).
It’s not the same ugly gray of other GBA games. Pros & Cons #Ĭheaper than ROM carts for other consoles. If you want to play English translations, this may not be the product for you. If you intend to play homebrew games, this is an excellent choice. I tried some of the homebrew games and they all worked. I attempted playing the unpatched ROM to make sure it was not the ROM. This changes all the dialog in the game to English.
#SUPERCARD SD PATCH#
The English translations of Japanese games are usually handled by a patch that is applied to the original ROM file. With the Nintendo DS, there are many companies making clones and re-branding existing ones. This isn’t actually unusual in the ROM cart world. Apparently Exsek just re-branded the carts with their labels so they could sell them under their name. Lo and behold, I did not have a knock off at all.
#SUPERCARD SD FULL#
I’m lucky to get 3 hours out of a full charge where I get 5-6 with a standard cart.Ībout a week after I started using it, I noticed something odd about the label. It turns out that the cart is slightly bigger than an original cart as shown below.Īfter using the cart for a few months, I’ve realized that it drains battery faster than a standard cart would. I thought this because it causes a little wobble when pressure is placed on the different sides of the cart when inserted. I originally thought it was sticking out due to the Micro SD slot kind of sticking out of the connector part of the cart. The only thing is, when inserted into my GBA SP, it sticks out more than a standard cart as shown in the image below. It’s pretty sturdy, it feels like a standard Gameboy Advanced cart. These games were never released in the west. I picked it up because I wanted to play Mother 3 and Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart. That is the name of a ROM Cartridge for the Gameboy Advance. Several months back, I found a knockoff of a Supercard. This brings me to the topic of this article. This made me wish that they had affordable options for other consoles. A few years ago, I purchased an R4DS to play Nintendo DS Homebrew and translated games. Backwards compatibility on Xbox One is emulation. The Virtual Console is literally emulation on the Wii. Nintendo has famously had the stance that ROMs were illegal even if you own the original cartridge. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act doesn’t explicitly state it, but it’s understood that if you own the original game, then the ROM is legal to have. Up until a few years ago it was a bad word. By now, every gamer has heard of emulation.
