I saw the picture that 5thElement ^^, posted of M3L and how it sits in the DSL, and I want my DSL to look perfect even with something in it. Now, seeing that the M3L sticks out a bit and SCL sits perfectly in. Can SCLite run all the current homebrew/roms/apps? If it can then Im gonna buy a SCL

BTW, whats the difference between SuperKey and PassCard3? Since I see that SuperKey is included with SCL

Please look around before posting as there is a post just above yours titled, "Complete Guide to Homebrew and Flashcarts on the DS!" It explains everything on all flashcart products and will help you make a choice.

The SuperCard team has always been better with homebrew than M3 while they have better GBA performance. I'm not going to say anymore as its all in the guide.

How much is Supercard team paying you to pimp their stuff? Almost EVERY post I've seen from you quotes the godammed Supercard!

If they want to start paying me I'd be happy to take it from them but in reality the SuperCard products are the cheapest and the best. The SuperCard Lite performs better than even the G6 Lite IMO, with high speed microSD SanDisk Ultra II. If you want a great flashcart then pick an SuperCard, M3 or, G6.

Despite all of fifthelements praising of the flashcart, I still wouldn't feel good buying the SCL, That's why I'm going with the G6. Although it doesn't have a tf slot, it does fit the most flush out of the current carts that our out. Not to mention great ds and gba support, and even though it doesn't have a tf slot, it still is a decent size.

The G6 Lite is a great flashcart but has problems with a slow clunky menu, only 512MB of memory, saves are starting to corrupt, and its pricey.

The SuperCard Lite always gets a bad rap for bad GBA but its less than 10% of the games in reality. And most prefer the front loading too BTW. ;)

If I were you I would at least wait for the M3 Lite if you're a fan of PERFECT GBA GOTTA HAVE IT FOR TWICE THE MONEY, LOL, j/k. ;)

Well, although money isn't that much of a problem for me, I'm still looking for the best prices, that's why I'm ordering from winsunx. Also, the M3L doesn't fit flush, though it's oh-so-close. Furthermore, If you check the G6L post I made in the G6 section, the bad saving problems seem to be isolated cases, return your product and you should get one that works perfectly fine. The only thing that I see as a con for the G6L is the internal memory issue, and the price, and the so-so homebrew support. Though I'm sure you could figure some more stuff, seeing as how you're more educated in flashcarts than I am.

Thats why I made a comparison chart for all of the Lite flashcarts and all of the new models! You can compare features with pros and cons for each and every flashcart out and coming soon!

I don't really think a G6 Lite is much more expensive than a SCL + high speed 512mb card. And if what you get for the maybe 10-20 dollars more is peace of mind as regards GBA games, that sounds like a good deal to me. Not to mention that SCLs have a reputation for being thicker and harder to insert/remove than G6 Lites.

I don't think the G6 Lite menu is very "clunky" either. It's graphical, scrolls as fast as you could possibly need it to, and starts the games. What more should a menu do?

Most of the con's you listed I asked about in this thread I made about the G6L.

- Lite version is available in different colors but there's no guarantee what you'll get in the box. : Most responded that they got all color cases, others didn't answer at all

- Slow writing speed. : Some said quick, some said good, that's fine with me.

- Corruption is starting to appear in many users G6 Lites rendering saves unusable. : See Falkentyne's post. He start's out with,"I've done *everything* under the sun to get my GBA saves erased, and failed." Seems to me the save system is fine, for the most part.

The G6 seems like a good choice for anyone who wants something for the meantime while waiting for a flush fitting TF solution to come out.
