SuperCard Review

Introduction:

The SuperCard is unlike any other flash card on the market. As stated on the cartridge itself, it is a CF (Compact Flash) to GBA adapter. Being classed as an adapter it certainly isolates itself from the rest of the flashcart market. The SuperCard works so differently that there are various different factors to consider that you wouldn’t normally have to when buying a ‘normal’ flashcart.

SuperCard SD Review

Introduction



There has been quite a lot said about the SuperCard: some of it was about how it was great, some of it was about its slowdowns, and there has also been some more said. It comes from China, and is in fact not really a flash cart like many might think, but more of an adapter for memory sticks. It was first made for Compact Flash, and has recently seen a revision for Secure Digital, or just SD for short. Since this kind of memory is quite cheap, it allows people to have a development/backup kit without having to shell out a lot of cash all at once. And since the capacity ranges from quite small to rather huge, there's a size for everyone: while some may not play many games at once and would be perfectly fine with 128MB, some also love the idea of putting music, movies, or simply huge loads of games on a 1 GB card. The whole concept is really nice, offering such a device for a cheap price, which will work with a widespread, cheap and small storage format. However the biggest problem about it is in this same concept: the internal memory is cheap, and sometimes gives slowdowns...
