Supercard Rumble vs. Lite Newb Questions

Post by The Hypnotist »

I'm a newb so plese bare with me.

I'm going to be getting a supercard soon for my DS lite, and I want to know if I should get the cheaper Supercard Lite Rumble, or the more expensice Supercard Lite...

I know I can't run GBA, and SNES and all that jazz on the rumble but that's not too big of a deal for me... it's not 30 bucks worth it for me... (however dreamcast is...)

However I need to know, are there homebrew programs or scummVM stuff I can't run on the rumble, if so can you list them, or just tell me which supercard should I get, should I go all out....?

I really want stuff like Doom, DSQuake, and AIM for the DS, ScummVM stuff all that, but if the supercard rumble doesn't work for those then plese tell me because I'll pay the extra money...

I also want to know if I should get a 1GB or 2GB SD card. How much space is the average DS game?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I really appericate any help. Sorry I'm a major newb, if this is the wrong place to ask this question can you plese tell me a place where I can get these questions answered. Thanks

I would get the Lite. The rumble doesn't have any extra RAM which can be made use of in DSQuake, and perhaps by ScummVM at some time in the future.

Although, the Supercard does tend to be a bit unreliable. I would go for an M3 Lite instead, if I were you.

You will be able to fit plenty of ScummVM and homebrew on a 1Gb card without problems.
