Awesome. Worth the time it took to set up.
Works great. As others pointed out it's a bit tricky to set up, you need to convert the rom files with the super card program from their website (which is kind of buggy itself. Don't try to convert too many files at once. I did 20 at a time), then group them into folders on the SD card. Everything I read said you need to keep each folder under 65 roms, so that's what I did.My one complaint is that the photos of this product made me think it came with a micro SD card, it does not. Make sure you order a 2 gb card when you purchase this. I did not order a card, and everything I read said that this will not accept a card larger than 2 gb, which is quite hard to find in a physical store these days.All of that aside, it works wonderfully once it is set up. I bought this as a gift and will purchase one for myself soon. It arrived early, and in great condition. If you're still reading this, stop, just buy the thing.

!! Counterfeit !!
THIS IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC SUPERCARD. The printing on the box and card label look blurry like they're photocopied. The plastic of the card feels a little cheap but I don't have an authentic SuperCard MiniSD to compare it to. The battery soldered to the board is a non-rechargeable lithium cell, not the li-ion rechargeable found in the real product.Most importantly, the circuit board is assembled VERY cheaply and there was plenty of flux residue left on the board. As shipped it would not work with ROMs over 4 MB. As it turned out, there was a tiny metal shaving or solder hair bridging two pins on one of the chips. Cleaning it carefully with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol fixed it. After cleaning, it does work with the largest ROMs, so at least they used the correct components apart from the cheaper battery.I'd give 4 stars if it were a real SuperCard MiniSD, but recommend the more compatible EZ-Flash IV instead if you can find one.

Cartridge does work, but don't push it in all the way
Overall the card does what it is supposed to do. The documentation on this product is pretty bad but you can generally get the gist of how to use it from a quick google search. I realized that the card CAN play gameboy color games but I have yet to figure out how to get the GB and GBC games to save.The reason why I knocked off a star is because of the quality of the cartridge. Overall it's pretty good except for the fact that the copper contact points on the board are too close to the edge of the cartridge, so if you push the cartridge all the way in, THE SOFTWARE WON'T LOAD. It took me hours of stress to figure out why the card wasn't working. I was about to give up and return it until I gave that theory a try. I basically pushed the cartridge in but not all the way, just enough for the cartridge to stick out slightly. And to my surprise, the thing worked and I was extremely relieved.Hope that tip helps someone out there because I've been through a bunch of forums and none of them mentioned that flaw.

great for gba lovers
This flash card works very well. You can play tons of gba games from roms you download online but from time to time you will find a buggy game then just download it from another site. with this flash card you can't drop and play the games you have to use an app you download here http://eng.supercard.sc/soft_minisd.htm after you install on computer its very easy to use. Open super card icon then just click on add then find the gba file you downloaded then click out and your file will be ready then add it to your micro sd card and your ready to play. Now when you play you can't save and turn it off,you have to press select+L+R+A or B then it will say to save you press yes and it will save but here's the annoying thing when you want to play the game again, you have to click on the rom again begin to play from the start, then press select+L+R+A or B then click on the load and it will load where you left off. Even do you have to do some extra steps with this gba flash card you can play alot of games and save money too,its a win win thing.

This cart works...but not perfectly.
While it isnt hard to figure things out, you'd have to be mentally challenged to think you could get this working out of box without some kind of research...The card comes with no instructions aside from "plug the mini SD into the SuperCard 2) plug the supercard into your GBA/DS 3) turn on..what you do need to know is that your SDmicro needs to be formated, and you need to update the firmware on the supercard itself.follow these instructions on this site and you should be fine.[...apparently links arent allowed, even if they are links to instructions] google : "How_to_install_the_SuperCard"it should be the first link that shows up,As mentioned in a previous post, the software is buggy crap.,, and really old. it will come up with errors if you dont make sure the app is set to XP compatibility.. aside from that, if you are running windows7 64bit.. I get zero errors when I run the app as an administrator. (right click the exe, run as admin.)as for the card itself, its a mixed back. I used to have an EZ-Flashcart2 back in the day, and aside from it having a small capacity (128megs) it ran every game flawlessly.The Supercard on the other hand is ripe with slowdown and graphic issues. even some of the NES games wont play properly. While which games work and which don't seems to be random. I did detect a pattern. At first I thought it was any game that too advantage of the GBA effects, like scaling, and mode7. Warioland4 and mariokart play terribly and it seemed like it was the effects that attributed to this. But games made towards the end of the GBAs life work fine. Even ones with tons of effects. So my guess is older games just wont work well, or at all with this card. So it's definitely a bummer that theres a 50/50 chance your favorite game wont work.Also keep in mind, that the buggy software will sometimes Fail to patch a game, but that doesn't mean the game won't play. It simply means you can't use the cards features and you are stuck having to reboot the system. So I suggest try it.. Ive also come across some games that patched successfully only to not play at all.overall, for the price it does a decent job. but its definitely not great. and I have a feeling even the new cards made by E-Z flash will have similar problems. Using a micro SD, might be the issue.. Id suggest, getting a "MINI" SD card and bypass that really cheaply made adapter. better yet, if you could find a flashcart2.. and dont need to have your WHOLE library on the go. that at least flashes all the games directly on to the cartridge which raises compatibly with games to about 99%...I'd say supercard compatibility is more like 65%
