What Is SuperCard SD?

Because of the Nintendo DS̵7;s overall popularity, independent programmers have developed a wide selection of indie video games and applications for the portable device. Such software is typically not distributed in physical cartridges, but rather free of charge over the Internet. As a result, manufacturers designed the SuperCard SD as a means of accessing these games and programs through the portable console. Aside from application compatibility, the SuperCard SD hardware provides effective support for other prominent media formats.
  1. Storage

    • The SuperCard SD̵7;s main storage unit consists of an external SD card, which allows you to store a large amount of content depending on each file̵7;s size. For transfers, users must insert the SD card into a USB-based SD reader, which is typically sold separately. Alternatively, many netbook computers provide a built-in SD slot, thus eliminating the need for a third-party reader.

    General Usage

    • While other similar devices allow users to drag and drop desired games and applications into the SD card, the SuperCard SD relies on a conversion procedure to recognize such content. As the storage unit is connected to the computer, users must transfer files through a proprietary file conversion program available from the device̵7;s official homepage. All files are essentially converted into a Nintendo DS-compatible format.

    Prominent Features

    • The SuperCard SD serves as a multi-purpose device. In addition to games and applications, the unit successfully recognizes text, MP3 and video files. However, these features require a separate media application known as Moonshell, which can be transferred along with all other executable games and programs. Furthermore, the SuperCard SD enables users to save a game̵7;s progress at any time. This effectively eliminates the need for in-game check points or other forms of restricted progress tracking.

    Maintenance

    • As programmers continue to develop new and experimental software, the SuperCard SD team occasionally updates the card's firmware or its PC-based file-conversion application. New versions ensure that game compatibility remains stable by fixing or improving known bugs. Other updates may also add features not previously available.
