SuperCard DSOnei DSi
The Supercard DSOnei Dsi has brought with it not only the Supercard software with DSi compatibility but also a nifty hardware device which allows the bootloader to be re-flashed using a USB port. This hardware is not available with any other flash cartridge and offers assurance that the Supercard team have done their homework before releasing their chip. The Supercard team are well established and have existed since the days of GBA flash cartridges and are constantly improving the user experience by fixing bugs and adding features to their firmware. The Supercard team were also the first to implement Real Time Save in their Slot 1 products, a feature still missing from many other flash cartridges.
The Supercard DSOnei Dsi has a few main features that none of the other cards have, the first is the real time save function and this card is the first DSi card to offer that function, the other and most important one is the ability to update the SuperCards DS Onei’s core hardware firmware, this is not the same as the firmware that you copy onto the MicroSD card which you still need to do with these cards, the core hardware firmware is something that is usually programmed on the cards when they are made and is not updatable once it leaves the factory, this is where the new SuperCard DS Onei is different, they now come with a special USB hardware firmware updater that you plug the Supecard into and then into your PC’s USB slot, then it will connect to Supercards site and update the hardware firmware. Now you might be asking, why would we need to update the hardware firmware of the card, since this has not needed to be done on older Supercards used with the DS Lite etc, well the simple answer is this, with all the DSi cards, there is a chance a future firmware update for the DSi could make cards like the AceKard 2i or the Supercard DSOnei incompatible with that latest firmware update, if this happens it’s not something that can be fixed with the software you install on your MicroSD card, it would require an update of the core hardware code that is inside these cards, this is where the USB hardware updater for SuperCard DS Onei comes in, if in the event an update for the DSi is released that makes the card no longer compatible, Supercard team would be able to make a core hardware update that could make the card compatible with the latest DSi firmware and let you use your homebrew software again, all you would need to do is plug the Supercard DS Onei into your hardware updater and let it update the hardware firmware.
These cards are the ultimate solution for the DSi consoles, with more features than any other DSi card currently, turn your console into a homebrew machine, with real-time save, the best compatibility & support by far, the Supercard DSOnei will impress even the most fussy of users, all the features you would expect from a top of the line card, but at the same time the price is not to over the top as well. Supercard team have always been one of the best teams for making updates for their cards and the latest DSOnei will be no exception, you can count on regular firmware updates that will improve function and compatibility and also feel safe knowing that the core hardware firmware can be updated as well. They have an active support forum where there are many other Supercard users and members you can ask for advice or even get general tips on how to use the cards different functions and settings, they even have a skins section, if you buy the SuperCard DS Onei for your console you will not be disappointed.
