I want to start using Homebrew so I am going to buy either an M3 pro bundle or a Supercard SD Bundle from RealHotstuff.

Now i would rather buy the M3 pro because its cheaper but i know there's no GBA support so i was wondering if any programs have been made that can solve this. Also when it says Slim SD, is it the same as Normal SD?

So is it worth paying extra for a Supercard SD to avoid any troubles?

There is no way to run GBA games without that RAM, so no additional programs will fix it. If you want GBA support, get either an M3 Perfect (very expensive) or the Supercard bundle you listed. The problem is that the Supercard has some slowdowns due to slower RAM, so you may want to check a compatibility list online before purchasing anything. For DS homebrew though, both cards would work about the same.

I personally have a Supercard MiniSD, and I've been satisfied with it.

It might be cheaper to just get the device and passthrough and then buy an SD card at a local store. RHS seems to be charging an extra $30 for a 1 GB card, and I know you can get larger cards for a cheaper price if you look for sales. I personally got a 2 GB miniSD card for $20 on Black Friday.

If you have a Superkey, no you don't need to flash your DS. But if you want the best GBA compatibility I'd suggest getting the M3 Perfect, I use one and it's great.
