Before you ask, I have searched but as you can see it's quite a difficult subject to think of search keywords for.

I'm going to buy that, which will cover playing movies, MP3s, DS backups and some homebrew.

However, the R4 has little compatibility with NES/SNES/Genesis emulators, and can't play GBA backups either.

What I'd like to know is, what's a good slot 2 card (lite) to supplement that? I'd be using it 99% for playing backups of NES, SNES and Genesis, and a few GBA backups as well (not much though - I never really bought many GBA games and only have a couple).

So, Slot 2 card that runs retro games well and gets regular updates for those emus - and is Lite. Recommendations, please? So far, I think that a Supercard Lite seems to be a good option but I'd like to hear some opinions on M3 slot 2 devices as well, and others too. All help greatly appreciated, thanks :)

PS - I'd prefer an adapter rather than a flashcard - even better, one that runs off SD rather than Micro SD (but this is secondary to good emulation support)

I'd suggest the M3 Perfect Lite, although its rather expensive (http://www.gameyeeeah.com/m3-perfect-microsd-lite-adapter-p-31.html).

If you want something a little cheaper, then the Supercardlite will do although it can't play GBA games that well and updates arent as frequent as M3.

Thankyou :) Also, is there any point getting an R4 and a Supercard Lite, or should I just get a Supercard Lite and use a NoPass or smething, saving me a fair amount of cash? The only advantage I can think of is that I'll be able to hold twice as many MicroSD cards...

EDIT: Thanks for your help - I have decided to get the R4 + Supercard Lite since I'll be able to hold two micro SD cards and have more compatibility overall.
