This is the setup I have, an M3 simply in my slot-1 and an m3lite in my slot-2. The M3 simply on loading can also be used to boot slot-2 via the menu choice- for gba gaming.Quote:

The rumble feature of the SCR series is a joke. It only works on the Metroid Pinball rom as far as I know, which you must patch with a special patch file before using. And then it only rumbles when you press a button, not when the game would normally rumble. So yeah, don't buy it for that.
If you're interested in getting an EZ Flash V, they have recently introduced a slot-2, 3-in-1 addon that has support for GBA binaries, official game rumble, and Opera browser support. You must use it with the slot-1 EZ Flash 5 though.
Good advice Dan, I had looked at the EZ Flash 5, was just a little bummed out at the price, and also the fact that I didn't need an entire solution after the purchase of the M3 Simply. I ended up getting a SC Rumble Lite, it is supposed to be much better with the latest firmware on it having official support with all but one game I think...
It was cheap ($25) and it was free shipping because of the other things ordered (WiiKey and component cables for $10) so I guess if it sucks too hard, I will just give it to a friend that would really only use it to play GBA backups... He hates having his risk cart sticking out of the bottom of his DS.
Kind of excited as the SC lite rumble is coming in Navy Blue though, not sure any other card out there is available in that color.
When they added rumble support, they removed GBA support. This is mostly why the Supercard Rumble series is so much cheaper than the regular versions.
So basically, if you don't have a DS, or if you have a DS but don't have a passthrough device, the Supercard Rumble is completely useless. I know you can use the M3 Simply as a NoPass for it though.
Ah.. That blows... lol... Ohh well, I guess I've learned more expensive lessons... Thanks for the tip.
Does this mean then that it cannot play GBA games at all? And remember this is the lite version, I thought they had retained GBA on that model. I have a M3 Simply so the pass issue is covered
All versions of the Rumble series cannot play GBA games at all. The SCL is not exempt from this.
The Supercard Lite introduced slightly faster RAM for better GBA compatibility, but the Supercard Lite Rumble still has no GBA compatibility whatsoever.
