Slot 1 vs Slot 2 Devices

[gohan2091]

I already have a thread made because I need advice on what to buy for my DS, I have made my decision to get an M3 Lite Perfect. (but this could all change)

Anyway I have questions about slot 1/2 devices. Please tell me if the text I have written below is correct, if not, please correct me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Slot 2 devices have a flashcart (e.g M3) and a nopass device (e.g Passcard 3)
- Slot 1 devices have the flashcart and nopass device combined into 1 card (e.g M3 Simply)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Slot 2 devices can support external memory (mini SD and micro SD are 2 examples)
- Slot 1 devices can support extenal memory too (same examples as above)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Slot 2 devices have full movie and mp3 support
- Slot 1 devices also have full movie and mp3 support
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Slot 2 devices have full homebrew support (including GBA)
- Slot 1 devices have a lot of homebrew support but not complete support. Some applications do not work with slot 1 devices. It also cannot support GBA things (You all know what I mean)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So am I correct in saying having a slot 2 device boils down to whether or not you wish to have rom support? If not, a slot 1 device does virtually everything a slot 2 device can do but at a CHEAPER PRICE?

DS Link is slot 1 but doesnt act as a passcard.

DS Link is slot 1 but doesnt act as a passcard.

Very true. OK, my statements are based on the M3, so are these statements true for M3 products?

[kcajblue]

yes, they are true.

[gohan2091]

yes, they are true.

Thanks. Can anyone tell me what the M3 Simply lacks in terms of homebrew support?
