    Obviously the M3 is the product of choice but it looks a little pricey. You can get a supercard CF for really cheap now and I've already got a CF reader for a digital camera. Is there anything terribly wrong with the supercard? Can you still run everything like LinuxDS on it?

    Also I have a Lite so just curious if anybody knows how big it is, does it stick out like 2 inches or just a bit?

    It'll stick out quite a bit on the DS Lite. Two inches wouldn't surprise me.

    If you're thinking about getting a Supercard, just get an EZIV Lite. Otherwise, save up a bit for a M3 or a G6 Lite.

    It looks like for the EZIV Lite you need to use either the EZPass or EZPass2, both of these are rather bulky items right?
    I want to be able to use something like the Passcard3 in the DS slot, something the same size as a DS cart.
    I'm a bit confused on which passme devices are compatable with which adaptors(gba slot devices).

    Passcard3 and Superkey both work with the EZIV Lite when using the latest launcher updates. My younger brother uses a SuperKey with his EZIV Lite. I myself use FlashMe since it's a relativily safe procedure on the older DS.

    I keep reading that the EZIV isn't supporting homebrew yet but I suppose that will come in time.
    I guess you've sold me on it though, but I can't find a website that has any. I can only find a few sites though could you give me some ideas where to get it?

    I got it from WINSUNX. If you don't mind using PayPal and replying to a couple of e-mails, then I suggest ordering from them. Also, they have low prices but the shipping is high. So if you only order one or two things the low prices won't make it too much cheaper by the time you check out.

    Ok, one last question! :)
    Winsunx has two EZIV Lites listed, one is MiniSD and one is MicroSD. I'm wondering if they have mislabeled? Does the EZIV Lite come in both MiniSD and MicroSD, or is only the MicroSD the one which fits flushly? I can't tell from their descriptions.

    Nevermind I think I answered my own question, they show pictures of the so called EZIV Lite MiniSD at the bottom, looks like it fits into a regular DS - it's not so much Lite!

    Thanks for all your help :)

    Yeah, you'll want the EZIV Lite microSD (aka transflash). I have an EZIV miniSD and my brother has the EZIV Lite microSD, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
