    Couldn't help but chuckle at the lack of GBA support. Not sure if they removed it due to hardware limitations or if they just flat out gave up on it XD

    On a serious note, they probably just don't have it because it needs to act as a GBA cart for the rumble to work, so they had to remove GBA support to pull it off. Bit of an unfortunate trade-off...

    gba support is over rated in my opinion. I got a DS lite for DS games and DS homebrew personally, so no GBA support is fine with me.

    GBA support might not be as important as we think. If it was, there wouldn't be DS only versions of other flash carts and adapters. The M3 Pro and EZIV Lite Compact come to mind.

    Personally speaking I have about 8 GBA games, but I hardly ever play them. I have a few GBA roms on my mini-SD card but they never get played.. except for pokemon but I haven't played that in a while now

    I personally don't see much need for the rumble features, plus it's just another thing that will drain the DS' battery, which the supercar is already good at doing ¬_¬

    There are a few GBA games I like to whip out every once in a while.

    Gunstar Superheroes, Metal Slug, Drill Dozer, Megaman Zero...
