Thanks for the link, Hoagie_One.  I'm glad that they also link to the reviews and manufacturer websites.  That makes it a great resource for the current generation of cards.

i thought so.  I'm thinking about selling my m3 and getting a slot-1 device

or keep it and get the slot one device so you can use opera and load gba games

I'm confused on some of the comparisons. 

1) Download play support: Except some Nintendo games (NSMB, Mario Kart,...)
Meaning, homebrew can support download play, but "aye-captn" roms cannot?

2) NDS homebrew compatibility:  ...but DLDI fixes it
I think, but is DLDI a library that is built into the homebrew .nds rom?

I noticed the M3(pre-Simply) is not in the list.  I am familiar with the M3 and it would be nice to know the differences.(eg. can M3 support download play? Is there an issue with DLDI?) I need a Slot-1 vs. Slot-2 comparison chart.

Anyone care to enlighten?

If you attempt to host a DS Download Play game off of a game located on your M3 adaptor, it will fail the RSA signature check performed on recieving Nintendo DS units and the game will not load. The recieving DS will just sit with a white screen, with a slightly greyed out Nintendo logo on the top screen.

Because the rom must be patched before the game will boot from the M3 Adaptor, the security key doesn't match up with the CRC of the origional Rom. FlashMe installed on recieving DS units alieviates this problem by removing the RSA signature checks on DS Download Play. It is theorized that if un-touched roms would boot straight from the m3 adaptor, single card multiplayer will probably work with any DS.

The host of the game does not have to have FlashMe installed, only the recievers do.
