I was looking on ebay for a supercard and saw this

It claims to have a RTC in it as well as 100% support for all GBA games. They claim no more freeze ups or incompatability when running it off a CF or SD card.
I figured the day would come when they would make it work right. I have been looking at one of these for a few weeks. I just got a GBM a couple weeks ago and ended up buying a EZF card. But being the noob that I was I didnt read into it farther to notice it was only rating them in MegaBITS instead of Bytes. Here I was epxecting a card that I could load 20+ GBA games on as well as my nes emu. Boy was I surprized when it told me I was out of memory after only 3 games where on it!!!
SO I started looking at the SUPERCARDS. I have a bunch of 128mb and 256 mb SD cards lying around. So I figured it would be perfect. But then I was reading about the incomatibility problems. I figured I would get a card and just wait for firmware updates that fixed the problems. then I found the card above!
So from what I would guess. This card will have a 128 mbit flash rom on it. It would then just use the SD or CF card as a storage location. When you go to run the game it would unpack it to the temp rom location to run it. So the system should think its running a genuine game and not even care about the 256 mb card I have in it.
This is what I believe the older card did in the first place that had all the problems.
ANyway Has anybody tried one of these yet? Or are they looking at getting one? I was thinking of getting one anyway. But would like to hear if anyone else knows about them any more??
oh, And I am new to this forum.
