As a proud new owner of a shiny DS Lite, I have yet to decide on a method for developing homebrew (with all the crazy combinations of NoPass, Supercards, etc). I've been lurking for a couple days and out of all the possible combinations, the M3 DS Simply seems to be the easiest and most reasonable solution.
Any thoughts from the seasoned pro's of NDS development?

The name screams Engrish. It won't be able to run any homebrew that has an appended filesystem like GBFS. Anything that tries to save to GBA SRAM won't be able to save. It has no RAM, so it's not great for dslinux or viewing extremely large images with moonshell or running large Genesis games. Anything that uses a FAT library will need to be updated. They say they will release source code when the product is out, hopefully that's true. SC DS One already has usable FAT code.
DS homebrew will slowly start becoming more compatible with slot 1 devices, so it's not a bad purchase but don't expect to be able to run all existing homebrew.

So what you're saying is that homebrew that isn't supported yet, could be supported in the future?
The things I was most interested in was the mp3, movie, and picture capability as well as being able to run something like DSorganize. It's also pretty neat how you can back up games, which means you don't have to carry all your cartridges with you and risk losing them.
Still, I'm going to wait for some reviews of the M3 DS Simply before I make the investment.

Pretty much any card can do the things you described. I would still recommend a slot 2 card for maximum compatibility.

M3 DS simply will work fine with homebrew, they release a fatlib for it.

How's homebrew compatibility?
If you could run a quick test of a few popular ones, say:
Beup, dslinux, dsdoom, NESDS, DS Organize, MoonShell, MegaETK
and anything else you want.

Well, he must recompile anything that uses FAT with a new driver (if there is any).

I heard the M3 DS Simply is a clone of the R4, so you can try with the R4 libfat driver.
