DS Flash Equipment > Supercard and M3 - For me, what's the difference?

"For me" = For someone who just plans on playing/running homebrew stuff.

If homebrew's all you're interested in, there's always the GBAMP (which I guess you could call the M2).

jep, the GBAMP is fine for homebrew and cheep.
but if you have an (unflashed) DS with a newer firmware, a GBAMP won't work. plus, if size does matter, look at the supercard sd (yes, M3 SD is even smaller, but more expansive!).
If you're only interested in homebrew, it's a matter of size and $.
Here is the "stick out chart" http://www.samipupu.com/upload/ndslite_sticking_out.jpg
Note, that a GBAMP is the same size as a M3 CF.

My DS is already flashed, but I'm searching something else since my GBA-Flashcard is rather small.
That's a DS-Lite in that pic, yes? So it will stick out less than in that screen on my normal DS. From price of the Supercards/M3s, I'm leaning towards the Supercard SD, since I have a 1 GBit SD-Card here. Any objections?

Where could I order a Supercard SD without much shipping-cost? I'm living in Europe, Austria, and I also have a shipping-adress in Germany.

Yeah, that's a Lite. Also, be warned that a lot of homebrew doesn't support SD devices.

If you want to see an M3 in a regular DS (pretty much the same size as a GBAMP) then check this comparision NDS/DS Lite pic I made for a friend. :)

Eh, that's quite big... Compared to the Supercard, I mean. And the SC is cheaper too... Well, I think I know what I want now, I only need a place to order now.

EDIT: Hey, there's a rather small version of the M3 it seems:

Where could I get that?

EDIT: Uhrg, no I rather not get that, too expensive.
