OK, I think I'm getting somewhere now. Following on from what you've said one of my colleagues has an SD card that is full of GBA games that he plays in his DS via a Supercard.

So, if I want to do the same as him, what supercard do I need? Your saying there's new software that lets me get rid of the superpass. Which supercard has this on it and where do I buy the supercard your talking about?

Sorry, I was having a brain fart this morning Supercard is used to play GBA and DS games via a SD card.
The supercard itself doesn't have the software on it, you have to get that seperately then you have to take the back off the DS and short it inside then press a sequence of keys. (or something like that, not 100% sure, just watched someone do it)
If your friend has a supercard then I'd ask them where to get it from as I'm not sure where to point you to get it from.

I found a cheap solution is:

Max Media Launcher (Nintendo DS) (Datel) £9.99 if you look around - this fools the DS into booting into DS mode, but then tells it to look in the GBA slot for data.

Max Media Dock (Datel) (Nintendo DS) - this slots into the GBA slot and takes a compact flash card £17.99

Plus a compact flast card to fit in the media dock- about £13.99 for 1 gig

So about £40 quid all in. I have this to play all the monkey island and SCUMM related games on!!

Hi judosteffer. The max media stuff you mention looks real good. Much easier than having to mess around with a super pass key to get the supercard up and running for first timers.
Can you tell me how much the media dock sticks out from the bottom of the DS? I have a supercard and it doesn't stick out too much but might get one of these instead if they stick out even less or not at all.

It curves round the back of the ds - it takes a compact flash card so if your supercard is the sd version I reckon your one might be smaller already.
