This is great news. Real time save is a major advancement in slot 1 technology. I predicted months ago that the Supercard team would be the first to support such a feature.

2007.12.05 - This Day is a day to remember for the Supercard team and all Supercard DSONE users. New DSONE OS v3.0 has been released worldwide.  OS v3.0 provides a new dream function as a special Christmas gift. It’s RealTime Save! Anytime, anywhere, anyway, DS games can be saved and loaded in realtime. This feature is a first in the DS scene,  proof of the dedication and talent of the Supercard team, and testimony to a wonderful device. This dream function is for all DSONE/DSONE(SDHC) old and new users. Just download OS v3.0 and upgrade.

OS v3.0 includes FOUR dream functions:
1. RealTime Save (exclusive). The ONLY one which supports RealTime Save.
2. RealTime Cheat Code. Can turn ON/OFF in the game at anytime.
3. RealTime Game Guide (exclusive). Can switch in Game Guide screen and game playing screen.
4. Multi-save (exclusive). Can support multiple save files for a single game.

Whats new?
1. Added Real Time Save function.
Note: (Need to select the “Real Time Save” option from patch mode, OS will create a real time save file about 5M, please make sure the flash memory has enough space.)
2. Fixed ROM 0908 can not open cheat code menu problem.
3. Updated the patch database to 1728.
4. Updated the save type database to 1728.
5. Added real time save version in ABOUT window, so players can confirm the file is the same version when exchanging real time save files.
Note: (Real time save file of different version games are incompatible.)
6 Updated the SuperKey.NDS, fixed booting slot 2 problem which cause GBA display issue.

Sounds like a good idea.

Too bad my DS is currently charging, I can't test out the new RTS feature. Though I've heard it takes a couple of seconds for the RTS and it consumes 5mb of space?

Anybody have any thoughts or comments?

[Shinster]

Will slot 2 get this eventually?

I think RTS is a great idea. Supercard team are the first to implement this feature for DS games. I'm sure other slot 1 card brands will have this feature eventually. It was a must have feature for GBA games. I think it will be a must have feature for DS games too. I can think of at least a few games that would benefit from this starting with Lost Magic, games that are fun and challenging yet have terrible checkpoints. I hate having to go back to the same checkpoint over and over again.

Sounds like a good idea.

It will consume 5 Mbit not 5 Mbyte so that is only a 625K file.  It takes a little longer the first time the file is created.

Will slot 2 get this eventually? 

I doubt it. Maybe?

I was wrong. RTS creates a 5MB file.  The SC website posted 5M and that reads 5Mbit to me.  I guess it makes sense RTS would need to backup all 4MB of DS RAM plus some registers and stuff.

I can tell you RTS does not work with every game I've tested. Sometimes there are minor sound or screen glitches. Sometimes it will crash.  It depends on the game. Castlevania DoS worked and COD4 didn't.  Also it takes about 20 seconds to create a save point and about 5 seconds to restore using my Kingston 2GB microSD (Japan).

[bitblt]

Castlevania DoS worked and COD4 didn't.

I got COD4 to work sometimes by going into the menu first.

[jmr]

ive added a RTS section on the sccheats wiki if you would like to add what games are working or not
save size & RTS list

im going to get it filled in in the next few days cause ive only got the first 100 & the last 100 done so far

[kkan]

hmmmm even if it IS 5Mb saves then surely for multiple saving and using a SDHC card it would a) be worth it and b) if you have a massive card then 5mb is nothing 

[saady87]

why dont the fix the cheat menu
