This recent thread about Supercard performance has been under attack from forum members (including myself) trying to figure out the difference in battery drainage between flashcarts.
Namely the Supercard and whether it sucks more juice than others.
I currently own an M3 and will be getting (winsunx prevailing) a Supercard mini-SD and EZ4-Lite delivered next week.
I plan to film these carts in operation on my DS Lite to observe the difference in battery usage.
I'm going to use a PS2 eyetoy as a webcam hooked up to my computer to record the time it takes for the DS to shut off.
At least that's the plan.
Does anyone know of some software that I can use to capture the webcam image? I hope to use something that will allow recording at a low framerate, like 1 FPS.
Also can anyone advise me as to what I should run on the DS's to test with? I was planning to leave a game intro on loop, but don't know what game.
The plan is to test only the difference between battery suckage on the carts I have, with the DS I have. I am willing to repeat the tests on my other two DS's if that is of interest.
I'm not looking to tell others what there flashcart / DS combo will do. I'm sure there will be differences.
I'm open to all suggestions though. If you are interested in the comparison let me know what you think would work.
