Still need to look up those cases. I think it's against the law to use these cartridges to store/play DS carts that you don't own. Some people think the entire Supercard is "illegal" but I suspect this is a misnomer.
It's interesting that you mention the iPad. It's one of my pet hates so I won't get started on it here. But studying this page (everything you always wanted to know about the DSTWO but were afraid to ask) told me which CPU it uses.
Quote:
Q: What's the clockspeed of the DSTwo? A: It uses the Dingoo's a320 cpu which is the Ingenic JZ4732. The standard clockspeed is 360 mhz, but the supercard team could have easily overclocked it to 433 mhz or underclocked it, the clockspeed can also be changed by homebrew developers who are using the DSTwo SDK.
That CPU (Chinese) has some relationship with CopyLeft hardware. Led me onto this.

That little thing is entirely an open sourced, no royalties, no patents design. Very cheap for some company to clone for manufacture. We will soon be seeing the days when this kind of approach will be used to make open devices for games/emulation. CPU's will be made to order .. straight from the MAME code that documents the micro-circuitry. Can you imagine a custom chip with all the arcade board chips on there ready to run ROMS ?
