Reccomended GBA Flash Carts?

Couldn't resist today when I saw the GBA NES edition for $99.99 CAD at FutureShop.ca with free shipping so I bought it. ^_^

I'm interested in the emus, homebrews etc, and would liek to buy a flash cart but have no idea which ones are good, what features to look for etc.

I've had poor experiences with HK retailers aside from the LikSang, PlayAsia etc, (who dont carry flash carts) so I'd prefer to buy from within North America.

Is this one any good? :

Any reccomendatiosn ae much welcome.

 

Erm...has some reason as to why no one replied here completley gone over my head? I'm not interested in downloading legit GBA games, I'm interested in homebrew and emus. Any help welcome; I tried Google, yes, but any discussions I have go over my head in terms of describing what cart does better at what.

 

maybe because it is like igniting a firecracker we do not like to reply

 

This isnt gamefaqs. Most people here dont tolertate piracy ( am not saying you are a pirate) or research it. Just my five cents. :smt033

 

Read above, 'koolkid'. I specifically stated that I have no interest in using a flash cart for piracy. No need for your rant on gamefaqs and that we do not condone piracy; that is obvious and understood without your obvious need to announce it, thanks.

I figured if PS2 HDLoader questions are acceptable than this should be as well. I am hardly throwing a general whining flame as to why no one replied. There are legit uses for a GBA flash cart and they have been brought up numerous times in these forums, and asking for advice on GBA flash carts hardly consitutes 'researching piracy'. Please.

 

Get it!! That's the cheapest I've seen it.

 

Maybe there just isnt much difference between GBA flash cards? Or maybe the pros/cons of the various brands are not as apparent? The absence of a factual reply from yours truly stems from my complete lack of experience on the subject.

 

I know that some GBA companies use Visoly cards sometimes, so if you want to start there you have a good reference for sure. Let me know if you can get Sack of Flour running.

 

If you want the top of the line, Flash2Advance Ultra 1G would be the way to go. Its good to see Bung at work.

 

I would recommend the EFA (http://www.kicktrading.ca)...

Please excuse my post. I had just woken up and didnt remember who you were. You are that person at DreamcastHistory arent you?

 

I'd recommend any of the Flash2Advance carts 512 mb or more is recommended if your going to do a lot of homebrewn or emulating.

 

EFa units are very easy to use, and you can see photos, videos, and texts with proper aplications. Besides, you can get with you a nes, sms,gg, pcengine or speccy in your pocket
P.S: EZ II power star unit also has a good feedback in users.

 

F2A consumes less power and has real time saving!

 

Ezflash has just released its third version, which incorporates Pogoshell's idea and now will have capacity up to 8Gbit(1GB) :smt067

Wow, you guys are great. Much thanks for all the advice, though some of it did go over my head.

Is the flash cart I posted a link to above recommendable in any case, function and price-wise?

 

As i said in my last post, take EZ II power star or EFA in that shop. This ones are very good, with simple flash software, low power consumption and good support with software updates.

 

Shiggsy: sorry for going offtopic but you got a great website

and i never got a reply (from an old email i send to you)

Oh right, I thought that e-mail was a joke...but Thanks
