Here is what I ideally hope to find but will obviously settle for less if some aren't possible:
1) Room for more than 1 GBA rom. I'd like to be able to store at least 3 if it's at all possible. This way here if I feel like bringing my GBA on a trip instead of the DS I can still carry a few favorite games without having a bunch of cartridges to carry.
2) MUST be connectable to a computer. If there is a card with the option of using either a USB cable or perhaps a removable micro/mini SD card to allow data transfer via my laptop, that is what I need.
3) Recommendations on where to buy said GBA flash card. The site I bought my AceKard 2i from appears to be gone now (lucky I used PayPal
)4) This is somewhat unrelated to the flash card but not really. I need a new device to rip my games and saves, my old device won't connect to my laptop because it, my laptop, lacks the connection port that my old desktop had. Is there a device to rip GB & GBAgames/saves that connects via USB?
Thanks for any helpful idea anyone can give, I like to ask as many questions as I can before making a purchase of something like a flash card cause last time I bought one on a whim it was the Datel MAX Media Dock which was a waste of $40 lol.
Some ones think that Supercard dstwo is the best flashcart hands down. It has extra features such as SNES/GBA emulation. and it has more than emulation. The DSTwo has save-state, in-game cheat toggling, in-game text reading etc.
I have both slot one and slot two devices; the slot one supercard DS2 is in my opinion best for DS play as GBA emulation is experimental.
The Slot two Supercard sd can be used to run DS software, ds games must be patched however! Slot two loads GBA roms without emulating them using firmware (No longer being updated) to load data via sd card as if the sd card were a real GBA cart.
Most gba games load on the supercard sd, some may not.
As far as The DsTwo goes I have one of the first DsTwo's ever made if you treat it right it will treat you right.
DSTwo Pros.
SDHC storage (I'm using a 32GB class 10 Samsung)
Emulators are younger then Slot two firmware.
99.999999% of the NDS games run at full speed.
Gba games are emulated, most run but speed varies.
DSTwo cons
Some cards are just bad some will work until the cows come home but others may work for 5 mins. (I have used over 4 cards and never had any of them quit.)
Gba roms are emulated not read as real game's.
Some consider the cards plastic cheep.
Slot two supercard sd Pros.
Most gba games run good. Some that will not run are the Super mario games.
Can be used in a GBA, NDS or a NDSL.
Can be used to archive Slot one ds games with homebrew software (that I will not mention here).
Can run DS games but that is a pain and it sucks the battery dry in a few short hours.
Slot two cons.
Non SDHC, 2GB limit!
Can run DS games but that is a pain and it sucks the battery dry in a few short hours.
If used on a ds for ds games/software, the ds must have it's firmware upgraded; a good firmware to use is Flashme8a.
