"DrBu©KA©ke®" ...

Hi,

Yeah, flashcarts are pretty cool and useful.  I have a "128Mb EZ2Powerstar"
that gets a lot of use.  I only wanted a flashcart to emulate NES, so just
with 128Mb (16MB), which is more than enough room for NES (and even Sega
Master System) emulation.  The EZ2Powerstar works great, has a GUI
bootloader already embedded, extra memory outside 128Mb for the loader, all
the expected saving functions, ect..  It uses a USB linker, which I thought
of as advantage as I intended the flashcart for use with a DS.  (The DS
doesn't have a GBA link port, so a "cable-only" linker would not work.)

Yeah, there are flashcarts that go up to 512Mb (64MB), 1024Mb (128MB), and
even 2048Mb (256MB).  I don't know if it still the case, but once you hit
512Mb (64MB), they start becoming very expensive.  For those unfamiliar with
flashcarts, they are measured in MegaBITS, not MegaBYTES, hence the use of
double numbers above.  I.e., DrBu's "256Mb (megabits) Flash Advance Pro" has
32MB (MegaBytes) of memory.  You simply multiply the file sizes of your
ROM's (as they are on your PC) by eight to determine how many ROM's you can
flash.

This was the site that was most useful when I was researching/deciding upon
various carts:

I bought it from Jandaman, based upon Jandaman's excellent record on
"Reseller Ratings" and also from many others said about them in here.

If you are looking for a bigger cart (32MB isn't big enough?), then there is
also something else out there now that is extremely cool and very cost
effective.  Its called a Supercard and is simply just a little interface
that allows standard Compact Flash memory cards to be used as a "flashcart"
for the GBA/DS!   Use it with a cheap 512MB CF card and you would have
yourself a 4096Mb flashcart!  Everyone that has gotten one of these seems to
be very happy with it.  I plan on getting one myself, simply so that I can
transfer ALL of my GBA cartridges over to it and be able to have my entire
GBA collection (along with NES/SMS emulation) on one simple cartridge, with
buckets of memory space still left for playing around with media (audio,
e-books, ect).  No more carrying multiple carts everwhere.
