    Default Buying a DS flash cart.

    I want to buy a ds flash cart, i can get a 2gig card here should i just get that now and look for the flash card later, i saw the EZ-Flash 5 for $35 and $33.24 and was gonna get it but it seems everyone has an R4. whats the difference? i already have a gba supercard and i love it. i think i want a bs cart that will play gba games so i can give the old one to some one. halp.

    I have the R4, but the difference is usually the price is cheaper on the R4 than the complete EZ set. I guess the firmware as well and some more minor things.

    did either of you need to FLASH your ds to use the cart?

    With the R4, there is a patch you can use, with the expansion of EZ Flash. It's probably less reliable, and that requires a DS Lite (unless you can find the PHAT version of it).

    You mean memory? Kingston 1 GB, all I had to do is drag and drop the firmware, and I got my friend a Kingston 2 GB, and it worked the same way.

    I recently got myself an M3 REAL. No problems playing either DS or GBA games.

    Yeah I got the one in the picture.

    All games are placed on the slot-1 card. Both DS and GBA. But in order to play GBA games you also need the slot-2 GBA "extension" that is bundled with the cart. And you also get a free DS rumble pack.

    EDIT: Also, no PassMe or firmware updates needed. It works instantly.

    You dont need to flash your DS itself in anyway The DS keeps intact and no harm done.

    if you already have a supercard you could just get a superkey and then you could play ds and gba games.

    ya but mine is the shitty cf to gba, so it's clunky sticking out of the ds, thanks skakidd.

    i found this... for $12, but the rebate is only until 12/29/07.

    is this the brand of choice?
