About Flash Advance cards...

Online. I live in Canada too.
The link Nightfall Z provided is good, it links to different shops so you can watch for the prices.

The set of package including the USB cable and the card is surely expensive.
Plus there are so many different kind of flashcard set.
I went into one of the site and it dazzled me eye with like 5 types of flashcard of the same purpose.

What's the difference between EZF and EZFA?
Im thinking EZFA is advanced version of EZF, duno if im right.
Also, I think EZF is one of the more common flashcard... there are a lot of different size for it.

Anyway, the regular set of 256bit card and cable is around $100+(CAD).
Not saying it's not good, but I think it's too expensive, anyone feel the same way?

This is not bad, back in the days you would pay that for a 64M (I did) but now i'm just sticking to my X-Rom from easybuy2000.com, currently at 94$ US for a 512M flash kit.
Less expensive than others.

I don't think I personally would put this on my Flash Cart. Not for fear of an irrecoverable OS, but I have used the original OS for so long, I have grown accustomed to it.

the best there is...but its not direct usb

Well, I already bought a card, andi t's minutes away from arriving... What software would you have me use for it? I've seen many but I don't know which one is the best or at least the most recommended...

[NightBlade]

Just usd the software bundled with the thing (EFA_Client), put Megaman Zero in it and it works wonders! Thing is, now I hook the card to my comp and it takes ages to load it... The program just freezes. Is this normal?

EDIT: oh wait... It came with a txt that said this:
Please charge the battery in the card by connect the card with USB cable to a power-on PC for 8 hours or more before first use.

Is this normal?

Never had either happen to me and I use an EZFA 256 and hadn't used the thing in a hell of a long time and still no charge warning.

the EZFA actually charges from the GBA's Batery

I presume you either have a diff card or it has some problems with it

Also what is this Pogoshell thing?

Basicly it's an on cart front end that gives windows looking OS and can load just about anything from it.

Personly I don't bother the EZFA GUI looks and works good enough for me and lets use a I.G.F (In Game Feature) for quiting back to the menu and for adding cheat codes to my roms.

[polobunny]

I don't use pogoshell either, X-rom menu is simple and i dont care about all the other stuff.
Boma patch 4 life. XD
