WOAH ! myself

$99....



need to wait a bit before I can buy one.
everdrives have always had a premium price, no exception on the EDGBA. One can safely assume that the build quality (especially of the case itself) will be 1000 times better than the EZFlash for example. Plus no need for parching the roms, a working rtc.... premium features cost premium money. i myself will probably not get one at all, though.

Actually 99 + 6 = 105. not 115.
The $6 is only an estimate/placeholder, until you sign in and enter your shipping address, when it shows the actual shipping price for your location.

Obviously the shipping price 6 USD to any country.
However if your country charges you with additional 10 USD for receiving packages... But I haven't heard that Hong Kong post service does anything like that.

I was on a short vacation! I'm back now ;)

On more important news, our sample should be with us soon!
12 days later i am so excited...

i would love to have one but my gba stuff is forgotten on the closet

btw to all the people talking about solar sensor...
if it had any features like solar sensor or rumble it would be listed on the features\specs...
come on, in the store it says "low power consumption" and you think they would forget to include a big feature like that?

one of the reasons it's bulky its the easily replaceable battery (and lack of use the back of the pcb)
what the hell means the X5?

I don't, however I do have to point out that if a GBA flash cart featured it then it got mentioned. There were plenty of GBA flash carts doing things here as this was around the time 3.3V and lower logic got common/cheaper.

i meant, if it had solar sensor, i don't believe they would forget to advertise it...
"low consumption mode" is a generic seller sentence..
so i was "bitching" about how people ever thought it could have a solar sensor without being advertised on the specs..

did anyone tested pokemon romhacks for example pokemon glazed or gaia with it? when the hack compatiblity is near to 100% this would be an awesome flashcard.

It is a legitimate selling point, I don't know quite how much these days but during the GBA lifetime and within the flash carts there it was. It could also be that they deliberately picked lower power chips rather than their usual beefy FPGA and such ways of doing things.

Unlike the NES and SNES and N64 and such I don't think I have ever seen an emulator only ROM hack for the GBA, give or take however you want to feel about lua scripts which is not the same thing. Worst case scenario is probably if the patch makers included a clock fix patch and you have to then lose it as you support RTC. I have not seen that though in released ROM hacks, and only once for a flash cart specific place (so maybe android emulators that might lack such functionality in the modern world might play it similar).

My sample is stuck in the post, but I'll gladly test those when I receive it.
i had a pokemon hack unbootable because my m3 has a corrupted memory chip (thats the conclusion i got from trying several stuff)
if this card can play that pokemon hack (i forgot the name, it was pokemon crystal remade on firered\ruby)
it has RTC functions so i was pretty happy to use the m3, but sadly the flashcart is bad..

i hope this card gets DLDI drivers and can be used to dump DS games (and use several homebrew) on the ds.. to replace both my gba cards
would be really neat to use exploader because the borders..
we can now dump DS games using the 3ds, but still, some homebrew requires DLDI patching.. and it's pretty neat to use the old DS for this effect

sadly most very likely that everydrive gba can't be used to transfer pokemons from gen3 to gen4 using the mini-game..

This is a emulator only rom hack I think: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=369231 or this was it? http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=351283 . one of these or both didn't work with vc gba rom injection (all other do)

VC is hardly an accurate emulator, and plain VBA and myboy (both mentioned in one of those) don't have any features like some of the old NES and SNES stuff that used less accurate emulation/bugs in the emulation to expand things, or like the N64 and GC stuff where people directly inject higher resolution textures and such like (including just for text editing purposes).

There are some other things like some GB/GBC save hacks just use the fact most emulators don't require you to observe full protocol with the save memory and then just write as they would normal memory, and there might be some inaccuracy in VBA or something with a quirk of memory that trips things up (maybe a small timing issue or something rather than intentionally abusing a flaw).
If I ever see one I would give decent odds on it being Pokemon that does it (there are enough people there playing with rudimentary asm that it is more likely to happen) but I still don't reckon I have seen it yet.

Equally I should have also said as well as RTC patches I have seen a few include save patches as well and those might trip up certain emulators and flash carts/patching programs.

Nope, pretty sure it won't have DLDI drivers, but who knows.

Anyway, I can see from the tracking that it's in my city - I should receive it soon!
