test with kirby and the amazing mirror,
i am kinda curious how that card works.. does it copy the rom into a ram or something?
super card for gba had loads of issues because it read directly from the sd card.. some cards like EZ iv solved this by including a PSRAM\NOR memory wich the rom get temporary loaded into..
i want to know how that card works...

Super-fast. Yeah, it copies it over to some kind of PSRAM. It's the same system the EZ IV uses, only using newer components.

Hi migles
You can find your friends who would like to buy it as well and make a group purchase.
You can get up to -20% discount if you buy from 800 USD (for example 8 EverDrives in such a group purchase).

thanks for the help. but i has no friends :'(
i guess one way was to group up with gbatemp friends but i don't know how that would work and even with that discount i can't affoard it..

So how does it run programs like Goombacolor and pocketNES?

I am especially curious about Shante on goombacolor. On EZflash as well as the Revok101+ Shante suffers from significant slowdown. How does it fare on Everdrive GBA?

FAST6191 · Jul 30, 2016

I don't think the flash carts will have any bearing on homebrew like that, or if it does then does it also do it in VBA or no$gba?

raulpica · Jul 30, 2016

Indeed, I think FAST is right. I'm readying some GoombaColor + PocketNES testing and I'll try Shantae, but I'm sure it'll slowdown on the ED GBA as well.

IIRC, I remember that Shantae pretty much pushed the GBC to its limits.

Please include some shots of the hardware, comparing the Everdrive with the EZ.

I'm still temped to purchase a couple of Everdrives.
NES SNES n64 mainly...

Yep, already made them. You'll be able to see them in the review

Sweet!
I might eventually get an Everdrive GBA and retire all of me GBA flashcards.
Probably display them in a case or something.

Yeah thats why I wanted you to test Shante specifically. Because it is super taxing on the hardware. If it can run that it'll run anything.I have a GB Everdrive to play Shante on, but it would be pretty cool if it ran well in the GBA Everdrive.

excited to see it! Though, I went through the hardware section and I couldn't find any hardware reviews past 2013. I'd like to see the EZ-Flash and Supercard reviews as well, but it's mostly (3)DS stuff by the looks of it.

It might be neat to have a flashing subcategory for hardware reviews too.

Yeah, somehow those were not included in the review section as they were "normal" forum posts as we didn't have a review center back then. If you google them you should be able to find them

Thanks! I found them, for anyone wanting to see, but all the pictures are long gone:

For the EZ4 SDHC then most things I would say on the matter were said in
http://gbatemp.net/threads/new-ez4-sdhc-in-house-at-gbatemp.381182/
and covered in
http://gbatemp.net/threads/buying-a-gba-flash-cart-in-2013.341203/page-18#post-4756995
One of the links in the second is broken so http://kuwanger.altervista.org/gba/pogoshell/ should be it now.
Also https://ezflash.sosuke.com/viewforum.php?f=12 has various things in case you wanted to use emulators which can be troublesome for some.
For cheats then trainers and GBAATM were the suggested method.

In one of the later pages of the opening thread there I had a little video showing the time taken between SDHC and older revisions, apparently sdhc made loads a bit longer.

There is really not a lot to say on GBA flash carts though -- other than RTC, tilt, solar and the other oddities covered in the second link it is not like older consoles where there were mappers, special chips, cic lockout chips, mbcs and all that jazz that make flash carts a harder game there -- as long as you have the fast memory (supercard does not hence it having major issues and needing all sorts of patching) then there is not a lot to GBA flash carts.

Hopefully soon, compatibility testing is taking a LOT of time

I bet...damn lot of gba games out there. Did you take any pics of the cart in various GBAs? Personally I love that it is reminiscent of Boktai because it'll match my Boktai GBAsp.
