So, I'm planning on buying a lite microsd slot 2 flash cart to play GBA games on my ds lite. I'm stuck between the EZ4 Lite Deluxe and the M3 Lite. Which one has better
-GBA compatibility?
-Homebrew?
-DS compat.
-Does either have RTC (I couldn't find anything about this on the M3.)
-And for games like the new pokemon would it be able to link up with a ds game?
Sorry for the questions but the EZ4 wiki isn't working for me for I figured Id ask people who might know the answers without it.

I was about to post a similar question. I was looking at the EZ-flash IV lite deluxe vs. the Supercard. I'm mostly interested in GBA as well, as I figure I can always add a nice slot-1 later.

Stay away from Supercard in terms of GBA unless you want slowdowns and incompatibilities.

The best chioces would be M3 or EZ4. EZ4 has the best GBA-compatibility where M3 is nearly as good. But M3 has real-time saves too.

EZ Flash IV Lite and M3 Lite are good MicroSD solutions for NDS Lite to play GBA games.
Both have same GBA and NDS compatibility, but M3 Lite has better homebrew compability and have RTC and RTS for GBA games.
EZ Flash IV series don´t have RTC and RTS save feature. Only EZ Flash II and EZ Flash III series have RTC feature but they do not have expandable/removable media card.

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
