Hacking What is the best NDS Flashcart?

[Critical_Impact]

What about homebrew compatability for each of these carts? Does ScummVM etc support the flash carts you guys are suggesting?

Isn't there something about compatibility issues with EZ (not necessarily EZ4)? Since if you are going to use them for DS applications you would be needing Passme/Passcard variant, and currently Superkeys/Passcard does not support EZ... Or EZ2 and EZ Flash II are different (kinda confused here, really...) [This is actually the reason why I am thinking of purchasing another flashcart (probably supercard) although I have EZ Flash II, since I read that it is currently not supported by superkey/passcard variants]

EZ2's and EZ Flash II's are the same thing, yes. EZ Flash and EZ Flash Advance are different products, though.

The EZ2 uses a different loader then the EZ4, I don't know if it's compatiible w/ Passcards or not, I don't have a Passcard of any sort to test it. So if it isn't, until EZ Flash release their own Passcard-type-thing (should be soon-ish FWIU) your options are using a Passme 1/2 and/or Flashme'ing your DS. I think EZ Flash has given up on making sure EZ carts work w/ the Passcard. They fixed the EZ4 3 times so that it would work w/ the Passcard/Superkey, everytime the very next version of the Passcard/Superkey did not work w/ the EZ4.

If one isn't hung up on a passcard style passme, it just seems like a very nice alternative to the current "hot" products. I mean, when compared to a G6 (the closest competitor, IMO), you'd loose the "crystal engine" movie player and have only slightly lower DS compatability and save $50 (at Jandaman's shop anyway I didn't look very hard).

I haven't had any problems getting ScummVM running on my EZ2, 3 or 4, one just needs to use the .ds.gba version.

Guess I just have to buy another card. I already ordered my Superkey and it on its way, too bad it wouldn't work out.

I myself prefer either a supercard or EZ flashkit, never tried those G6's or M3's though.

Definitely the m3 slim sd

It's rather small but still fits standard gba slots and it works like a charm, everytime something starts to go wrong like some nds games not working or stuff, i go to the official site and a new firmware is up, wich fixes the problem(s). I knew nothing at all about NDS flashing and i could use the m3 adapter very easyly. Best thing i bought in a long time.
