I found this will searching for the 3 in 1 on dealextreme when I came across this Link. Can you use this for playing GBA ROM's. It doesnt state wether it has RAM or not. Also is it a clone of something. Thanks
 
Its a slot2 so its capable of playing GBA games. It says it right on the box

Damn that thing is cheap lol....wonder if its any good. Not much memory but 128MB gould hold quite a few gba roms.
 
I forgot to look at the box. Stupid me. The crap thing is though that I have to use my old GBA to flash things to it. Thanks 754 boy, I am ordering one right now

Man, that's cheap. Too bad the shipping costs you more than the whole card...

Is that 128MB or 128 mb? 128 mb = 16 MB. Enough for most games, one at a time...

So it might be 16MB.
 
Shit.

So it could be either 128Mb(16MB) or 128MB(1Gb). I bought it 20 minutes ago. Ill ask bout it.

EDIT( The box says multi game so I think its 128MB. Hopefully

Relax, 16MB is enough for GBA games. And $10 isn't much. You can always sell it (and for a profit, too), to some local credit-card-less kid

It says 128M on the card, so I'd say you get 16MB. 128MB NOR flash would be much more expensive.

I think it's funny that the box says "USB High Speed" while the images clearly show a parallel port connector.

Dealextreme says 128MB, so I have to wait 2 weeks or until someone can clear it up for me.

EDIT DX's site also says it can play NDS ROMS so I am leaning towards 128MB...for now

Untrimmed DS roms can be as small as 8MB (64Mb). If you attach a loader to the rom, many of them can be played from GBA style flashcarts, which is what this thing looks like.

I find it hard to believe that a GBA flashcart with 128MB of NOR flash memory would be this cheap. That said, a 16MB cart is well worth $11 if it really works.
 
If its only 16MB I will find something else. I will probably give this to my brother if it is 16MB.

EDIT-I just sent a support ticket so hopefully some Knows at Dealextreme
 
When I get mine I will make a mini review for gbatemp. Dealextremes support tickets are very fast so hopefully by tomorrow morning I should have an answer
 
It's 128Mbit, but don't knock it till you try it. You'd be surprised how little space you actually need. It may not sound like much, but unlike the 3-in-1 "multirom" means it can hold more than one game at once, which is 2-3 games more than the 3-in-1 can hold. Sure it won't take the largest 32MB games like KH but anything else'll fit on it just fine.

Where on earth did they dig a parallel port linker up from?

Oh and *psst*, lasers.
 
One of the packaging shows "128M" as the model/storage capacity of this device. 128M actually means 128Mbit, as per the usual way these GBA products are marketed by their manufacturers. That's 16M-Byte of memory in the usual terms.
