I opened a post in forums.r4ds.net before it crashed and got an answer from one person who i guess had no idea what he was talking about... here goes
I am currently a happy owner of one R4DS with a 1gb kingston. When I purchased my card I was fully expecting to purches the EZ flash expansion one month later so I can play all my GBA games. What interested me in the 3-in-1 was the fact that I didn't need to keep track of two cards... only one... probably need a bigger one than 1gb for all my gba games but still... just one card. What concerned me was as I was reading up on it, it started sounding incredibly complicated... three different kinds of memory... sram, something and nor something or something... whatever... above my level of expertise. So I ask in the forums.r4ds.net .... forums.... about what people would recomend to me... well... I got ONE responce and it was some fellow telling me to get an ezflash 4 or something... his main reason for suggesting this to me is the fact that the 3-in-1 dumps your savegame when you switch roms... so... I couldnt let my wife use her gbasp to play her HM-MFOMT, then take the 3-in-1 and pop it into my ds to play my summon night without losing her gamesave... pretty sure that wouldnt go over too well with her... and unfortunately its one of those games that she never.... beats i guess... just keeps playing....
but then here I hear that you CAN save your gba game saves... and even transfer them into vba! which is perfect cuz thats where we are currently playing our roms!
so i guess question 1 is) was guy who answered me full of .... Stuff... or am I not understanding what you guys over here are saying...
and my other question in regards to the 3-in-1 is) if there are currently any cheating capabilites with gba games either via R4DS or through some other program/homebrew?
Last question was something I posted/heard about on another topic here and that is) with the 3-in-1 lite version... can I butcher say.... one of my pokemon emerald gba cart/cases and slip the 3-in-1 guts into it so that she can use it on her gba sp till we both get dslites?
thank you for allowing me to ramble on!
