Hacking Adapter with Extended Memory?

[Searinox]

Been looking around and I decided: I'm going for an EZ 3 in 1 + R4. How do you write things onto an EZ Flash? Doesn't seem to have any expandable slot. Could someone tell me to around what price that brings it? And I don't know if it's against forum rules or not to ask(please do point out if it is), but what would be a cheap and reliable online store to buy from that can ship to Europe(hopefully before Christmas LOL)?

I'd suggest reading up on the products you're about to buy, before you buy them. You write to the 3in1 using a third-party tool that writes from your slot-1 card to the 3in1's NOR flash or PSRAM. A small amount of research would have revealed this. I only say it because I don't want you to get the product and find that it's nothing like you expected.

To be honest I only wanted it for the memory expansion since I expect powerful software and games to make use of it in the future. But hey since it can do GBA games too I figured I'd ask a few questions about it, out of pure curiosity. And the rumble function? I REALLY don't care about that. PSRAM you say? Isn't that backed up by a battery?

The PSRAM on the 3-in-1 is volatile; every time you want to play something you run the tool and write it. The NOR, on the other hand, retains what you last wrote to it after power-off.
I think the save files are stored in SRAM, which does have a battery.

Yep, SRAM requires the battery to maintain memory contents and is used for saves.

The PSRAM will lose everything in it every power cycle\, and the NOR Flash, well, will act like any other flash memory...
