I'm looking for a couple of flashcarts (two of the same) for the GB Micro and would like them to have the best compatability, on a flashcart that uses external memory. I was very interested in the EZF3 but it has such a small amount of capacity that it makes it nearly worthless to me.
My concerns, in order of importance, are: compatability (esp with multiplayer link games); extra features such as real time save states (multiple, selectable save states), built in cheats, etc.; cleanliness and speed of the UI (the M3 is annoyingly slow), homebrew compatability (I don't see this as that big a concern as most likely most all flash carts should work with emulators and other homebrew just fine for the GBA, or am I mistaken?). Also, skinnability of the GUI would be nice, but is by no means a requirement.
Basically, I've almost settled on the EZ-Flash IV, but I'm still concerned about the lack of the RTC. the EZ-Flash 3 was purportedly the best GBA flash cart made (for its time), esp for compatability, and it brings that compatability (minus the RTC) to the EZF4, but I'm still a bit uncertain in this arena. What games (aside from Pokemon) use the RTC? Is it that important? (I know games like Animal Crossing would be fairly useless without having an RTC - which, I know it uses the DS's internal clock, but the GBA doesn't have one - basically without the RTC, even with patches, it kills real time events)
If the general concensus is the EZF4, then I'll go with that. If so, then, I've found them on Gameyeaaah (or however it's spelled), but, are they reputable?
Thanks for any help rendered.
Be well,
