Hacking Best slot2 to work with R4 DS?

How many roms would fit on a 1 GB card?
And are the loadingtimes of the EZ 4 for a GBA game long?

You could fit well over 100 average size GBA games on a 1GB memory card.

It takes a few seconds to load a small game into PSRAM. 32MB games take up to about 30 seconds. It takes a few minutes to write a big game to the NOR flash memory, but it loads instantly after that.

The EZ-4 has 16MB of PSRAM and 32MB of NOR flash memory. This means that 32MB games always have to be written to NOR before you can run them. If that's a problem for you, look into the EZ-4 Lite Deluxe. It has 32MB of PSRAM and 48MB of NOR flash memory.

One thing you should know about the EZ-4 (and all of its variants) is that you can only have up to 80 games total on the memory card at once due to a limitation in the way it handles the file system.

This is not necessarily a problem, but it's something you should know about before you get the cart and a big memory card.

You should know that by 80 games at one time, he means that in one directory. You can divi up your games into different directories (for example i have mine divied up into folders by alphabet letters, "A-F", "G-L", etc.) and can hold as many games as you want that way.

The Deluxe(which i think is the greatest) doesnt come with a GBA sized case though. I am still trying to find a piece of shit GBA game to mount mine in.

It's my understanding that the EZ-4 keeps all of the save files in the same directory (/saver/ I think), seperate from the roms. If that's the case, then there is no way around the 80 game limit.

I could be wrong though, I don't actually have an EZ-4. I'm just going by what I've read.

i picked one up from gamersection.ca but I wasn't too impressed with how my cart arrived. It came in a paper envelope, inside a piece of paper. I know the EZ4 usually has a box but it was missing with my purchase. Also the bottom right corner was cracked. Try buying it from somewhere like
http://www.gameyeeeah.com/

They are now a gbatemp affiliate so I would trust them. Also I've boughten from kickgaming.com be4 and was fairly happy with the way things arrived to me.

Are there any shops that are based in Europe with the EZ IV?
