The only reason that I want to get one is so that I can put episodes of Gundam Wing on my GBA. the 256 is more than enough for me for games, but I want to have movies! I might have to get it. we need some real product reviews first though.

 

LOL!

u joking l33ter

but it's really expensive....
and as jive said....anime on GBA!!!!!!!!
would be so cool to watch onegai in school or something, even only to show off



I say phuque the EZ-F advance, i'm saving for this un'

Anime on gba !!!! YES NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY!!!

 

Doesn't really matter, it's the idea that counts

boasting with it at school i can't wait


and i don't think you could copy the whole episode, it would need some tweaks, i got this insane clown posse video, for gba, it's 4.whatever megabyte zipped and as there is zip support on this cart.... do the math

 

For $250 you can get a new console and a couple of games.. meh.

 

WOW! I want one so badly, I want to put animes on it too, that would be so AWESOME! Or South Park episodes.

Unfortunately it's WAY too expensive for me at the moment plus I don't want to buy it until I read some reviews, a 1GB Card may cause problems and we need to be careful when buying such huge cards.

This may sound stupid but won't that card drain the battery faster? I know GBC Cards (Huge long ones) which drain the batteries very fast.

 

support ZIP files? uh...wonder how many could you put?

 

I think everyone with intelligence is waiting on the reviews, and that's not a bad thing. I have questions regarding support, compatibility, etc that will only be answered once it gets a little more widespread on the market. Let's face it. F2A isn't exactly the best supported hardware in recent history, is it? They relied on PogoShell to do their selling for them.

 

Second!
Couldn't be more true!

btw
about the unlimited revive:
i wonder how this behaves.
how many savegames can you have there at once? i bet it'll only be one
and another thing, what if you open a game and hit the load-button, and the savegame isn't for the game you're playing but from another game you were playing... what happens then?
also, i think it would take a memory dump or something like that, and when you hit the load button it just overwrites the current memory.
but wouldn't that lead to another problem
say you play wario ware on your cartridge and you also have fire emblem on that card. (the game would be burnt in that order, wario, then FE)
what happens if you re-burn your cart with say... mario 2 and wario ware (in that order, mario, wario)
wouldn't that make the savegame look for the game where mario is placed and immediately crash?
dunno if it works like that, but it seems logical to me.

also, if pogoshell was to support this card, it would have to update its way to handle gamesaves, since we now have 512k saves, no?

and if you wanna add a new game to your cart, will you have to burn the whole gig again or can you just add a game?

questions like these are the ones that matter!
actually, i think we should make a thread for just these questions!

 

Like I told Esrion back then, the 1GBit Flash Cart was already available a few months back via some Chinese retail sites. I guess they must have still been in the testing stage at the time.

Anyway, as for putting Anime on GBA, you can already find some demos that you can flash onto your cart. Since you can watch TV on your GBA via a TV Tuner then I'm sure it'll be fine. In fact, they have already been selling episodes of the famous Anime, Detective Conan in Japan for the GBA. But, the catch was you needed an adapter to view the episode that's stored on 32MB Smart Media cards.

So, this 1GBit should give you access to 4 episodes of Anime... if you convert them the same way as the Conan episodes that is.

- Edit -

Ah, it's basically the adapter that PlayingKarrde linked to earlier.

I think 512MBit would be the most plausible size unless you want to have lots of games on your cartridge at once Otherwise, with a 512MBit you can already store one of the 256MBit games along with 2 x 128MBit ones. That should really be enough
