They can't. I'm highly, highly tempted to call BS on the no-patching claim. The manufacturers already tried making this claim once when Slot-1 devices were initially introduced, only for it to become obvious they were patching on the fly. I'm sure Openchip will have a few words(or more) of his own, but it's impossible to run a NDS game off of NAND flash without patching, NAND is just too damn slow compared to what the slot-1 spec calls for.
The G6 REAL will only apply to the hardcore of the hardcore.
Why should you have to stick out the G6 DS Real to play GBA games then? GBA compatible carts go in the GBA slot, G6 in the DS slot...Why is the G6 logo "infamous"? Were they in the news or something?
Eh, I won't judge this as the "be all, end all" flash cart until it has GBA support (as well as all other boasted though not-yet-proven features) and someone has actually used it. A slot-1 device will never be a complete device unless it supports GBA, as far as I'm concerned (and yes, I know this is impossible currently). If I have to take out the device and stick in another device to play another game the handheld can play, then it's far from perfect.
It may turn out to be the best Slot-1 device, but I don't see how it could be the best flashcart, overall, as shaunj66 put it.

I was referring to the fact that GBA game play is as much a part of the DS as DS game play, so no flashcart could ever be perfect without support for both. It's like a PS2 modchip with no PSX support, or a Wii modchip with no GC support, etc. Also, you do still have to boot up a different device (not to mention buy one), whether or not you remove the G6. But you're right on calling out my exact wording for it.
you're a hard ass for supporting middlesbrough
i cant deny that....

You shouldn't take "infamous" it so literally, it's one of the major flashcart companies, with a popular (albeit a bit expensive) slot 2 flashcart - g6 lite, with good features and has a good reputation.
Since Slot one's will NEVER support gba without modding to the ds or a gba slot addon. Thus it is completely unreasonable to say a slot one card is incomplete without gba support. G6 Real is looking to be the most feature packed and solid card to be released so far, but it will not be PERFECT, as no cart can ever be (because people have different opinions and technology is always improving).
Only Slot two carts can play gba and nds, and none of them are perfect, each has a disadvantage in comparison to each other. And since slot two support has basically been extinguished albeit for addons (such as with ez5) you'll never get what you apaprantly want.
Forget your unrealistic expectations and negative attitude man!
