Hacking GBA Pak or RAM Pak

[GWizard]

I have a simple question:

What can a GBA Expansion Pak do that RAM Pak doesn't except GBA Games compatibility?

 

[g6team]

The only difference really it is the GBA gaming compatibility with the GBA Expansion.

I heard that the RAM pak has enough ram to cater for the web browser, but fails on some homebrew like Quake 2 DS.

I've had my GBA cart for about 2 weeks now, i'm pretty happy that i got it over the rumble RAM pack.

I don't play my GBA games much, but at least i have the RAM there and ready for anything that needs it. To be honest i'm not that concerned about the rumble feature, hell, i haven't even tried mine!!!

it only has 8 MB of RAM, the GBA Expansion has 32 MB. It does not matter for the official browser, but it is a significant difference for RAM-enabled homebrew.

so the gba pack has ram as well? (meaning there is no need to buy ram pack?)

if you have one, no need to waste money for the same thing

[Chrono_Tata]

Pretty sure it has 4MB internally.

I had the rumble ram for about a month and it started to fail and crash the browser and it would vibrate insanely at time so I bought a ez 3 in 1 works perfect had it for 2 months still going strong
