GBAtemp X-Rom 512Mbit Kit Review

[MarcosDJ]

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

But remember the X-Rom works on BOTH regular GBA's as well!! Not only GBA SP's!

I just made the review using my GBA SP.

And there is a 1Gbit X-Rom coming soon too, it's available for pre-order now!

Any ideas on the price for that?

I check out the pre order (same place shaun linked to earlier in the thread) the price is £199 ....

 

[KiVan]

the price will be 199$ not 199 pounds

(£199= ~360$)

 

[Luse]

Doh!!!! I will never get used to the £ key being where the $ key should be... (you know, on american keyboards we don't even have a £ key)

Thanks for correcting me KiVan...

Looks like a card i need to buy!!! Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK to buy one of these?? TIA

You could always try http://www.consoleplus.co.uk for flash cartridges although they don't have this X-ROM 512MBit for sale.

I live in Helsinki, Finland and I just bought one a couple of weeks ago from the UK online store. The online store isn't that great - the order tracking thing didn't work and there's no account creation so you can go see the status of your order. I basically had to sit, wait and use the force. I paid the extra $8 for premium shipping, not knowing what it was, but it turned out to be that it was signature on delivery as opposed to "expedited" delivery. However, the package arrived in under 5 days, which was quicker than I was expecting anyway.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with the device. It was also the cheapest one I could find online which could be shipped from within the EU (to avoid paying toll). It works. I definitely recommend it.

I can't wait for the 1GB version of this cart. I'll be sold on that for sure!

is it just me or does a 20 min write time seem really slow.

I feel like i wait over 10 mins on my 256 cart, so 20 mins for 512 sounds about right.

And as its USB its less hassle for me.

Im interested in the 1gb version, but PSP feels like its right around the corner for me, shame
