Yes I did read your post and you are wrong. What extra ram? There's still only 32mb available. Both cards have the exact same game compatibility including Golden Sun. The compatibility comes from the emulators themselves (plus the 'game_config.txt' in TempGBA's case), and the releases of the emulators we use (TempGBA, TempGBA-mod and CATSFC) all pre-date the release of the plus, how are they supposed to know about any hardware improvements?. They perform identically on both cards. I've tried them. Run both cards side by side with the 'FPS counter' enabled. You will see they are the same.
"Compared to DSTWO, DSTWO PLUS has 4x the Flash and 2x the CPLD power." <----- Why post this? It's marking garb and means nothing when the plus is running in DS mode. The emulators run in DS mode. They run the same on both cards. A couple of us have mentioned this on here. Even the Admin on the Supercard forum has stated the plus and standard are identical in DS mode when folk have asked if it's worth buying the plus to use in a DS. If there is any gain to be had between the two maybe it's battery life possibly due to more modern components, but I can't comment on this yet as I haven't got around to running the battery tester on them. I do know my old R4 outlasts my DSTwo by a couple of hours at least.
With regards to 'lag', I didn't mention 'lag', I said 'isn't good enough to run Snes and GBA at full speed without frameskip'. Basically pick a game and set the Frame skipping to '[0] Show all frames' and check the FPS rendered. A raft of games won't run at 60fps with 0 frameskip enabled. Off the top of my head try Donkey Kong Country 3 and try tell me that game is running correctly. Constantly dropped frames and glitchy sound. If I compare to my Pandora, there's a world of difference. Most games get along fine with the frameskip set to 1 and the processor ramped up to 396mhz (with even more battery life being sacrificed), but it can be a bit annoying on sidescrollers as it causes jerkiness. Snes stuff is the same with the frameskip set to 0, although you can gain a few extra FPS by disabling screen scaling (at the cost of losing some of the playing area). Don't get me wrong it's a great card (I own both versions) and would highly recommend it. It's a great feat they've emulated two systems in a DS card. But to suggest emulation is somehow better and more compatible on the plus is a myth.

I tought cheats were the best thing ever at that time, having free tanks were dope because stealing one from the military was near damn impossible
