Still no one awnsered my question. Slot 2 card that works with cyclo and takes it's own memory not the card on the cyclos?

So I dont think there is an eWin in production that fits my model of the DS, right?TheWingless said:The EZ 3in1 can hold 1 game on its NOR memory(though I believe I saw a really old homebrew that let you write 2 if it fit). The EWin cannot hold a game. I think works like the RAM in the EZ 3in1. The rest of your GBA games stay on the slot 1 microSD.
Oh, that's right. I forgot about the EZ3in1's NOR memory. So what's the advantage of storing a single game on the slot2 cart?
If you write to the NOR memory, you can load it immediately from the slot 2 option until you delete it or write over it with another game, but it's a lot slower to write to compared to the PSRAM. The EWin only has RAM to write to so it can't hold a game. Another advantage(only applies to the GBA sized ones) is that you can plug it into your old GBA(SP) and play multiplayer games. The last one is that you can migrate Pokemon (R4+EZ3in1/Cyclo+EZ3in1/etc), but some slot 1 carts added this to their previous generation cards.

Should I just go for a EZ 3 in 1?
I'm usually pretty good at following strings of a topic but this one lost me early on. I'm having a lot of trouble concentrating today so I'm gonna reread this again tomorrow, hopefully it'll make more sense then *yawn*Bri said:I don't play GBA games that often, so maybe I'm missing something. It takes a long time to copy the game to the slow NOR memory (I've heard several minutes to write a larger game). Presumably it reads much faster, but it only takes like 4 or 5 seconds to load up the game from the slot1 cart anyway, so I'm not sure I see a big advantage there.

Why not? Don't they work just fine. For me anyways, of the games that I have. Haven't tried using a custom cheat dat yet though.rasputin said:Decided on cyclo-evo eh ? hope you don't like cheats.
