So I can get roms easy but what I'm wondering about is are the flash carts for the advance worth it?
Who here has used them and what problems if any have you had?
I just really want to know as much as possible about them from people who have used them before I make an investment.
As far as GBA flashcarts go, the only one I've owned is an
EZ-Flash IV. You keep your ROMs on a mini-SD card, so you can keep a ridiculous amount of games on it. I had no issues with it except for the lack of an RTC. There aren't many Gameboy Advance games that use the realtime clock, but the most notable ones are Pokemon R/S/E. If you want play these you'll have to patch them, but the clock still wont be running in real time. If an RTC is that important to you, then you can get an
EZ-Flash III, but it has a few drawbacks such as price, availability, and less space for ROMs.
There are other cards for the GBA, but in my opinion those two are the best. Give a look over past
GBAtemp reviews to get an idea of what else is out there.

I can get one of these, a cable and load roms and translations onto them and go where ever and play them?
That's about the jist of it.

I know that you can use cheats with the EZ-Flash IV and most other flashcards.
QUOTE---I looked into the EZ Flash Expansion and bookmarked it now I just have a few questions.
Don't get the EZ-Flash 3 in 1 unless you plan on using it with a DS. While using it with a DS you store games on a slot-1 card and then load them onto the 3 in 1. I'll answer the rest of your questions about it for education's sake.

1. How many games will this hold roughly?
2. Would it come with software and a cable?
3. whats NOR flash memory, PSRAM, SRAM, NS Browser, and SDK?
