Hacking Is switching to SDTWO worth it for GBA Compatability?

[Shanester]

I have an iEDGE card and am satisfied, but I want to play a few (3) games on the GBA that I used to have. Is it worth the extra money?

Only if you don't have a slot-2.

Get an EZ Flash 3 in 1 if you have a DS Lite, or a full GBA flashcart if you don't mind the protrusion or if you have a phat.

Otherwise (if you have a DSi/XL), getting the SCDS2 would be worth it for the GBA compatibility if you LIKE playing GBA games.

If you don't like playing GBA games, there is no reason for you to be looking for GBA compatibility.

That mostly depends on your game. For some games the trade off of speed on native hardware is acceptable. For others games the trade off is not worth it. There is already a running list of games and how they play on the SCDS2 here: http://gbatemp.net/t226964-supercard-dstwo-gba-emulator-details

If the majority of your list of games do not fall in the working list, the SCDS2 is probably not for you.

not if you are into gba homebrew.

If you already have a Slot1 device, just get the 3-in-1 add-on! 100% GBA support ran natively. However, the DSTwo has alot more going for it than just GBA Emulator. I believe it has a good SNES emulator, and there's a few apps currently in development to take advantage of the processor.

Depends on how much you will buy the bundle/ card for, if you really like GBA games then it's a must have. But, if you already have a card that works fine either buy a slot 2 [if you have a ds phat/lite] or if you're not a fan of GBA save your money for something else. My opinion- totally worth it because i love the GBA games; there are many gems that can't be missed out on on that system. =]

If you have a slot-2: get an EZ Flash 3 in 1.

Don't have a slot-2: yes, get a SCDS2, but it depends
- you'd have to LOVE playing GBA games
- if you like GBA homebrew


The SCDS2 has so much features, so the SCDS2 is worth it anyways.
