Players have been using GBA cards to play NDS games for a long time. From CF card to microSD card, it seems there are plenty of choices available. But virtually they are all based on an immature technology and they are only a compromise solution. Not only the flashing your DS to gain booting support, but also frenquent software upgrades are needed to mend the ROM for supporting new games. Those are nightmare to players who just want to fucus on games and all of these inconvenience are caused by the imperfect technology.



The nightmare is becoming history now. "Flashme, Passme, Convert" will fade away from player's life. Because a real mature
SLOT-1 solution is provide by EZTEAM. EZ-FLASH V, a product using the mature SLOT-1 technology, no need "Flashme, Passme,Convert" anymore. You can focus on playing game without worrying anything. More than that, EZ-FLASH V's multimedia function provides more choices for players.



EZ-FLASH V is the output of EZTEAM's expenrience from GBA era. EZTEAM never give up to technology difficulties in the 4 years. Highly secured quality assurance, active improvements on defects, respect to the user's opinions-all these efforts aim one goal: to satisfied the players. Only by doing this can the EZ brand survive.

I look forward to seeing if this is actually going to live up to the promises, if it does it looks to be the best of the slot 1 solutions so far.

Given a high level of compatability of course.

Here's hoping a review copy hits GBATemp's doorstep soon.

any eta on this?

 

[monkeymachine]

Cool, looking forward to another quality GBAtemp review =)


I'm wondering why there still isn't any real-time save functions for DS games yet..?

 

[Athlon-pv]

ETA few weeks as it stands

 

[ahsan]

Does this new flashkit support the drag and drop feature, like the one of the DS-X?
I'm thinking of getting a DS-X, but if this is just as easy to use and has external memory, i'll be getting the EZ-Flash V.

Awesome, Im still happy with my EZ4 Deluxe though, slot 1 keeps getting better and better though. Im just going to wait until it gets perfected, which is happening very fast. Always have loved the EZ Team. gj guys.

FTFA.

it says yes but it yet to be seen how it plays out.

 

[jaguares]

with the success of their slot 2 solution this solution should be better than all the other slot one solution. Hopefully they finish this soon.

 

[Kurimu]

Damnit >_<
And i just got a DS-X too, i do love it, the only thing i hate is the size... if i knew this was comin' out i might've waited.
Dont get me wrong, DSX IS the best 1-slot solution right now (acekard and ninjapass suck :-/)
But man... I assume this will be able to play DS-to-DS like dsx w/o flashing, which is one of the reasons i got it.

 

[Stryk3r]

Any idea on the price of this piece of potential?

 

[Hooya]

Having been very satisfied with my EZFIV for the bast 6 months, I would say that this is the first solution I would consider upgrading to.

The IV has been very compatible and reliable, I can only hope to expect the same from this new model.

May I ask why they call "booting from GBA-slot" and "Flashme" and stuff a "nightmare"? o.o

 

[deathspawn999]

to sell more stuff

 

[adgloride]

Depending on the price this looks like it could be the best slot 1 solution so far.

I think they called it "immature technology" which in engrish means its "old news" I look forward to the Slot-1 wars moreso than the console wars XD.

 

[Sinkhead]

I hope this supports download play to non-flashed DSs.
I also hope it is cheap.

1st rule of marketing ... find a way to make the consumer feel like what he's got now, no matter how good it is, totally sucks.

2nd rule of marketing ... nobody talks about the 1st rule of marketing.

I'm a cheapass gamer, so I try not to let that rule #1 bother me. Fer instance, I just bought 4 Xbox games each ranked 9+ by IGN for under $50 shipped. I win! I'm still plenty happy with my slot 2 cart, but when the Slot1's have been out long enough to get the kinks worked out, I'll take a look at them. I think the best feature they offer is that they'll work in any DS including any future redesign. (Yes, I think Nintendo may release one more DS redesign)

Of what's out there RIGHT NOW, this is clearly the leader.

And another DS Linker...

Tired of these...
