Nice. The EZ3 was a wonderful little cart and a nod to it is appreciated.

Appears one of the shops selling it are also selling them as raw shells as well.

Edit. Got just the shell from one of them. Will update when it comes in.

 

Great for a spice orange console! I only have the reform though, does anybody know if the shell works for both?

 

I've thought about getting one of these flash carts, but I read something about there being a problem with saving games. in fact, someone told me that the issue can even delete all saves on the cart.

 

Depends on the exact combination of console, power source kind & quality, microSD, user ability to follow instructions, and possibly manufacturing lot - I've never had a problem but it's clear that others have...

 

sorry to branch off topic, but is everdrive the only alternative? it seems kinda pricey.

 

So nice, but powering on the console to sav your game properly is getting old. Have you replaced your battery?

 

No, I recharge it every few years (yeah, it's rechargeable, you even had to charge it for several hours before the first use) and for some reason it still works like a charm. Never felt the need to buy a new card.

 

Damn you got lucky. I replaced my battery, but it still doesn’t work like yours.

 

Mine arrived some time today (ordered on the 21st of November, today is the 7th of December. Ploylab being the vendor of choice here, never sure what to say about service when it is what it is but they sent emails confirming order, tracking (which I did not use) and payments so basic functionality really there).

Anyway pictures. Higher res versions available if so desired. My DS lite Omega front had slid under the place I keep my GBA carts so didn't have the full complement of original Omega shells to hand for this one but back panel and full size GBA are here so hopefully that will do. If necessary I can get comparison shots later.









Last shot shows comparisons between them. Seems to be ribbed for your pleasure these days, don't know if that was an issue with the earlier ones (the black one is the review sample I was sent). Mould making seems a lot cleaner here but was not a particular problem before. Kind of tough to get into an original DS GBA slot but worked in the end. Fit of the cart itself is rather tight, so much so I actually opted for a spudger when pulling apart the lite version to make it into a full size cart version.
Sticks out a bit from the DS lite in its DS lite form factor. Not enough to bother me but I will note it. Depending upon how worn or dirty your GBA slot is you might still benefit from a bit of folded paper but worked for my stuff. Also seem to have changed screw type to a more machine thread style rather than the self tapper my original one came with.

Did bust out the micrometer just for fun. Orange is a bit thinner actually in the thinnest points (of which there are a few as there is a subtly different design in addition to the ribs)

 

Does anybody know where to get the other colored shells? Funnyplaying (manufacturer of GBA IPS backlit screen replacement) released transparent blue and transparent pink in a limited run of 50 shells for EZFlash Omega, but blue is sold out (not before I bought mine though!), and pink only has five left so if you want a pink GBA flashcart you need to act fast

This leaves just the transparent green and clear shells still unaccounted for, anybody know where to get those?
