What slot-2 devices are best for GBA Exploader stuff?

I'm kind of addicted to R4 usage, so EZ 3-in-1 is off my list because it's just a slot-2 flash cart and I wouldn't probably ever put anything on it.

The EZ Flash 3in1 is the best card for GBAExploader and to work with the R4. So ruling it out isn't the best thing to do.

Or you could get a dedicated slot 2 card like the EZ Flash 4.

But i'm not actually going to put anything on it, and if it's for that purpose then it's useless to me even if it's the best.

What about the NDS Browser's Expansion Pack? Would that work? I've been thinking getting that from some retail store but haven't found a store that sold it yet, so that's why I ask now.

I don't understand are you trying to play gba games with gbaexploader?
The official pack won't do jack shit with gbaexploader since the only ram in there is the ram for the browser. So it doesn't let you play games or anything with it.

Okay, let's be clear here. You want a slot 2 card taht uses GBA Exploader hence can play GBA games. You don't want the EZ FLash 3in1 becasue you're not going to put anything on it?

This is not confusing atl all.

THe EZ FLash 3in1 is an expansion pack it has no MSD slot; instead it works with your slot 1 card so the GBA files would be on the SLot 1's MSD.

Teh Offical expansion pack does shit all apart from let you use the internet.

Link?
Anyways even if it could you would be limited into only 8mb games at max since the browser pak's ram is 8mb last time I checked.
It probably isn't even worth it and possibly be more expensive than the 3 in 1.

So it works with R4, too? I've heard wild things ranging from "You have to use EZ Flash Slot-1 with it." to "It only supports official firmware, and R4's is too low to be supported."

The 3in1 source code was released; besides CycloDS I'm not sure which carts use it and which don't.

And a while ago I'd heard the official expansion was 10MB.
