I read some of the threads on the EZIV but some of my questions haven't been cleared up. I'd appreciate it if somebody went through some of these with me.
Note if I go through with the purchase, it will be the GBA-sized mini SD card.
1. I heard the EZIV has built in PSRAM and NOR. Could somebody run through how the GBA manager (or loader, whatever you want to call it) organizes this. Can you choose which memory to load the game to, or is this organized by size? Or am I on the wrong track.
2. Looking at some of the replies on Sosuke forums, there seems to be a sort of "custom firmware" or some kind of modified/hacked loader. What are the advantages of using such a loader? Keep in mind I will only be using it for GBA, on a GBM if that matters.
3. Hopefully this won't matter, but there shouldn't be anything I need to be aware of while choosing a miniSD, like speed or access times?
4. I've read something about a 2in1 launcher (or something along the lines of this) for the EZIV, and I was wondering what it is, and functions I might find useful.
5. Last question. Are there any programs I should be aware of (homebrew or PC client) which will improve my experience with this card? I should know about patching with the EZIV client or GBATA, anything extra?
Thanks for your time!
EDIT: Sorry, but could somebody give me a rundown on the GBA loader menu? Is it stylish, simple, etc in your opinion? Pictures will be nice.
