Hacking The best expansion to use with M3i Zero

[ChuckBartowski]

So ive got my m3i and now i want to buy a Slot2 card to use for gba games and linking and stuff. EzFlash 3 in 1 looks most promising but i dont know about the compatability. I also want one i can buy from a trusted site for 25$ or under. Also, is there any other things i should know about these slot2 cards before i buy one? Thanks in advance.

If all you want it for is gba gaming/linking using m3 products, go with the m3 gba expansion. It has great compatability, and support is integrated into sakura.
I haven't had any problems with any of the games I've tried. (Including games that Akaio and the 3in1 had issues saving with.)

The downside is I believe other cards don't support it like the 3in1.

thats the one you want

built in support from the M3 Real / M3i Zero
+ you can use all the extra features

Ok cool, but now i have a question.... Whats the difference between the Rumble pack from M3 and the Rumble RAM pack. I take it one has more memory? Oh and does look like a good deal: http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/hb-ds-m3realrm and then http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/hb-ds-m3realb

First: Neither is suitable for GBA games. They just provide (awful) vibration. The Rumble RAM pack also has 2 MB of RAM to run the browser from, but as this is less than the 8 MB of the official pack, it crashes frequently.

Oh... i thought these had the ability to play gba games..... well then how would i go about that.....

Buy the GBA Expansion Pack. The link Joe88 gave is the correct product, or if you want to buy for the site you looked at (though I'd personally use real hot stuff, I've bought from there before. They are quick and reliable) then you can find it at: http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/hb-ds-m3gba
