Hacking The Slot-1 Flashcards Comparison Chart is out! UPDATED

[Minox]

Well it's easily changed, and it can be collaborated so that multiple users can edit it online.

Much more readible now, pretty good chart actually.

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

I've made a Google Spreadsheet of this, to show that it's easier, quicker and nicer than how you did it:

(Didn't finish it properly)

Looks much better. But doesn't have the same features.

I need to bump this 'cause theres still noobs going around the forum asking which card i should buy.

 

[Link5084]

Can a mod please sticky this?

I notice the Cyclo has 2MB onboard flash memory. What exactly does that do?

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

I was wondering that too. I forget where but I heard somewhere (on GBAtemp) that you can just insert the MicroSD card into the flashcart and it'll make the system files. Although I'm not sure. Maybe it contains saves? Not really sure.

Maybe a CycloDS owner will explain it to us non-CycloDS owners.

 

[caffolote]

Yeah I'm confused too. In fact, what does the built in flash memory do for CycloDS and Acekard RPG?

 

[IOwnAndPwnU]

Well, the CycloDS has 2MB onboard which leaves me clueless.

The AK RPG onboard NAND is like a 1GB memory built in. It's better than external memory because it's faster (since it's built-in). Although, the Acekard 2 cost like $23 (DX) and the AK RPG 8G/1GB costs like $65 (DX) which is like a $40 difference for a 1GB memory built-in.

on-board firmware that allows easy migration from other cards and enhances upgradability.

Does the AKRPG have a slot to put external memory in it like a MicroSD card in? I don't know much about it. Also, can you delete the internal memory inside in the menu?

You can also insert a MicroSD, I don't know about the second (why would you want to?)

Yes, and Yes.

Go to reviews at the top header and go to CycloDS, it will tell you alot even tho its out-dated. I think it does save the system files and moonshell etc.

YAY! 100 posts!

Nice. 100 posts.

I know the EZ-Flash V isn't incredibly popular - but it should certainly be on the chart. Hell, I'll even figure out how it should be marked on the chart. Or am I just blind?

Looking at the chart I can't see why the EZV isn't more popular - it's more fully featured than many of the carts there.

 

[TheWingless]

It is really quite sad, the EZV has one of the best prices out there, a full set of features, great playback, and an AWESOME team behind them. I love EZ Flash products, ever since my EZ Flash 3, I kept buying them up.
I don't understand it myself either. I hardly hear any complaints. I hardly ever hear any recommendations for it. It's not even a flash cart that people tell you to avoid(R4 and DSX). The team itself sounds pretty reliable and is pretty old. I say there's nothing wrong with it.

It stores the firmware. That's why when you update it, it's gotta do that little update progress bar thingy.

Grats on 100 posts?

Wait...Doesn't the Cyclo support fully clean dumps as in it doesn't patch on the go? Like that one time with the Moogle screen of death? It was thought that the flashcarts that patched on the go did this.

 

[ENDscape]

Just one question, why put an r4 clone in there? Its better to avoid those so people wouldnt add it to their wishlist and ask to solve problems afterwards.

It is kinda stupid not to have it. It has a pretty good price ($20 DX) and it also offers the option EZ3in1 GBA expansion pack for only like $20 more. It kinda reminds me of the M3 and their GBA expansion.

Text and tables are hideous in an image. I made a quick port on googledocs with a few alterations, you can see it here:

But really, this sort of thing looks best either on a wiki or website so others can fix and update the info.

 

[miketh2005]

thanks seren for adding the EZ Flash V to your chart, I'll copy it over as soon as I get the chance, I'll also add your Top 3 thing...kinda...

I think it's better with a image better than google, so what if its not lined up PERFECTLY, its defeating the purpose...

Looks cool. Very neat and organized.
