Ultra Flashpass EX Review

[Little]

Thats what they said about the playstation 1 and 2 =) Thats what they said about PC games. Anything is possible =)

 

[-EX-]

Haha, that's funny. The cards are the same, yet the prices drastically differ:
DS Linker (SC Brand) 16G - 70$
DS Firelink 16 - 40$

OMG

Well, all in all, it seems DS Firelink is the cheapest flashcard out there. The 8G edition costs even lesser. WHY DID I BUY R4?! ARGH!

Well, I'm buying that shit too. I like to collect quality flashcards as well as games.

Where did you find that deal for the Firelink? I haven't seen it anywhere. Anyway, I'll still be waiting for the G6DS. Hopefully it succeeds where the n-card clones failed.

It's Japanese store. They don't ship overseas, I think.

Well, sure G6DS will be great. Maybe, it'll be the best slot-1 solution with built-in memory, you won't have to use slot-2 cart to burn roms and all. But, it will be pricey as hell. Here you get 16G with 100% compatibility for 40 bucks! G6DS will have much lesser space and will be much more expensive. At least 80-100$, I think.

Thanks for the link. Actually, G6DS comes out as 16 gigabit first I think. It was in one of the news posts

Oh, my bad then. But still, it will be much more expensive. Well, anyway, let's see what features will it have.

For sure

Im just hoping it will be worth the wait and the money. If not, I might just stick with M3 Real. I'm a fan of internal memory though

I was a fan of external memory. then i broke my microsd card. now i'm a fan of internal memory, and am anticipating the G6 real. But unfortunately there hasn't been any news on it for a while... :'(

 

[OSW]

I think my only concern is how slow is slow for the transfers. and of course, as with all built in memory carts, theres the chance of games becoming bigger than that 1 gig.

no there isnt

SNAP! lol.

as has been repeated above, its extremely unlikely. I can forsee 256mb games but doubt they will get any bigger.

First off, to the gbattemp moderators, you may not want to link to that store selling the Ultra Flashpass because:
1) The store has a link where you can download commercial roms games

They are also selling pirate copies of nds games on dvd:

"Special Price items of the Week! (12 Feb 2007 - 18 Feb 2007)
- UFPEX 8.0G + Ewin Rumble Pak + Rumble Pak NDS Games CD - GBP34.90*** ( 5 Sets Only) "

Wow, pretty awesome GUI, and great compagability. Thanks!

Great compatibility yes, but awesome GUI? I think it's butt ugly, especially with the corny rainbow arrows and the pink/yellow theme of "Ultra Flashpass" which contributes to an overall sense of fuglicious.

 

[Spikey]

Good review there. Seems for those that want built in memory, and don't care about download play, this is the perfect buy... although... XD It's interesting that you can turn any of the clones into any other one... Defeats the purpose of competition? Anyways, the GUI is interesting, but I don't like it. None of the flash carts have a good GUI really, cept DS-X. Though... no one wants to pay for that! XD

Anyways, again, nice review.

Gets all the information that needs to be known across.

That's true, though technically GBAtemp isn't linking to a site that hosts roms, it is linking to a site that then links to a site that hosts roms. So they aren't endagering themselves in that regard.
Though the fact that the site sells NDS backups on DVDs is a good reason to not link to it...Too bad it's the only place to buy this cart.

Well, I'm buying that shit too. I like to collect quality flashcards as well as games.

You did buy the R4 just because you can throw your games on it many times faster and it supports homebrew
