Upgrading Flash cart

I bought my M3 Perfect Mini-SD system right before the PassCard flood and first generation of Slot-1 solutions. I'm very happy with it since I like keeping the possibility of playing GBA games, which isn't possible with Slot-1 systems of course. M3Perfect works well with every game I've played up to now too, no complaints about it.

But thing is I hate that PassKey thing that came with it. Its big and sticking out badly. I usually slide it off before starting the game, but still its rather inconvenient to carry around and sldie back in every time I reload a game.

So I was jugglign my options and wanted to know what you guys would suggest on this.

I know Slot-1 solutions still give me the chance to boot from my M3Perfect, such as M3Simply, acting like a PassKey. It could play NDS games on its own as well, the Slot-2 one could be used only for GBA games as a result.

On the other hand I could just get a cheap Passcard and keep the entireity of it.

Note that I got a Phat DS, not a Lite, so its not a question of size per say.

I've looked into the list of Slot-1 systems and passcards, like R4 systems with built-in memory, or M3Simply with MicroSD cards. I figure that the R4 8gb is actually a 1GB flash memory, a 8GB SD card costs alot more than this. I'm just really looking for your opinions and suggestions on this.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

 

Yeah, most probably my faulty memory.

 

I actually keep making the same mistake about the R4 having internal memory :'( Was chatting with Shadow about it and made the same mistake.

Well nevermore sicne I decided on getting a R4. The M3 Simply was out of stock

So now I can play my NDS games straight off the Slot-1 and keep the Slot-2 for either extra games or GBA games.

Flashing my NDS, I don't really trust it. I don't mean it wouldn't work, just that I don't trust myself to do it correctly
