These load games straight from your slot 1 card. You put all your GBA ROMs onto that and use this to load them.

However, there have been a fair number of threads here about the devices having unreliable SRAM batteries. If you're only looking for GBA support, I'd recommend this over the 3-in-1 -

It's a dedicated GBA cart that uses its own SD card. It will work without the need for a slot 1 loader, as well as working on a GBA and a Game Boy Player. It also has very good game compatibility, but lacks a real time clock(though most of these devices lack it anyway)

In a way... it looks like you still have to flash a game to it via the DS, and you'll be stuck to one game at a time.

This is the EZ-Flash IV phat version, standalone GBA cartridge

Depends on if he wants the RAM expansion and rumble or not.

So does the EZFlash 3 in 1 have real time??

 

[logical thinker]

Real Time what? Real Time Clock (RTC)? As far as I know, no, it doesn't.

I think- am not sure- that only a small handful of the standalone GBA flash carts ever had RTC installed. Since it seems that only the Pokemon games ever used it(could be wrong, but it'd be a VERY short list) manufacturers didn't bother to install it and drive the cost up. Many of them don't even have sufficient onboard RAM to run the beefier games. It's one reason I went with the EZ-Flash IV phat model, it actually has sufficient RAM. The EZ-Flash IV Lite model doesn't.

The Pokemon ROMs have patches out that remove the RTC requirement by disabling the game functions that use it.

The Acekard 2 will naturally work with the 3-in-1 if you use the AKAIO firmware.

ok so i just ordered a 3 in 1 i got a question tho will i have to do something to set it up? or do i just put the games on and it will run. also i heard you gotta keep it charged in your ds for 6 hours is this true?

The SRAM battery is rechargeable, but doesn't have a charge from the factory. Plug in your DS AC adaptor, put it in the DS cartridge slot and turn it on. Close the lid and just sit it somewhere for 6-8 hours.

No, it's not. SRAM battery is a CR1220 3.0 volt lithium battery and can't be charged. But I managed to solder a new one (first soldering job in my life) and it turned out pretty good.

If that were the case then there would be no need to charge the device for 7 hours.
