Hacking Why are GBA Flashcarts so expensive?

[migles]

actually I have an ezflahs 3in1 but I'm not using it much .. I would like to have one I could play on my actuall gba XD and I wanted do stuffs like the communication with gamecube .. I Know if you do it ingame (like sonic advance ) it would work, but if it need to load your save I'm not sure if will work :/ some gba games are jard and expensive to get, if this works would be great :B lol

And actually you can't do ez3in1 to original game, unless you use an code or something , I saw you need a modded DS rom to make it work :v

its the same deal with ez iv.. can do communication ingame.. (if the link works, and i am not sure about it)

you can use a 3 in 1 in a real gba if you get a GBA SHELL the only thing that prevents from working on the gba is the pastic part.... you can try to open a gba cart, and try to fit it inside...

other day I tried to remove the front part and put it on the gba ... don't worked, maybe because didin't fit well?
but I was so much afraid, because I tought it got stuck there XDDD I had some work to ger it off haha XD
Well I can try again .. if I oult find a random pirate (or original lol) Gba game for a good price to use it's shell

probably because it was not propertly connected..

anywho, optionally i think you could get a action replay\gameshark\xploder or some kind of linker\connector that works as a bridge like this one:

I think a fake cart to sue the shell would be cheaper ehehe .. anyway a flahscard with SD is pretty easier to use, =3=

thats what i meant with bridge..
guitar hero keyboard thing, has an adapter (included) for use on a regular DS, because they made the connection to fit on a ds lite... but i think it doesnt fit reglar carts :/

I just bought an EZ FLASH MICRO SD IV in chollomedia for a good price, I'm hoping to get the package for review.

P.S: http://www.chollomedia.es/epages/61488288.sf/es_ES/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61488288/Products/nds_ez

Just wanna take the time to praise chollomedia! Picked mine up for like 23 GBP! Was one of the cheapest places and turned out to be reliable and have good customer service! Check it out

Just to chime in here;
I purchased mine recently from Aliexpress since I'm from the Eastern end of the US, and, aside from taking four-ish days to process and ship the item (I sent the initial order request on a Friday), it's fairly quick for a third party and hoping to receive it next week. I'll be sure to give more feedback when I actually receive my EZ4.

Also, to the OP, GBA flashcarts really AREN'T expensive, usually at $35-$40 on the best deals. When compared to Ever drive carts at $100+ for even some of the lesser models, you have to realize that normally some of these won't be the price of a normal GBA game as you're essentially buying the potential for the entire GBA library. So, it only makes sense some of these devices are CRAZY expensive. I just ask you be glad that third parties that hold EZ Team products aren't charging more than they are, since direct from the manufacturer, they are around $70 I hear (Forgive me if I'm wrong).

...You (all) should be lucky to find sources who are selling the card....the availablilty is still/again difficult...and remember the times the ez-iv was not available for months...some guys have paid $100 to get one (2013/2014)....so you should don't ask where you can save ~5 Euro....or not....

There's nothing wrong with finding something for the cheapest you can. Everyone does that, regardless of how rare it is. That's what sites like Ebay are based around, buying something for what you'd want to pay for it.

The EZ-4 shortage was because of finding a new chip distributor I believe. They found a new one, so I don't think the shortage is bad.

It's good for people to keep buying the product, it'll show the company that people are still interested, and it'll keep them producing it as long as they have the ability to.

Yeah, I guess they are trying to sell off their stock until July 1st when selling flash cards will be illegal in Spain.

What a bunk law. That's like saying you can't own an mp3 player because people pirate mp3s.

...not really....Nintendo argues, that the main reason for using flashcards is for "illegal" reasons and it doesn't matter that you can do other things, too. And you (seller) have to find a court that follows your arguments....instead of Nintendo's arguments....

Very cost intensive experience with nearly no chance to win....
