My first flash cart was the EZFA A.K.A. EZ Flash Advance not to be confused with EZflash line of carts.
It was an interesting one as I had to use a GBA to USB cable to burn data on the cart using the GBA itself.
Sadly support for it was dropped a little early as SD card style flash carts started to take the lead in hte flash cart market.
Which means that the software it uses won't run on newer Windows systems. I.E. Vista.
It also won't run EarthBound3(english patched) due to it being a kilobyte too big. >.<

I used to use it for DS games during the early DS on GBA cart days and never picked up DS games again after that untill I had my CycloDS and EZflash 5 carts.
I have an EZflash 3in1 (second model) gba cart too but I busted it trying to replace the battery.

My first bunch (about 4 or 5) of flashcarts were ALL duds. Basically, they could only play roms for a few minutes before they froze. Some where supercarts and some were r4's. The guy I bought it from did refund me for all of them tho, so it wasn't that bad. Then he gave me an m3 simply, and it worked perfectly and I was very delighted. Went to all my friends and bragged. It was fun.

My first flashcart was/is my R4

And I'm not gonna buy another, because it works almost perfect.

My first flash cart was the EZFA 256Mb, with the real time clock. I was impressed by the quality and ease of use and still use it today.

Snap, mine's still flying too

My reaction: holy shit that was quick. 2 day delivery on the 29th of December? Nice.

X-ROM 512. Wonderful GBA cart. Replaying Mother 3 in english on it and a GBA:SP.

A Game's N Music. Not really a flashcart though, but the idea of the SD slot led me to flashcarts with SD slots. Thank Datel for their crappy products and flashcart idea.

So 1st real flashcart was a fake r4. lul contradiction. But the fake R4 was still good (and my friends are still apparently using their fake R4's, not knowing it's fake).

I got my R4 about 2 years ago and it's still going strong, haven't had any trouble with it ^.^

 

[bach3609]

my first one was a r4i clone.When i first got it I was like "OMG OMG OMG WOOOOOOOTTTT =DDDDDD" and was jumping off the walls. Now i will just go with the ak2i and stick with it. I have a few other flashcarts too,like the m3i0, but i don't really use em as much as the ak2i.

hey i just found my iplayer in my school bag

wait are you still using it? Or can i have it? =)

 

[jan777]

when i got my R4 (it was the best flashcart then)

i only thought free games..DS HEAVEN! lol

 

[Excellentnuke]

The first one I used was my friend's TTDS. I'm not sure if it was real, but it worked fine. My original reaction was, "Awesome! I can play games for free!"

Now I've gotten passed that and am starting to look into homebrew for my M3i.

 

[RupeeClock]

My first reaction was my brother's Supercard MiniSD, back before the R4 was ever conceived.
I thought it was cool that you could do that, but wasn't impressed by the long loading times it had.

Some time later I heard of the R4, I got it, and I was blown away. I had fun downloading games, but eventually I felt guilty about it and only downloaded the games I bought. Then I found out about dumping games and started dumping the games I bought.

And that's that.

my first bootleg flashcart was a old gameboy 30 in one or god knows how much it had in it, it used to stick out of the gameboy
i remember also copying floppies from my amiga 500.

recent flash carts was the gba EZF advance II 256Mbit and then my first ds flashcart was a ninjapass X9 man those things were hyped.

man, these forums are slow.

 

[kristianity77]

my first cart was a F2A cart for the GBA (think i used it in a GBA SP at the time) Cant remember the size of it but it used to hold maybe 10 GBA games at a time, no more than that. From there and onto the old phat DS i have an M3 something or other, with a big clunky pass me thing attached. Those were the days.

Now though with my DSi im using an acekard 2i and to be fair,its the best one ive had so far i think, coupled with an 8GB card. Incidently, has anyone yet tried a 16GB Micro SD with any of these?? Do they work? Im thinking of upgrading!!

My first flashcart was an EZ Flash III 2Gbit I think I paid 80$ for it, now the linker is dead and I learned it by trying to flash roms on it, so I can't use it anymore.
