Re: GBA Flashcarts
M3 Perfect is truly the best card. It's also the most expensive and is hard to find new. It has Real Time Save, Real Time Clock (for Pokemon games) and there's no lag.noiseredux wrote: -EZFlashIV or SuperCard
I also have EZ Flash IV which is ok. It has a slow loader and lacks the Real Time Clock/Save.
The word I've heard on the SuperCard is that some games lag on it.

Re: GBA Flashcarts
man I love the GBA Movie Player. Of course it's limited. You can't play ROMs or most homebrew. But the emulators you CAN use work so great. It's wonderful for NES, SMS, GBC, etc.sevin0seven wrote:- Are they compatible with the Game Boy Player? - not all

I've never used an M3. But honestly, I'm not the most knowledgable of flash cards. I only use mine for homebrew or like translated games.

Re: GBA Flashcarts
For me, the Real Time Save is the key feature. It helps for some of the older, difficult games like Link to the Past which I played using the actual cart. It's great to be able to save right before a boss battle so you don't have to do the whole dungeon over again to reach the same point. Yes, it's a cop out but I don't have the time to be doing the dungeon over and over again.noiseredux wrote: I've never used an M3. But honestly, I'm not the most knowledgable of flash cards.

Re: GBA Flashcarts
I dont know? Mine is version 2 (CF Card) (I got it from you!) haha. It can only play certain emulators that were actually made for it as far as I can tell. I started a thread about this a while back actually.sevin0seven wrote:
