Best Game Boy Color flash cart?

[BEERS AND VIDEOS]

I have an EZ flash cart for my GBA, but have yet to find a reliable, non-pain-in-the-ass Game Boy or Game Boy Color flash cart to play some translated classics. Anyone have a suggestion?

I'd like to know this too.

Bung's Doctor GB card (later re-branded Mr Flash). It gets flashed through a LPT (printer) port via a GB Xchanger (later re-branded Flash Linker). They're kinda rare these days, but I was able to find one a couple of years ago for a decent price. Probably the best place to ask is on the Tototek forums.
For higher capacity, and the same compatibility/reliability, there was an adapter for GBA Flash Advance carts called the GB Bridge that would let you put GB/GBC roms on a GBA cart and interface it with a Gameboy.

Those are the best quality ones, but using them can be a pain in the ass if you're using Windows XP or later due to the way newer operating systems interface with the Printer port on your computer (if you even have one). I keep an old laptop with Windows 98se for all my printer port flash devices, tho with the right drivers/software you can use them in Windows XP (usually).

I haven't had all that many problems with the newest one that came out and is readily available - the USB 64m Smart Card, but it eats batteries in GBM, GBL, GBP and GBC really quick and doesn't work at all in my Gameboy Player. It works fine in my Super Gameboy and Super Gameboy 2, tho sometimes doesn't boot on the first try. It is really easy to use; Just install the driver, plug it into a USB port and load the roms into it's software.

personally, i don't think a gbc flash cart is worth the money. from what i've gathered they drain your battery like crazy, they don't run that well, and they're expensive. for the amount of games on gbc that are actually worth playing it's probably better to just get each individual game.

if you're doing it strictly to play the games, there's an app called Goomba Color that you can install on your gba flash cart that will run gb/gbc games perfectly. http://www.dwedit.org/gba/goombacolor.php

I want one in order to play hard-to-get GBC games like Shantae on my GB Player. I don't trust software-based emulation to be nearly as "perfect" as hardware-based emulation. Plus, setting up emulators for GBA is a pain in the behind
