I want to buy the EZ-Flash advance kit and i want to know where the best deal is. The best i have is 75 $US from www.success.hk.com, which is good for me, but with air mail shipping it's 88 $US (which means 115 $Can. for me). Do you know a better deal ?

hey man, where in Canada do you live?
I am also looking into buying a EZF 128meg. I was also looking at www.success.hk.com, it seems to be the cheepest site. I was also looking on ebay, some people are selling theirs for like 90 for the 256meg.
On thing you have to worry about is the border taxes, as you said, its only 115 canadian, but once it crosses the border, there mayt be additional charges, I live in toronto and I know that once it gets here from hongkong, it will be a lot more then 115

Why do you say a 128 mb card is a waste ? I need this for a project i'm doiing...only 32 mb would already be enough.

Well, the flash cards are in megabits right? so if you get a 128 card thats only 16 megs, you cant really do much with that. Also, the 256 is like 20 bucks more, so you might as well go all out,
If you get the 128 thats 16megs, and then the booter or your OS will also take up a meg or two, so your really not left with that much to work with
just some thoughts
:)

Define "do much." I made Tetanus On Drugs with just 160 KB.

ok ok, i overexasurated a bit.. but the small price difference does make the 256 a better buy. Thats what i ment to imply

Traveler : Are you sure it's 256 megabits and not megabytes...because megabits is rarely used.
#13637 - tepples - Thu Dec 18, 2003 10:41 pm
GBA flash carts are always measured in megabits on the box.

Almost everything to do with ROM chips or images is measured in megabits, in fact. =)

$99 for either EZ - Flash Advance 256Mbit or EZ-Flash II PowerStar 256Mbit. Cheapest I can find.
#14522 - dagamer34 - Wed Jan 07, 2004 11:50 pm
Seems like the EZF-Advance is the best bet for you as you won't wear down the cart by taking it in and out of the linker. Also the USB-GBA/SP cable doubles as a multiboot cable for testing code quickly.
Look at this site if you need more help:

By the way, I own an EZF-Advance 256Mb Kit and I am really happy with it.
