[piracy-related site removed by mod]

It has a comparison chart all the carts as well as a little intro for those who don't know what one is/looks like and the general way to use one.

ehy a private message perhaps?

#17714 - dagamer34 - Sat Mar 13, 2004 1:38 am

Oh, that site pertains to piracy?

Sorry, didn't know.

It did have a good comparison on the types of flash carts though. Oh well.
I'll just some up the info on there.

A flash cart works by using client software to flash data onto the cart.

There are 2 types of flash cart linkers:

1) The flash cart is put into a linking unit and data is flashed onto the cart. The downside of these types of carts are that you constantly have to take the cart in and out when doing some sort to development testing. It wears down the connectors.

2) The flash cart linker that uses your GBA by using the multiboot function of the GBA to flash data onto the cart while it's plugged in the GBA. It uses a cable that goes from the GBA to your PC. This one is common now as it doesn't wear down the connectors when compared to type 1.

Some linkers use the parallel port, and some use the USB port. USB linkers are known to be faster but have sometimes have driver issues.

PogoShell is a little app designed to be like Windows on the PC. It manages ROMs and saves on your cart. Only works with F2A and XG carts.

Anything else?

just one more question..... wuts the difference beetween having 256 mb or 512? is it worh to spend the extra 50 euro to get the bigger one? thanks in advance for your help

#17752 - tepples - Sun Mar 14, 2004 3:44 am

If you're going to be using your flash cart for both games and music, then it may be worth it to get the bigger one.

#17805 - SicilianBoy - Mon Mar 15, 2004 12:54 am

it looks like the 256 mb one will pretty do the job...thanks for the tips guys...i still have to figure where to order the flash card,i dont know which site is the most safe(= where i am sure my money wont get stolen...).this is hard to figure out... :(

#17821 - Lupin - Mon Mar 15, 2004 1:44 pm

check the retailers feedback section.

It also depends on where you live, lan-kwei.de delivers in various countries, the also have quite good prices. I ordered there, you could just mail them and ask if they could deliver to you

I will probably buy one from lan-kwei because it looks much cheaper than the other places i have found.

#21183 - Lupin - Tue May 25, 2004 2:32 pm

The prices are without VAT, you will have to pay VAT when it arrives (in germany it is 16%...). If in your country the VAT is low (16% isn't too high actually) you can save a good heap of money...

So, 17.5% i guess. Could you tell me how this works? How do you pay the VAT and to whom?

#21204 - ampz - Tue May 25, 2004 8:57 pm

In sweden the customs office bills you the VAT plus a customs fee.
Sometimes they miss a package, and in that case: no VAT ;-)

It probably works in similar ways in other countries.

Actually, there is a third type.
EFA has a USB connector built into the cart, just connect it to the PC using a standard USB-mini cable and you can download software directly to the cart. Advantage is high speed, disadvantage is that you still have to remove the cart from the GBA before it can be connected to the PC, but it does not wear down the connector as much as a linking unit.

Pogoshell works with X-ROM carts as well.
