Is there a way to do this in the new API without using SpriteEntry? Thanks.

You can always check the docs and the source. I recommend the latter, as you will learn a lot about the APIs. :^)

Nothing in either that I could find, of course it's always impossible I over looked it.

I may have forgotten you can flip sprites...in all honesty i am not 100% on the new sprite API being the correct direction. oamSet is pretty cumbersome and I am going to take another look at how oam properties are handled...i may back out and revert to direct manipulation of an oam table copy using the sprite entries.
One way or another, sprite flipping will be enabled in the next release.

@ dovoto: Honestly, I think a sprite API is what people need, especially when they are starting out. It's a pain to write a usable sprite system, let alone understanding the hardware, that's why your API is a very good thing.
I have yet to evaluate some libraries (two come to mind), though.

Perhaps i misspoke, i did not mean i planned on dropping the API but altering it. Its the oamSet(500 arguments) that i am really dissatisfied with and feels cumbersome to work with. I am going to toy with a few other approaches before the next release.
Ideas are welcome.

Well, I'm not sure if anyone else was interested in this but me, but I figured it out.
oamMain.oamMemory[id].hFlip = false; // does the trick
Found a post by Sylus101 on the devkitPro forums that pointed me in the right direction. Thanks All.
