EZF Advance with reatime clock. It was cheap, it is reliable, it suits my needs!

XG1 which I understand is essentially a direct copy of the EZFlash.

I used to have EZF Advance, but I sold it to a friend. It's fairly reliable but the software is kind of crappy. Plus, it does not give you an option to omit the menu when loading only one rom image. The fact that the internal battery recharges itself with every data transfer is a plus though.

I recently got a Flash2Advance Ultra 256Mbit cart. One word: impressive. That is what I thought when I first opened up the packaging. The cartridge came in a sleek brushed aluminum cigarette-holder-style case. Compare that to the cheap mushed up box that my EZFA cartridge came in (the cartridge was also wrapped half-assedely in bubble wrap)! The software is really impressive too; and there is lots of it as well as a few gba movie demos. The only thing that hurts this cart is that its battery can't be recharged and will be useless to me in about 5-7 years (for save data).

Disable the 'Multi ROM' option, and it should remove the loader.

Flash2Advance Normal bought in 2002!!

It's a shame that there is so poor support nowadays for this cart! And it's dev. the most represented gba flash card!

flash2advance I think. It says:

FLASHADVANCEPRO
256M

on a sticker on the cart. Maybe a visoly one? Bought it 2001 or 2002 I think.
