I just read a thread about this and I was hoping for some help. All I want to do is play NES games on my GBASP, and I was wondering exactly how I can do this. Which flashcard should I buy?
I have read about "PocketNES", how exactly does this work, and should I use it?

Please explain this whole thing to me and links would be helpful as to what I should be buying. I don't need a monster card (nothing near 1gb), because all I really want is around 50-100 NES games on it and that's it.

Thanks

I reccomend this:

http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_card/ez-flash-2-powerstar.htm

It comes with software that just translates your NES roms into GBA roms. Its based on the PocketNES anyhoo.

But no matter what one you buy, you get the pocket nes program, import some NES roms and it will convert to one GBA rom with a menu. Shoulder buttons open up a menu for save states and the all important scaling (scaling makes the sprites look crap, no scaling means you will miss bits off the top or bottom), I personally was not impressed with the emulation for the scaling issues.. but if you don't want a psp, and want NES roms on the go, you could get a lot worse than a GBA with PocketNES.

Thanks alot, but I was hoping to spend less than $75 on this total, and I noticed that this specific card is around the $100 mark. Are there any other cheaper options? I already have a Game Theory Admiral and was looking to replace it because it is basically junk.
