    Default Need help deciding on a GBA Flashcart

    I'm completely new to the world of these and would like to pick one up early this summer. Thanks to davidbrit, I've found the site "The Console Corner" that has a few things I'd like to pick up. Here's the page of GBA things:
    http://www.the-console-corner.com/gba.htm
    I'd like to keep the cost at $120 or lower (Which shouldn't be hard). Which one should I get, and why?

    (Note: I'd prefer it to have a USB cable hookup)
    Egbert, I miss you...

    I also found almost a dozen more threads of people who were selling units, you might search for those and see if they have any more input.

    Thanks much, most of my questions got answered from those (Note to self: use search function). But has anyone had any experience with the one here:

    It looks tempting.

    I got this one, it work great and came in like 3 days:

    http://www.mwelectronics.com/gba/flash2advance256.php

    With this company I got to pay with paypal rather than giving my credit card number to someone over seas. Also get one that has at least 256, with smaller ones you cant fit as much stuff.

    I'll also vouch for http://www.mwelectronics.com

    I got the 256mb one a couple of months ago, they sent it within 48 hours and it works great!

    Okay, now I'm sold on them. But now I need to figure out how to give them a Paypal payment since I've sworn off PP for good.

    Yes, this is the model which I bought 8 of. They're all still working today.

    Wait. Ironically, I think you were the one that told me about MW Electronics, CueWarrior.

    I gotta say thanks, the EZFA 256 rules.
