    Default WTB: GBA Flash cart

    As stated in the title, I'm looking for a GBA flash cart. Preferably a 256mb or greater, but if the price is right on a 128, I'll buy it.

    I like janda because he ships locally (i.e. the states). So you get your stuff within a few days :P

    Sorry this is a bit off topic , but I have a question about the GBA flash cards.

    I don't really understand how they work , can someone explain them to me. I know that you can buy a card and play roms on it. If I bought the "GBA EZFlash II 256mbit PowerStar Devkit" , would that be all I need to buy , or would I need more to get that thing working.
    I ask this because I want to be able to play tons of NES games on my GBA , and I have heard you can have hundreds on only one 256 bit card.

    thanks for the links guys. I figure I'll bump this thread for a week or so and see if anybody has a used one that they want to unload. Then I'll fork over the extra money for a new one.

    edit: Imanerd, don't be confused the the 256mbit naming scheme. Most people are accustomed to mbytes. 256mbits is actually 32 megabytes, and I'd say the actual size of the roms is about 200kb, so you could fit about ~160 roms on that card.

    Heemmm

    Seems like youre a little confused too. The GBA games usually are 64 mbits, there are some 128 mb games and there are a FEW 256 mbit games.....So theres no way on earth you can fit 160 gba games on a 256 mbit flash card

    He was talking about NES Roms not Gba Roms. :P

    And yes you can fit around 100 or more on a 256 Flash .
    And you can fit 2-6 GBA Games depending on their size.
