yea I think, but for a one that holds 128MB (1gbit) it will cost you over $180

When you think that you can get 1GB (about 10gbit) for the PSP for only $140, your getting 10 times more space at a cheaper price which will make the PSP Overall cheaper Very Happy

Yes they work, the best is the EZ-Flash III Powerstar, and currently the only version available is the 1gig one.

You can buy the older version, EZ-Flash II powerstar, it doesnt have as many bells and whistles, but you can buy much smaller carts (I recommend the 256 one), which cost under $100.

As to where...your on your own there, theres alot of conflicting reports as to which site will screw you, and which wont.

Also...theres no need for all that space on a GBA cart, its primarily used to store games, which are much smaller then the videos and music library you would be storing on a PSP memory stick. Unfortuntly GBA carts are expensive to make, so you end up paying for that. The good thing is, as far as I know, DS cards are much cheaper to produce, the only problem is the encryption they use, so for now we are stuck with the old GBA ones.

i have the EZ-Flash II powerstar 256MB (comes with its own linker for flashing) and it works fine on the DS. It cost around £50-£60 pounds in the UK ..just google for it


I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

You just dont fucking get it, do you? You don't need all that space for GBA stuff in the first place. Anyways, if you want a GBA flash CART, not card they are carts, just make sure you get one that isnt written direcly from a GBA. So basically, dont get a F2A, because for those to be written to you have to connect the cable to the GBA link port, which the DS does not have.

He doesnt want it for GBA, Its for the DS!! Yea maybe that small space is good enough for you, but what can you realy do with it?? 128MB is enough for about 1 - 2 Albums and its full where as the 1GB PSP card which is cheaper is enough for over 10 Albums, AND a High Quality movie.

Yea maybe you can live with that tiny 32MB of space you have on you GBA, But for MP3's / Movies / Games thats useless Wink

Mutantius - Woops I lied, Its actaully only $119 for the 1GB Smile - http://hardware.gamespot.com/x-15561-O-4-7

Let me repeat what I said.

You still dont fucking get it, do you? He wants the GBA flash cart for GBA games or homebrewed whatever, enough said.

We didnt buy the DS or GBA to play movies on or even listen to music. So having the kind of space that YOU want would be overkill.

And for games, its not useless buddy. The max size of most GBA games is 128mbit, not to mention I dont know anyone that would want to put more then 4 GBA ROMS on a cart at a time. Not to mention its still more then enough room for NES games and such.

So let me repeat it again.

YOU DONT NEED THAT KIND OF SPACE ON THE GBA OR DS
YOU DONT NEED THAT KIND OF SPACE ON THE GBA OR DS
YOU DONT NEED THAT KIND OF SPACE ON THE GBA OR DS.
