GBA Flash Card recommendations

[AussieAtari]

I’m off to Hong Kong later this week and am planning to pick up a Flash Card for my GBA whilst I am there so I can play Colecovision games on the move.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations/warnings regarding the best/worst cards?

The SD Supercard is my personal favorite. It's compact, it runs DS games incredibly well (if you're inclined to download them), and there's more than enough storage space on one 256M SD card for any emulators and homebrews you'd like to run. The card does drain your system's battery and there's some slowdown in GBA games, but if you're buying it just for the legal stuff, you probably won't care.

this is somewhat related, does anyone have the GBA/DS movie player that is sold on Link Sang (sp?) ?

 

I know you can play Famicon Roms on there but when i put it in there i cant seem to make it work, do you know how to work this? I have the music, movies, and picture part working, but i wanted to get it all to work..

 

I dont know if this can play colecovision, i dont think it can, but for movies and music its recommended.

I have the movie player and it plays NES and Famicon Roms fine. Just put them into the root directory... there´s a rom size limit though (don´t remember how big they can be).

For GBA games, the flash card with the best hardware-level compatibility, i.e., the card which can run the most GBA games without hacks/patches, is the EFA-linker. It comes in two sizes 256Mb and 512Mb. The SuperCard might be nice for DS games, but it is really buggy and has slowdown issues for GBA games. Most GBA games also require patching to work with the SuperCard.
