R4/Supercard for a GBA SP?

[IanE]

Is there one? I'm going travelling, selling my PSP because it's not suitable for it and buying a GBA SP because I want to get into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance again, but, I don't want loads of carts to lug around so need something like the Supercard/R4 for it!

Recommendations?

Yes there is.. www.easybuy2000.com

Ah. It appears they have sold out of the x-rom. Shame I didn't see this before, as I sold mine today. Soz.

Wow, prices are steeper than DS Lite solutions.

I've still got my old Flashlinkers but, alas, they use a parallel port and my PC doesn't have one of those ancient things.

All is not lost if that's your only option.

The M3 SD should work fine on a GBA SP. I used to have one before i got an R4 and it worked fine on my brothers SP (obvioulsy he could gba stuff and not any of the ds stuff on it). In fact I might still have it, let me know if your interested.

I've just bought an EZ-Flash IV from Total GBA

No idea if its any good because I'm still waiting for my Mini-SD card from play but I've heard good things about it and is pretty easy to get hold of.

Nice one. Do let me know how you get on with that thing.

Mini-SD card finally arrived today. My EZ4 arrived without any software so you will need to follow this tutorial and download the appropriate software to firmware update the card and load games onto it. Although I bought it from a UK site the software was in Chinese on startup, to change this on the main menu go to fourth option and then the second option on the next screen to change the language to English. Games take around 20s to load although you can load them into SRAM for faster startup (32MB games must be loaded into the SRAM to play) and the card does not saves games on the fly, the are backed up next time you turn the cart on. Overall I'm impressed and would recommend it to anyone looking for a GBA flashcart.

Thanks for the tutorial, covers the one I bought on here now!

The EZ Flash IV client linked to in that tutorial is out of date and will cause some issues with saving in certain games. Download the latest version from here
