List of SD card hack, carts, alternative replacements to CD drive.
opt2not:
I got my pre-order in for the Everdrive GBA and cannot wait to get it in my hands!
I was running one of the newer EZ-Flash IV's, the version that uses MicroSD and I'm really looking forward to replacing it with the Everdrive GBA. It was fine for being a cheaply priced $35 cart, obviously built in China due to it's cheap plastic case, components and cumbersome software.
From what I've gathered here's a list of upgrades the Everdrive has over the EZ-Flash:
- Better menu interface for selecting games
- No cumbersome writing software needed (EZ-Flash IV requires you to use EZ-Client, which patches roms for the save functions and in some cases the functionality of some games to work)
- Much less power consumption
- Real-time clock support
- Fast Loading (most games load within 1 - 2 seconds (my EZ-Flash takes FOREVER to flash)
- SD, SDHC and SDXC cards are supported. Tested with micro-SD cards up to 64GB -- FAT32 support
- All save types supported, no ROM patching required
- High compatibility. Near to 100% compatibility with GBA game library
- Sturdy plastic shell (unlike the EZ-Flash IV's that feels like it'll crack every time you pull the cart out of your GBA)
The price is much higher though so YMMV.

Thanks I was waiting for your input. I wasn't sure what the upgrades were and I know you have been fairly active on the forums over there. I'm a big supporter of krikzz products. I just really want the sd2snes and the N8 before I get this one.

You will not be disappointed. The SD2SNES is so great.
I don't have the N8, since I went with the PowerPak from Retrousb, so I can't really comment on how good it is, but I'm sure it's great too. :)

So it looks like there will be a new USB drive coming out for the Saturn.
