If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

After searching the web for a bit I came across a version of the linker program that is in english.  It also burns the roms with the english names so I'm all set then.

Got a new question now though...  Can I put games on the thing without removing the old ones?  When I hit the delete button it doesn't delete the currntly highlighted rom but the one at the bottom of the list.

just the way it works.  you learn to put the roms, that you want on their longer, on first.

Crash,

Is the Powerstar worth getting? If so, which one did you pick up? I've been thinking about getting the 512mb but dont know if it'll be enough for the entire NES collection + a few GBA games.

How much was yours, where did you get it, and would you have gone with another flash cart?
Signature tags are dumb.

let me say that I like this card very much.  Its quality.  With that said, I use it alot for DS games and homebrew and its not big enough to hold more than a single game, two if they are real small.

I plan on buying the M3, which is a full featured setup for roms, homebrew and audio\video as well.

This seems really pricey for a 512megabit (64megabyte) card. I got an M3 last week and it's great (I used to have a 128megabit Flash Advance Pro card which is too small for anything these days).

Incidentally, I just put together an Excel spreadsheet listing all GBA roms, their numbers (using pocketheaven numbering), country, rom size (in megabits) and save type. It comes in handy if you're trying to figure out if a game will fit on your flash card or if you want to backup a save.

I love the 512 mb one I got.  I got it from Winsunx.com, which turned out to be an excellent deal, IMO.  I can fit all my favorite NES games, a couple of ebooks and several roms on there.

Great battery life and a quality product, just like they said in all the reviews I read.

Cheers,
KenToad

I guess it's not realy a problem but rather I'm wondering exactly how I save the game saves and load them back onto the cart if that is posible.

In particular, I have super mario advance 2 close to the end of the list and I beat it already but my GF hasn't yet so I would like to put some new games on the cart but I'm worried that if I remove the game she will loose her progress...  So I need to know what to do for sure before I go ahead and do something and cause a fight!  :P

start the ez client with cart in the reader.
select teh game you want to save.
click Bak saver
browse to where you want to save it.

to reload it you re-write the game, then after its done, you select teh game and click write saver.  browse to where you saved it and it will load quickly
