Any interest in inexpensive R4 NDS flash cards?

FWIW,

I bought the M3 DS Simply (slot 1) from realhotstuff.com...shipped quickly and cheaply.  I picked up a generic 1GB microSD card (PQI) from Frys for $17.99 after rebate.  It has worked flawlessly for me.

Also of note...most of the older flash carts (with built in ram) were expressed in Megabits so a 512M flash cart was not 1/2 gig of storage as you may think...more like a 1/16 of a gig (could store about 8-10 GBA games), whereas with the new microSD based cards, the storage is expressed in Megabytes so a 1GB sd card actually stores 1GB of information (about 25 NDS games).

Having used a passcard and gba cart in the past, these slot-1 solutions are a dream.

Does the DS have to be flashed or have a PassMe?

With the Slot 2 device, you can do both NDS and GBA roms.  But you either need to have a passcard or flash the DS.  But the Slot 1 (M4) device could work as the passcard, and is supposed to be a little easier at setting up your NDS roms (drag and drop, vs loading them with loader software to create saves).  Either way, its not that difficult.

Good!  I don't take credit card anyhow. :)

But seriously, if GBA is a requirement, then the Slot 2 device is the way to go.  It is the same size as a GBA cart, so it diesn't stick out or anything.  And flashing a DS isn't very hard to do.  Many people here have done it, and would probably be willing to help someone out.

But if you can do without the GBA rom support, then the slot 1 device is definately slicker.
