ez 3 in 1 is just a gba card that allows for a bit of storage (the minimum you'll need for the largest of gba games) and also does rumble (even though rumble kind of sucks and is fucking loud). I honestly wouldn't bother with the opera browser. More trouble than its worth.

Basically with your Cyclo it will load any gba games onto the ez 3 in 1 and play them from the slot 2 while transferring any save data from slot 2 to slot 1. It's kind of clever like that.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well I ordered EZ 3 in 1 plus and I have just been reading some compatibility issues with the existing Cyclo firmware. Something with PSRAM and NOR, which I don't know anything about. So hopefully I can still play GBA games and keep my saves.

Doesn't one of these (PSRAM or NOR) not keep your save after powering off? What is the point of that anyway, cause who doesn't want to save heh. I assume you can have multiple saves from multiple games with one of the rams?

Haven't had any trouble using my EZ3in1 with my Cyclo Evo. Don't think there's compatibility issue, so much as the memory issue where you can't play large roms without writing them to NOR. Which, you know, is simple and not a big deal at all, but trust the internet to make it seem like a flaw. Everyone who plays more than 5 minutes a time uses NOR anyway.

Also yes, you can write a rom to NOR and the cart will function like a regular GBA cart till you write something else on it. You could put the cart into a regular GBA (assuming you don't have the tiny EZ) and it'd work. I backup my saves every now and then just to be safe though.

I said PLUS. Its a little different supposedly.

Additional Spam:
And so if I want to play two GBA games at a time. I have to backup the original save, as the second game save will write over the save from the first game?

I'm sure I will figure everything out when I get my hands on it anyway =p

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ah, well I'm not sure if that's a completely different model or do they just mean the smaller version that doesn't stick out of a Lite (which I have). Reading some discussion, they mainly complain about browser and rumble support, which wouldn't be a big loss, GBA seems to work.

Another complaint seems to be having to use GBAExploader, which I personally don't see as a problem as GBAExploader is great anyway. You can load roms through the Cyclo interface, but backing up saves and such is recommended through GBA Exploader.

Old Mar 2, 2009, 09:34 AM #456 of 515
From what I understand it's great to use the GBAExploader to clear your PSRAM and NOR but if you're using a Cyclo you'll have issues loading and playing games via GBAExploader. At least that's the case with Mother 3. Clear your NOR with GBAExploader and load the rom into NOR with the Cyclo's built-in GBA utility. That way you know your GBA saves will be synced with your Cyclo and not get constant save errors.

How ya doing, buddy?

I played through the whole game after loading it to NOR with GBAExploader and didn't get a single issue =|
(played a number of other titles using SRAM while the NOR was still loaded with the rom as well)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've had nothing but trouble using GBAExploader. I know Rudolph is supposedly working with Team Cyclops to get it working better though. Maybe a newer version has come out.

Additional Spam:
Yeah, Q, do you have the built-in GBA loader for the Cyclo turned off by any chance?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I seem to have the GBA support BETA enabled (v1.41 firmware). I remember I originally loaded the Mother 3 rom to NOR using the cyclo, as I hadn't even heard of GBAExploader. Upon realising I needed something to actually handle my roms and saves, I got the GBAexploader and loaded Mother 3 through that. I also played Rhythm Tengoku from NOR before buying the actual cart, so it's not just Mother 3.

Otherwise I've loaded smaller roms to SRAM and both the cyclo's loader and GBAExploader have worked without a problem.

How ya doing, buddy?

Old Mar 2, 2009, 11:16 AM #460 of 515
But did you send the game rom through GBAExploader to NOR or did you send the game rom to NOR using the built-in GBA support via the Cyclo? Loading the rom and sending to NOR are completely different things and depending on how you do it both the GBAExploader and built-in GBA support will get mighty pissed at you when you try to load your save data.

Let me rephrase that, then. I originally "sent" the rom to NOR through the cyclo menu, but after installing GBAExploader, I erased and "resent" the rom to NOR through GBAExploader. No issues whatsoever. After that I've "sent" Rhythm Tengoku to NOR through GBAExploader and played it without issues.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well I'm more then a little late posting here but I thought I should make some input since I got the EDGE for christmas.

I haven't used other flash cards before but I'm willing to wager this is one of the basic models out there since there's no extras like a turbo feature, but it emulates fine, can take up to 32 gig cards, has built in cheat codes and seems pretty compatable with the homebrews too even though it's a cheap card.

I've read about people complaining saying the cart sticks out but that's never happened to me. The only problems I've had with it so far is sometimes I have to reinsert it before it kicks in, and it seems to write save files in it's own format that no other emulator can read.

How ya doing, buddy?

News on the Homebrew scene, the long time broken BEUP MSN Messenger client has been updated and can be downloaded here

Features include fully customisable avatars, emicons and even the touch screen keyboard if you have the patience to mess around with it.

According to what I've read, none of them.

However, the only breakthrough I've seen is through DSi in Australia.

[ source ]

Edit: The problem with that, Ryu, is that the DSi isn't out here in the US. None of us would really know.

I guess you need to read more places because there's cards that works since it was release in Japan. XP

Cards out there that have an "i" on their name works... for now (ie. Acekard2i). But with the DSi "new features" future firmware upgrade can render the flashcard unusable.

I swear Nintendo said all the dsi games would be backwards compatable? If so then that means all you're paying for with dsi is the right to have downloads a camera and a SD card slot. Not to sound like the thread title, but I'm pretty sure at least 2 of those things on that list are already covered by homebrew =/

Well, I doubt homebrew will allow you to access DSiWare, which is the biggest draw IMO. The DSi is also smaller, so that might be a factor for people with inferior pocket space. :P

Apparently they only work for Japanese DSis though, as they're incompatible with European ones (I think RYU is in Germany). So there's no guarantee they'll work with US units either.

Apparently it works now (including Europe too!). I'm sure other flashcard will follow.
