    I came across this while looking for a gba flash card and it looks pretty awesome. In the UK its quite hard to find stuff like this so to see worldwide shipping i was pretty excited.
    If anyone has had any experience with this product or dealextreme in general that would be great.
    Thanks

    i bought something like that before, and all it was, was a non-professionally moded GBA SP that didn't work properly. :(

    I wouldn't buy that if I were you. For one thing, the power supply wouldn't work in a UK socket. And it just looks very dodgy. If you have a DS Phat/Lite and you want to play GBA games, I'd recommend an EZFlash 3 in 1.

    All fakes are crap.

    The EZFlash 3 in 1 is not a good choice for a GBA flashcart. You can only effectively use it if you have a DS/DS Lite. If this user has a GBA, the EZFlash 3 in 1 will be useless to him/her

    Thanks for not reading my post...
    You even removed the part from the quote that made it make sense. Why?
    Well, that's a bit better.

    I don't know what you are talking about :) *whistles innocently*


    Anyway, the user was looking for a GBA Flashcart, not a NDS Expansion card. So a little more detail about the differences between the GBA Flashcart and an NDS Slot 2 expansion card is important.

    Ok, the one I suggested is only good if you have a DS Phat/Lite and a DS flashcart. If you only have a GBA, I can't personally recommend anything. Good enough, TirithPOOHEAD!? :p

    Lol. Look at the off-center screen.

    And they're labeling it as "Designer".

    This place is reliable. But remember, you need a DS flashcart to use it.

    shoptemp takes to long to ship. 5-6 weeks i was told. where as ishopvideogame.com ships in 7-14 days. free.....

    Never really takes over 2 weeks. Apparently people in Canada have got things in under 10 days. But they are definetly reliable and cheap.

    plus i once got a clone ak2i from shoptemp. shipped it back for a refund, and bought a good one from ishopvideogame.com......

    Really? Ok. But I've only heard good things about shoptemp so far.

    the ak2i i bought from there had the huge chip with a windowed back (fake) and the one i bought from ishopvideogame.com had a round chip under sticker and no windows (real)

    Ok, maybe I'll stop recommending them to people, or at least stop for the AK2i.

    because i've been sold about 7 different fakes from there, which were all genuine at ishop.

    Ok...
    I wasn't asking why I shouldn't recommend them, I was saying I'll stop recommending them.
