$140 Canadian?? Holy crap that sucks... but it does look good, i just wish it came with 1 GB and then id be sold

[Quay Cur]

have they given any word on if it'll do GBA games yet? Or how much power it uses?

i think being 4gb its not a bad price at all. i mean if you bought the passme, and a supercard lite, or other card that supports miniSD cards, it would be a whole hell of a lot more expensive. but i would be looking for something this big to load multiple games or apps on to. About what Quay Cur said though, i am also wondering about power consumption.

and what about all the gba games. there will need to be an emulator written for the nds so it will be able to run gba games. maybe if there was one though the games would fill up the screen.

Is it nessesarily 'better' than any other flash card?
I have a supercard lite on the way. it doesn't 'stick out' and I have a passcard that doesn't 'stick out'.
and the supercard lite's memory is expandable (i.e. get a bigger sd micro card) Im sure they will have sd micro in larger than 2Gigabyte soon.

and will this new flashcart support .nes .gg .sms .gb .gba etc.... without any extra software?

just myt 2cents.

(or maybe im just made that i went out and got the supercard lite just 2 days before i found out about this.....)

i forgot about support for the files. it would have to support the files natively on its firmware. you are right some of the other cards you have to convert them over. great observation!

512 mb people 4 gbit

ohh crap....i didn't even really look at that....wow that is kind of expensive then...wow!!!

thanks man

[Quay Cur]

not too far in price from a G6 Lite and Passcard 3, considering that this essentially combines the two.

[The Hombrew Hunter]

But possibly noooooooooo gba support.

Making "unsightly gba carts" better.

Besides. Being able to use gba files on onl gba are cool.
