Flash based devices obsolete

Does any one else think the same?

They are extremly expensive per Mega byte and they arent expandable
Moreover they dont suppourt FAT therefore killing media playback (moonshell would be very limited with its ROM fs)

so why do they make them!

I dont see the reason for all the hype surrounding the G6 etc...

They perform better. But I still don't like them.

I have a flash cart and I still use it and love it. EZ Flash 3 rocks!

have a xrom 512 for gba, works flawlessly for my daughter, only a few games did not work with the littlewriter software. Could use other but why. In fact with goomba on it she just loves it all the old DK and Mario games.

The G6 uses the FAT filesystem.

Yea, but the new drivers havent been wrote for it yet. So none of the good homebrew works for it yet.

At any rate, people that don't care about media playback but do care about GBA support are more likely to get a conventional flashcart.

I think that even a 512 megabit capacity low-priced flash cart would be a perfectly good deal. I'd just use it for GBA stuff, which is so small you don't need much capacity to hold lots of games.
