I didn't see any posts about this cart and its review yet, but it looks impressive.  According to the review, it pretty much lived up to all their promises, and more.  I guess it justifies the high price.  But I'm probably not going to get one, I just got a new cart, so its bad timing on my part.

Anyways, heres the review:  http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=38174

It got 9.5/10, it lost .5 because it is expensive, limited to 512MB, has an exposed USB port (which is on the pros list too...), and lastly because so far it has a total of 1 game that doesn't work...

we have a thread in the general section for some reason :P and i think function wise its pretty much 10/10 but the huge turn off is the 125$ w/o shipping just for 512MB.  The price is going to kill this thing.

hm, just to check, can you use trimmed roms with this? cuz pokemon really only needs about 68 megabytes.... and this would give more space

($125 is a huge turn off.... perhaps cheaper alternatives will come in the future! ... and it will work with future nintendo handhelds... the NDS2? lol)

Yea, I hope cheaper altrenatives come, or a price drop (a MAJOR one).  I guess Supercard Team and the M3 team are probably trying to mimic it as we speak.  Hopefully they'll have a cheaper variation of it, with external memory.

our best hope right now is acecard.  Too bad all their stuff is in engrish right now.

What's acecard?  Can you link us?

NVM I found it, seems kinda fake doesn't it?  But if its real, looking good!

I do'nt think it is.  They have a whole 17min. video on having it work.  Its just not ready for manufactoring yet.  They are perfecting a model i think.

Can you link me to the vid?
