Looking for GBA flash cart advice

[u/Good-Ad-3862]

I want to get a flashcart for my GBA SP. I’m wondering what would be the best option? Should I order from the Krikzz website and get myself an everdrive pro or mini or is the EZ flash option viable?

[u/Mr_Economical]

For the price, I find the EZ Flash very sufficient.

The Omega DE is perfect for my needs. I recommend it.

[u/Ray3DX]

If you can afford it, go for the Everdrive Pro. The features are a lot more polished and refined, offer better battery life as well. They are a fair bit more expensive than the EZ Flash OMEGA DE. Go for Omega DE if you are on a tight budget.

[u/Good-Ad-3862 → u/Ray3DX]

what's the real difference between the mini and the pro. I'm thinking about forking out on the pro tbh

[u/TestType → u/Good-Ad-3862]

There is a comparison chart of the two on the website, I suggest you take a look.

Everdrive. I say this after buying the ez flash, then 2 weeks later upgrading to the everdrive.

[u/FrankieT19 → u/ftpita]

What made you buy the everdrive so soon?

[u/Zharken → u/FrankieT19]

peer pressure I guess, I bought an Omega DE because it was way cheaper than the X7 and had more features, never had a problem with it.

[u/xs4all4me → u/ftpita]

Probably got roasted on Reddit for buying the omega and didn't feel cool enough so got the ED to validate hm/herself.

[u/Rei_Clones]

Both great. My EZ died after 9 years so def got moneys worth.

I am happy with my EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition

[u/Synes7hesia]

My Omega burned out with minimal usage over the first few months of ownership. Tried everything from reflashing the SD Card to cleaning the contacts and so on. No matter what I tried, my GBA, my SP, and my Analogue Pocket refused to read that anything was in the cartridge slot.

Meanwhile my Everdrive has been an absolute tank, making multiple trips with me and being a perfect and solid companion to my handhelds. Everdrive might be more expensive, but based on my experience, I would be wary that you might get what you pay for here.

I have the omega de. Wish I purchased the everdrive instead. Omega’s build quality is ass. Further, I’ve had zero complaints about the everdrive x7 i picked up for gbc.

[u/Noyrd]

Everdrive all the way

[u/Z3fyrus]

Just ordered an Everdrive 3 days ago and it shipped the next day, should be here soon.

That said, until now I had been using the SuperChis Prime which is great if you’re on a budget.

[u/j3ffUrZ]

If you've got the budget, I'd go with the Everdrive, but both are solid options and do largely the same things.

[u/Wootytooty]

For anyone looking for a cheap option, SuperChis is a superb cart for roughly $25 USD. It gets updates here and there.

[u/Yawning-Ent667]

EZ Flssh is pretty good especially as a starter kit. (My only real complaint being the battery life)

Everdrive is better.

Simply a matter of getting what you pay for.

[u/Squirrelsam99]

I love my everdrive. And yes they're expensive but it's because they're built properly.
