XG Flash - Development Tool for the GBA Console

Posted by Hemos on from the working-in-the-small-world dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The XG Flash (EZ Flash) is yet another addition to the growing Gameboy Advance development scene. With the XG Flash (EZ Flash) being one of the smallest versions of other popular GBA development systems. The XG Flash is a different version of the EZ Flash for the GBA as they are both 100% compatible with both the software and the hardware. By this we mean that you can use an XG Flash "linker" with an EZ Flash card and vice-versa. The biggest feature of the XG Flash is that it is probably the smallers flash and linker combination on the market today. The XG Flash Flash Card is the same size as an original GBA Cart and it is also hyped by the manufacturer as the smallest and fastest in the world. One of the better features of the XG Flash is that it can be upgraded simply by the software and therefore it appears to never be out-dated. Another good choice for developers both homebrew and professional. Read the rest over at Console Hardware News"

  1. A blatant ad? by psyconaut · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I dunno about you, but this kinda strikes me a blatant ad.

    I love the way this is pitched as being a "development system". It's a flash device....with common uses being to trade pirated games online and download them to your GBA.

    How many people are really going ot be using this device to load their own games into a GBA? Probably a very, very small number...
