I'm impressed with my experiences of this flashcart so far, even though it's a bit pricey. Compared to the original model, it's larger and has a more premium feel to it.
The micro SD card does still need to be pushed in place, as it does not use a springloaded mechanism. You also need to hit a physical switch to change it from GBA to the DS dual slot 2 mode.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase and I look forward to revisiting the Gen 3 Pokemon games on here.
Very happy with the purchase and dealing with you guys cheers!
Seems like a great battery but mine wasn’t quite the same thickness as the OEM and the battery cover bulges a bit now.
The battery doesn’t itself look bulging, it’s just thicker, it’s fairly uniform, not pillow shape.
Not a huge deal but also would be nicer to have it flush.
Quite impressed with the GBA Ez-Flash cart. It is well constructed, easy to set up and an intuitive menu system with many useful features. It is a bit pricey up front, however considering the high cost of physical retro games, it will be well worth it in the long term.
Ordered this as a I needed it arrive by the weekend to work on my project! Ordered on Wednesday morning and arrived on Thursday afternoon!
Quality is superb and is compatible with the HISPEEDIDO AMOLED screen.
Fantastic product and great customer support. Staff sent me replacement buttons for free as the previous order had incorrect buttons. Quick replies and fast shipping. Thanks again!
One of the easiest installed one can do
What a great mod. Super easy for beginners with an absolute great outcome. It's a good way to keep our old tech in rotation for the next generation.
works great :)
Fast shipping, as described, good price
I wasn't prepared for just how good this display looks. Photos don't do it justice. The display was easy to install and came with everything required to drop it straight in.
Shell is very high quality and has a nice glossy finish. Have purchased multiple FP shells from Retro gaming now
Amazing replacement screen, its nice since I broke the ribbon cable on my original screen falling down the stairs
If you buy the GBA Laminated 3 inch IPS screen kit with the laminated-IPS-ready GBA shell, then this USB battery should definitely be on your shopping list. I assembled the 'NEW' Funnyplaying GBA screen kit and proceeded to use IKEA rechargeable AAs as before, but noticed that the battery warning light would come on almost straight away, especially with screen on bright. Perhaps the low-voltage threshold is reached quicker with the laminated mod. The USB battery seems to have solved this. Oh, and it fits like a glove in the IPS-ready shell. No cutting or trimming required.
For comparison, I have another GBA with an earlier non-laminated IPS screen running the IKEA rechargeables which doesn't suffer the same low voltage issue, and lasts for ages on the AAs.
Get a clear or frosted battery cover so you can see the charge status lights without taking off the battery cover. The PCB looks great - put it on show!
I'm not sure why the heatsink must be applied over the battery charge lights guide on the PCB. Was it an afterthought?
This kit was easy to install.
Super crisp screen and easy to adjust the settings.
Firmware was easy to upgrade, there is firmware to replace the boot logo.
Tested and installed.
