/v/ - Video Games

Yes

of course, fellow consumer

>Everdrive Advance

Probably the best one, but it doesn't entirely-supplant the EZ Flash IV in terms of compatibility, it's expensive, and the cart sticks out of the unit.

>EZ Flash IV

Relatively affordable and can basically play the GBA's entire library. Though games sometimes have to be loaded onto the nand memory instead of the SD card to boot properly.

>Super Card (and basically everything else)

Cheapo piece of shit plagued with compatibility problems and won't even work on every model of GBA/DS. Avoid.

Oh fuck flashcart thread?

I ordered a R4 Gold Pro 2018 for my n3ds which comes in the mail tomorrow.

What games do you reccomend that I get on it? Or just judge my shit taste

Also can I get DS romhacks to work on a flashcart?

I've already downloaded

>PKMN White1/2

>Megaman Starforce Series

>Radiant Historia

>SM64DS

>Spectrobes 1/2

>Castlevania Aria of Sorrow

>Castlevania Order of Eccelsia

>Trauma Center 1/2

>Ghost Trick Gonna play this first because of a play the game under your post thread a few months ago, I just like to play on origonal hardware instead of emulating

>Metroid Prime Hunters

>Mario Hoops 3 on 3

>GTA Chicktown wars

>Chrono Trigger

>Golden Sun DD

>All of the Dragon Quest games for 3ds

Ive already played SJ, KH 358 1/2 days, and TWEWY

I dont like EO.

Are there any games that I missed that I should try out?

>>14841625

As far as I know, most romhacks do work, just be sure to doublecheck.

I also recommend Feel the Magic, FFCC Echoes of Time, Custom Robo Arena, and The Sims 2 DS.

>>14841581

>Super Card

>plagued with compatibility problems

Never had any problems.

Sucks to be you, I guess.

>>14841636

Did you try out FFCC Ring of Fates?

Is that game good too or is it just a waste of time?

>>14841639

>no background in Super Mario World

>some games just don't boot at-all

>refuses to work on the original model GBA

You sure you're thinking of the Super Card?

>>14838338

They came out with the EZ Flash Omega recently, which is supposedly much faster concerning loadtimes.

>>14841649

Yep I own 4 of them (1 SuperCard SD and 3 SuperCard miniSD) to play Zelda 4 Swords on my GBA and GBA SP Collection.

Never had any Problems on GBA and NDS (never owned a regular DS).

But I also never played Super Mario World on the GBA, I mainly played Zelda, RPGs and Tactics games.

>>14841636

Does wifi multiplayer also work on a flashcart?

Also did you or anyone else try out phantasy star 0?

>>14841625

The DS FE games are worth playing. The graphics aren't amazing, but the gameplay is still good. You'll want to get the patch that lets you play the gaiden chapters without killing off your entire army, though.

>>14841672

I'd presume it at-least works well-enough for that, but the compatibility issues are a big turnoff for me. Better than paying some scalper kike faggot big bucks for multiple copies of the multiplayer game you want.

>>14841677

Maybe for some games, but the servers for many games (including Nintendo's own) were shut down in 2014 sadly.

>>14841647

Ring of Fates kinda sucks but Echoes of Time was pretty good from what I remember.

>>14841726

That better not be your nostalgia talking anon.

I hate nostalgiafags with all of my being.

It also helps that im incapable of feeling nostalgia.

Or at least to an unreasonable degree that some people do

>>14841749

I enjoyed playing it with my girlfriend.

The EZ flash is the best option if you are looking for something cheap. Otherwise the best one is probably the everdrive.

>>14841625

If you haven't played any of the Mystery Dungeon games be they the original or the pokemon ones, you should download some of them.

>>14841726

>Ring of Fates kinda sucks but Echoes of Time was pretty good from what I remember.

It's the other way around actually :^)

>>14850913

>100% accurate

Or

>portable

Pick one. The only thing that does both is the system itself

>>14850695

No it isn't, you shit brained baboon. Fucking kill yourself.

>>14841625

hey anon what website did you get it from?

>>14841581

Never had an issue with the everdrive for compatability. EZ Flash was shit from my experience, I sold mine off after I got an everdrive.

The EZ Flash Omega looks to be the lastest and last GBA flash cart from the EZ Flash company, I think it has the real time clock so that Pokemon games finally work.

>>14851321

Like I said, it's the best option, it's just expensive. EZ Flash IV can be a pain in the ass but it's technically fully-compatible.

>>14851392

This isn't a bad option honestly, there are a few caveats for those though.

>Android Phone

Touch screen input fucking sucks for video games unless it's DS in some cases or a slow-paced RPG, no if's and's or but's. Bluetooth controller is a good idea but then you gotta deal with awkward build quality and input lag.

>GPD Win

These are fucking awesome, but also really expensive, and finding all the workarounds to take full advantage of the hardware (like installing and using a Linux distro) has a bit of a learning curve.

>Cheap-Ass Chink Dualshock 4 Knockoff

That honestly speaks for itself. What does it have to do with portable emulation anyway? Besides being intended for a phone?

>PSP

Great handheld, but GPSP and other emus are only able to get so-far with GBA emulation, it will run the vast majority of its library, but not all of them, and it's not the most-accurate either.

>PS Vita

Another great option, if you're lucky-enough to find someone selling who hasn't updated their console in years.

>>14841625

if you like Ghost Trick:

9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors (all versions since the DS one have been inferior for reasons that mostly can't be explained without spoiling the game), note that it needs to be patched to work on a flashcart

Ace Attorney series

Layton series

>Other

I've heard radiant historia is good but haven't gotten to it yet.

Devil Survivor (there's also a 3DS version)

>Pokémon

Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

HGSS

Platinum

also make sure your Pokémon White games are patched, pretty sure GF put anti-piracy measures in the gen 5 games

>>14851392

>cell phone

Enjoy your touch controls

>GXPD

All that money and it still has massive input lag.

>Bluetooth controllers

Bigger than a GBA. Defeats the point.

>PSP

The emulator sucks shit.

>>14851592

>>Cheap-Ass Chink Dualshock 4 Knockoff

>Besides being intended for a phone?

why did you even need to ask that, that's what I was trying to say with the phone and Bluetooth controller

>>14858261

You could have picked a better image.

>>14851098

This is what I got. Its cheap here but Im an impatient retard so I bought it for 25 bucks on amazon for free 2 day shipping.

https://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=490

I read somewhere that there is a better one that works with NTRboot or whatever its called but my R4gold I just got works just fine for me.

>>14860175

>Devil Survivor

Go fuck yourself

>Anti-Piracy measures on pkmn

Ah yes, thanks for that. I experienced that while playing SS a few years ago didnt like it

I'll see if there is a patched version for white or if i even need one at all.

>>14860181

I keep on fucking up my post

>>14860175 and below is meant for >>14851861

>>14860181

What's wrong with devil survivor

>>14861296

>I say that as someone who owns both

Nice, someone who knows.

Have you tried it on the GameBoy Player?

Is the flash cart scene growing still?

Looking to get a DS flash cart, what do you recommend?

>>14841625

>R4 Gold Pro 2018

Don't those purposefully stop working after a few years, though?

>>14861296

I beat bowsers inside story when I was a kid.

I remember it being a decent game.

Everybody keeps on praising it like as if its the messiah of all M&L games though.

>>14865175

Everything.

It seems like as if it was made for absolute shitters when it comes to every aspect of game design from music, combat, flow and art-style.

I gave the 3ds version my best shot but I just couldnt fucking bear it.

>>14884748

>timebomb

Oh fuck. I wanted to get something relatively cheap but it looks like I fucked myself over a bit.

I heard I could reset it if I turn the systems clock back a bit.

>>14884748

Gold Plus doesn't have the timebomb, I think regular Gold may have it though.

>>14884765

Those versions apparently do.

Its september 3rd of next year if you didnt know btw.

>>14875689

Yep, I can confirm both work on the Gameboy Player just fine.

>>14851392

Hell you can even throw the 3DS in there for near-native hardware feels. Bonus points for loading up your R4 for DS games.

>>14859702

Probably, just nabbed an image of "Bluetooth controller" on the first page of google images.

>>14841625

The 3DS has free DS piracy from the built in SD slot, gaylord.

And play the original SNES version of chrono trigger. Here's a ROM with a romhack that removes the censorship from the american version.

>>14884718

Flash carts are dying actually.

But like I said earlier the 3DS has free piracy from the SD slot now. Install a homebrew called TWLoader, it can load DS roms from your SD card. It can also load flashcarts blocked by your 3ds firmware and overclock the CPU.

>>14888481

Posting a 4cuck meme while shitting on one of the best handhelds ever released is fucking pathetic.

>>14884764

It's because it's the pinacle of M&L games. Anything before is good but inferior and anything after is shit.

>>14884748

You might just use TWLoader if you're on a 3DS.

R4i's are good, but watch out for the shitty inbred models with timebomb and other shit, as pointed out in other posts.

Ace3DS seems to be cheap, but I have no experience with them so I'd beware.

Gateways and certain Supercard models can play 3DS games, but what's the point?

Acekard 2i is my card, it's finnicky to set up, but not bad actually. Haven't had any compatibility issues after downloading the firmware I need, and it's arguably the best cart for hacking New 3DS's since it's basically impossible to brick them in the process.

>>14888542

You can also pirate 3DS games for free.

Just install a CFW like luma or NTR and install CIA files with FBI.

The cash for a flashcart is better spent on a high capacity SD card.

>>14888462

>>14888542

Loading DS games from the SD card slot is agonizingly slow though, it's more than worth it to just pay, what, $20? for the flash cart.

>>14888601

>Loading DS games from the SD card slot is agonizingly slow though

I haven't actually tried because I found a r4 on the floor about 10 years ago and picked it up

>>14888601

Sounds like a big caveat. I haven't tried it myself either since I have an Acekard but oh well.

>>14885376

Cool. That's what I really care about, since I just love my GC.

>>14888524

Flash carts will always serve a niche purpose, and aren't really making headway with new developments outside of quality of life features and improved accuracy and compatibility via software.

I think this proof of concept has a lot of potential though. It's essentially just outputting a Raspberry Pi through the base hardware to do things the hardware itself could never hope to be capable of. It is kinda pointless when you can just use the Pi by itself but still.

And yeah I know the uploader's a snarky, memespouting, soylent-drinking cuck, but it's the only video I could find with it being demonstrated, this is what Hooktube is for.

>>14889473

I could best describe it as potentially being used as a crazy hardware add-on, like a supercharged Super FX chip from an alternate timeline.

Polite sage for doubleposting.

OK, I'm a boy and I need your help: could you just give me the name of the best Flash Cart for each console, and tell me where to buy it?

I've heard about these SNES flash carts that allow for enhanced ROMs with extra animation and audio with CD quality.

Which one is the best for those fan-enhanced games?
