Flash Advance Extreme Flash USB Linker Set (for Gameboy Advance)

Has anyone used this product? And is it the best of it's kind?

It is used to backup your existing GBA games or if you program your own games you can put them on carts using this hardware.

There are a couple of similar products.

Flash Advance Extreme Flash USB Linker Set
Gameboy Advance Flash Link Set
Gameboy Advance Flash Advance Linker 2
XG-Flash

Which is the best of these?

no reason for it to get locked...

again, it is perfectly legal to back up games you own, yadda, yadda, yadda...

and IMO, this is extremely logical if you own many GBA games.. put them all on one card, and don't worry about taking them with you wherever you go..

plus it's also a development tool... was thinking about picking one up myself..

I have the Flash Advance Extreme Flash USB Linker Set and it is awesome. The only concern I have is that Visoly, the company who makes this product has their website forwarding to Lik-Sang. Anybody know why?

Where is the best place to find the USB version, I've found some serial versions and it seems to run $150 for 128meg and $200 for 256meg. What's the best/most reliable place to buy from.

I figure with some quick hex editing I'll be able to have some fun with my saved games...

I wish that they could make an adapter for the GBA that would let it accept Compact Flash, then I could use any size that I wanted to.

Any of you want to invent one?

I've got the Flash Advance Extreme USB linker as well and the 512meg flash. works great for me (fyi for anyone with it that's having problems, check your power management on your USB, if it's allowed to turn off the device, it will mid backup).
