Are large gba EZflash style catridges better for GBx games than the DS personalized m3 or supercard?

Also, is the m3 USUABLE on the GBA to play GBx games?

in this case i'm looking for something more universal.

If your willing to pay for the extra expense of getting a decent size Flash Cart then they are usually better than using the media adapter cards such as the M3.

Yes the M3 has two modes, a DS mode, and a GBA mode, the GBA mode works perfectly on the GBA consoles (GBA/SP/Micro) and even has its own movie playback (though much poorer quality compared to DS movies)

The GBA mode also works on a DS by pressing start at the main menu of the M3's DS mode, or by starting the DS without a Pass device plugged in.

Flash carts are better since they have faster memory.

Even with good SD/CF cards, flash carts are still better for GBA. The only reason anyone gets the SD/CF adapters is because of the large amount of storage for lower prices.

Of course. Just get a G6 and you should be fine. Just be prepared to pay a bit more.

The G6 is a Flash Cart made by the M3 team.
There is also a G6 Lite coming out which fits the DS Lite perfectly.

I believe the G6 goes up to 4Gb (gigabits, not bytes)

oh, right I saw this and was amazed at how its 4G but costs nearly the same as the 2G (usually its proportional to all flash storage price gaps on the mark... $50)

edit, haha oh, its bits... guess its only 512mb in which case its a lack of a deal in price.

so in conclusion.. the G6 is the ultimate nds modcatridge whatever

Ultimate DS Lite flash cart. It can't be used with the older DS, hence the lower price.
