  • Is their cheats ?

    plz reply

  • Do you still need Rudolph's tool to make this work on the CycloDS evolution?

    I see that this was done in 2008, and the latest update for the CycloDS evolution is from 9.5.2010

  • so I've kind of lost on how to delete my gba rom from the EZ flash 3 in one. I deleted it off te micro Sd card but I think the game has been copied onto the slot 2 card itself. How do I take it out or change to a different game? If you know, then thanks!

  • @Jamjamthelegend It's been a while... I don't know I think you use Rudolph's Tool or GBA Exploader and you can erase it from there.

  • @AparoidX i dont believe there is a delete option for it. i am also in the same boat but i want the game off the slot 2. any suggestions?

  • Aparoid, know any places to get these, or the later version?

  • I got one of these and it eats batterys like crazy, every 3 weeks I have to change it out, does anyone else have this problem or do I just have a broken one

  • I bought a CycloDS Evolution and a 3-in-1 based partly on the info in this review. Let me tell you, thy are AWESOME! I can't recommend them highly enough! With a 4GB micro SD card, the total cost was around US $90 for everything, and I feel like it was well worth it! It pretty much pays for itself one way or another. Of course I still say "if you like a game, you should buy it," but being able to download games to try them first has kept me from spending my cash on games that suck!

  • Does it work with any flashcart?

  • i want this expantion so bad ;(

  • Dos the easy flash improve super nintendo emulation?

  • do i have to mod my ds lite first to use ez flash 3 thingy, or do i pop it in there and it starts up right away? and can u play back up ds games.

  • You have to pick up a mod cartridge, like an R4 clone or CycloDS (recommended), then you can pop in your EZ Flash cartridge, your R4/CycloDS/whatever cartridge, and select your ROM off of there.

  • @TranceZ7

    so if i get a R4 clone or a CycloDS and pop that in my ds and i also pop in the E-Zflash aslo at the same time? I dont mod nothing with my ds?

  • Nope, you don't mod anything on your DS. It's pretty simple, really. Sorry I didn't get to you sooner.

  • @hydroforge Confirming your speculation, I ordered a "phat" or GBA-sized EZ Flash 3-in-1 from realhotstuff[dot]com four days ago and received the item in the mail today. I've yet to use it, but it was transported to me quickly and there are no physical defects. Anyone else looking for the GBA-sized 3-in-1, head over to their site! =)

  • How did you get the CycloDS to play DS games???

  • @Jehuzits

    Just Download Ds roms, put it onto your micro sd card, and play, simple as that

  • Is there anyway this can be sent 2 australia?

  • Most online stores that stock EZF3in1 ship worldwide.

  • does this only work on nintendo ds lite? or does this also work with regular ds?

  • would this work with the r4

  • ok ok let me get this straight, is the cycloDS evolution similar to R4DS, or can i use the ez flash 3 in 1 with my r4ds or do i have to get the other one?

  • should u play gba games with ez flash 3-1 and a fake r4?

  • a....FAKE R4? what? what do you mean?

  • r4 sux

  • you suck

  • Hope u can answer it fast:

    I don't know where to put my .SAV files!

    Because I got a .SAV file from a game and it doesn't want to load on the game on the CycloDS! So, in what folcder do i need to place my save files?

  • at least on the acekard you put it in the same folder as the game

  • Comment removed

  • hi i need help!! i have a whole bunch of GBA roms that i want to play on my ds, but i have no clue how to use/set-up the EZflash 3in1. i was wondering if there was anything like the R4 that could be used for GBA roms. also, i am in need of a storage card that plays regular NDS games, and i cant decide between the fire card and the R4, but if you have a preffered one could you tell me?

  • Comment removed

  • ty!

  • can you plz help me can you take off the shell on the ezfalsh 3 in 1 to make it fit in the ds phat????

    plz responde it would mean a lot

  • Before you decide to mod your 3-in-1, maybe you should just buy a DS Phat-compatible 3-in-1. They do exist, you know.

  • oh i cant find one chould you give me a link?

  • ONE: you dont need rudolph's tool to play the games on psram anymore if you have a cyclods. TWO: you dont need to erase the NOR you can just copy over it THREE: i beleive you do nned rudolph's tool to copy a gba game to the NOR.

  • wait since myd si cant run my acekard 2i im playing on my gba sp. so if i buy the ez flash 3 in 1 expansion pack the normal gba game size then would i be able to use it like an r4 for the gba?

  • No, GBA flashcarts are a completely different thing.

  • Hey man, what's the difference between EZ Flash 3-in-1 and the EZ Flash IV, which is better, and both are compatible with CycloDS?

  • I'm not too sure what the difference is, but the particular 3-in-1 I used in this video is no longer being made, so most people have to buy the later revision (IV). I've heard that it has compatiblitity issues with the CycloDS, but I can't speak from experience.

  • wow i gotta get this i wanna play pokemon shiny gold x on my ds and ruby destiny on my ds

  • Can u help me...

    I use R4 and GBAExploder doesnt recongnize my

    ez 3in1...I have same one as yours

  • I tried using EZ tool program and it doesnt recongnize it..

  • The DS browser wont recognize my 3 in 1 any advise on how to fix?

  • Try my method (video response), but with the newer 3-in-1's I can't guarantee it will work. The 3-in-1's have changed slightly since I had mine which is now broken.

  • err dude im soz but i mis understood wich option do u use ?

  • can u use cheats on the GBA roms using EZ flash 3 in 1????

  • Nope

  • ok last question I have a theory u know how u can use gameshark saves to play a game for example megaman. is it posible to replace the EZ flash save file with the gameshark save file???

  • I'm not really sure how Gameshark saves work, but if it's just a modified game save of a regular game, then it might work. I honestly don't know.

  • Hey when you play with your GBA games on your ds can you cheat on your GBA games too??

  • Nope

  • but it said something in that GBAtemp website that it is possible to use cheats but I dodn't know how

  • GBA games don't show up on my ds... :/

    i downloaded the file you posted a link to and put it in the root directory, but they still don't show up. help please. D:

  • HELLO

    Let's see if I understood ROOMS TO PLAY FOR THE GBA? Is CycloDS Evolution and the EZ Flash 3-in-1 together? O TO PLAY THE ROOMS OF ONLY ONE OR GBA FLASH CARD IS ONLY CycloDS Evolution?

    HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME ... THANKS

  • If I understand your question, you need both a CycloDS Evolution and an EZ Flash 3-in-1 to play GBA ROMs.

  • can you tell me what are the two things I need because the link is dead and sorry to not fully understand/hear still in english learning (^_^)

  • I don't know what 2 things you're referring to... if it's something I mentioned in the video, I haven't watched this video in a long time so I don't remember what I said.

    You're not the first person to say the link is dead, but every time somebody said it was dead, I tried it and it worked. :\

  • yeah I don't fully understand those 2 things u mentinoned something about saying data on the ram and something else, can u plz be specific im confused about that.

  • Oh, NOR and SRAM? Well, NOR is memory that is rewritable, so if you're going to run a GBA game you could just have it save it to the NOR data. That way, it would still be on the 3-in-1 even after you power it off. However, you could erase it or rewrite it at any time.

    SRAM just loads the game onto its temporary memory which is erased after the DS is turned off. It still saves your game saves, but the GBA ROM is cleared once you power off.

    I think that's what you're asking for...

  • so It would best to use NOR right better than sram?

  • Depends on the situation. For example, if you play through a lot of different GBA ROMs, it might be best to use SRAM, because it loads games faster. Writing to NOR takes longer than SRAM.

  • ok last question yes I would have a lot of GBA roms but which one of this is easier to save game data because I wouldn't want to lose any GBA saves and can u use the gBA emulator 4 the cyclo DS?

  • It doesn't matter which mode you use, your saves will still be intact.

    Also, there are no GBA emulators for the DS. The GBA hardware is present in the DS, so it would be impractical to emulate. Thus the 3-in-1 simply acts as a GBA cartridge.

  • ok thanx dude u helped me alot and great vid

  • is that bottom Cartridge really needed?

    cause Im about to buy a cyclo ds but I dont know what the 3 in one thing is???? lil help here please lol

    ohh and is cyclo ds compatible with dsi?

  • You don't need a 3-in-1 to use a CycloDS, but to do the things featured in this video, you do need a 3-in-1.

    The CycloDS is not compatible with the DSi.

  • ahh Thank you and thnx for replying

    btw I heard cyclods is trying to make it dsi compatible via firmware should I buy and wait for a firmware? or should I just buy a acekard2i I heard there compatible with both Light and dsi

    but are they any good?

    Thanks in advance

  • I wouldn't count on the CycloDS being DSi compatible any time soon, but there is no basis to my statement. Nobody really knows if the CycloDS team is making or capable of making a DSi-compatible firmware. It would probably require a new flashcart designed from the ground up.

    I haven't used any DSi flashcarts so I couldn't really recommend any to you. You might want to decide by watching/reading reviews on flashcartreviews{dot}com. His videos are under the YouTube name iwakura.

  • alright thanks man for the reply and I will check out iwakura. thanks again

  • will the one for the phat/orignal work with cyclo ds evo

  • It should, yes.

  • does it support gameshark?

  • Nope.

  • yah i just found out that i have to patch some gba games how do i go about patching the game??

  • Use GBATA.

  • Hey I have a problem. Though I'm not using a CycloDS, I'm using an M3DS Real. Whenever I select the Expansion Ram, it just freezes, as well as when I select any of the rumbles. GBA roms were perfectly. Any suggestion?

  • I have no idea what the problem is. My guess is that only part of your 3-in-1 works. Maybe it's faulty. Truly, I don't know.

  • Oh well, thanks for your help anyways. :)

  • hey man whats up you have the cyclo right?....so tell me the newest firmware will work for the EZ flash? at least to just play GBA games because I really could care less about the rumble or opera browser, useless features to me...I went to download the new firmware a few days ago, it said it had partial support for the EZ Flash...hopefully that specific support is for the GBA games because that is what I only care about...I'm about to get my EzFlash through the mail, so I'm a newbie

  • Yeah, GBA support is the main focus with EZ Flash 3-in-1 and CycloDS connectivity.

  • o and does yours still save the games to your card because i herd that the bettery can die on theses cards and then it wont be able to save any more so does yours still save since u got it about over a year ago

  • I don't really know, I haven't used it in a long time.

    As far as rumble goes with the DSTT, I couldn't tell you, as I don't have a DSTT.

  • thank you and i got one more question again i am really sorry for all the questions but how do i change the rumble if i use a ndstt?

  • basically i want to no if its just plug and play do you have to modifie you actual system to use it cause i remember seeing a video about how to flash a ds

  • Yeah, it's plug-and-play. Flashing or any other modifications are not necessary.

  • o and i almost for got dp i have to to modify my ds to use it?

  • by the way did u ever figure out how to adjust the 3 different type of rumbles?

  • You can select rumble level in the CycloDS Evolution menu.

    I don't understand your second question.

  • is there a way to put on GB color games?

    ~Yumi~

  • Yep. However, this method is not necessary to play classic Gameboy or Gameboy Color games. For those type of games, just use Lameboy. I have a video demonstration in my videos.

  • kay thanks :3

    ~Yumi~

  • sorry for all the questions you've been very helpful I'm getting it o and i am subscribed

  • is this the same thing the ezflash 3-in-1 Memory Expansion Pack for NDS Lite (White) on dealextreme com i tried to put the link in but i couldn't so go to that site and search it it should come up its the one that's $18.40 not the black one the white one its picture is just the box that says expansion pack so yah thanks for the other answer to you rock

  • Yeah, that's the same thing.

  • can u play kingdom hearts chain of memories with it ???

  • Yep.

  • Can only 1 gameboy advance game be put on at one time

  • Yes.

  • Your mediafire file has a virus in the TA exe

  • Pretty sure it doesn't.

  • Are there any other similar slot-2 products like the EZFlash 3-in-1? And do you need to put a separate microSD into the EZFlash? Thanks in advance!

  • There are similar products, but I'm not familiar with them.

    The 3-in-1 does not require any additional media, such as a MicroSD card.

  • Thanks for the reply. I also have 1 more question, it's not really related to the CycloDS or EZflash, but where can I get the Opera Browser? I saw a couple of versions like (EU) and there's separate ones patched for separate cartridges. How do I know which is the proper one to use? Or are all of them good?

  • I would recommend getting just a regular, non-patched version of the Opera Browser (any region will do, pick yours). Then, if you're using the EZ Flash 3-in-1 to serve as the additional RAM that the browser requires, patch it with the appropriate patch. I have a video on how to do this if you want to try it.

  • Thanks.

  • very nice video, that last comment u said, made my day 5/5

  • hi there, i was wondering if you could help me out here.

    i am going to buy a cyclods evolution and a ez 3 in 1 for slot 2 as i want to play gba games.

    do i need to put the gba games on the slot 2 or the slot 1??

    Please Help, Kind Regards

  • My DS detects no GBA slot when 3 in 1 EZFlash V Black is plugged in. gbaexploder dosnt work but gbaxploderB works... no rumble... no expansion, just GBA. help

  • i have the exact same combonation i used to have an r4ds but cyclo ds supports 8gb chips :DDDD

  • rudolf wont work with ezflash v and cyclo ds

  • yes...

  • I have a question

    i dont have my EZ 3 in 1 yet, but i putted already gba roms on my cyclods. is it right that you cant see the gba roms?

  • If you install the latest firmware and enable GBA support in the options, they should show up.

  • thank you:)

  • can u use the 3 in 1 by itself, like say if u had a gba sized 3 in 1, can u play it without the slot 1 card, or maybe on a gb micro or a gba sp or a regular gba?

  • I don't think so.

  • No the GBA roms are stored on the slot 1 card you need the slot 2 card to boot them.

  • duz the cyclods support nds-gba linkage with any other flash cart besides EZ flash 3 in 1...like a gba size flash cart such as

    ELink Flash Card and GBA EZFlash III Devkit?

    ez flash 3 in 1 is a good gba flash cart, however it only has 32 MB of nor memory, i can only store 2 roms with that......

  • Um, I don't know specifically which ones work. As far as I know the CycloDS only has built-in features for the 3-in-1, but if you use homebrew ROM loaders like GBA Exploader, it will probably work.

  • im going to buy CycloDS Evolution and 3 in 1 ezflash

  • Good choice.

  • how do you open the game from gba slot

  • What do you mean?

  • Dunno whether if any other comments have covered this but the latest CycloDS firmware lets you boot .GBA ROMs directly from the GUI without Rudolph's Tool (But with the EZ Flash 3 in 1 inserted)

  • is there any way to boot the gba roms from the cyclods cartridge without buying anything else?

    i dont wanna buy another flash cart i just bought the cyclods one like 3 days ago. can you just patch the roms or install special files or something so that they will run?

  • To both of your questions: Nope.

  • I've got the R4v2 (R4 Revolution)

    Will this work with the R4 to play gba games?

  • Yes, it should.

  • please help me

    my gba games dont save

    its freaking me out

    in the new ezflash 3 in 1 that i bought

    i use my R4 with it

    my game loads but i cant make it save

  • If you ever have questions, you can leave a comment or send me a message.

    The only other chat program I use is IRC. You can go to my website (see my account channel page), make an account, and an IRC Chat menu will appear on the homepage. From there you can join the chat room which I'm frequently on.

  • hey wheres the irc in your site?

  • You need to make an account for it to show up.

    I do that so I don't get spammers/bots.

  • do you have AIM or MSN, if so screennames pl0x =D

  • My AIM is AparoidX, but I don't use AIM anymore.

  • please make a tutorial on how to use it, put games on it, organize, and such!

  • Uh, well, I basically did with this video.

    It's not like a normal flashcart that has a memory card slot or file browser. Just think about combining the features of the Nintendo Web Browser Expansion Pak and a Rumble Pak. That's basically all it is.

  • Thanks for the vid. Have you been able to back up a DS card using NDS backup 3 in 1 (v.31) software with the Cyclo DS Evo/3-in-1 combo? I get as far as writing the ROM to NOR then after it asks for me to turn off the DS and start the backup tool again (so it can copy the file to the CycloDS), it doesn't continue. When I run the tool again, it starts over from scratch as if I never copied anything (says file not found.) I suspect my 3 in 1 is defective or it's a compatibility issue with the Evo.

  • I've never tried backing up DS carts with the 3-in-1, actually. I'm afraid I can't help with that. However I've been meaning to try it, and hopefully make a video about it.

  • there needs to be a tutorial for people who cant understand half this shit that this nigga is saying

  • If you don't understand what I'm saying in this video, you may as well give up DS Homebrew altogether.

  • no disrespect dawg chill i get it but that ram shit im just saying there should a more straight forward tutorial

  • this is also compatible with edge DS with the new 1.4 update

  • I have a question,  would you say this ezflash expansion cart as the best slot-2 cart out there? or are there better ones?

    thanks

  • I would have to say the EZ Flash 3-in-1 is the perfect companion to any Slot-1 flashcart. (The CycloDS Evolution happens to be wonderfully compatible with it)

  • Don't you not need the GBAExploder anymore with a CycloDS because their firmware supports GBA roms with a slot-2 expansion.

  • Eh, this video's almost half a year old... I'll throw in some annotations to correct whatever I said in the video.

  • when u download games does it coem with cheat codes?

  • No cheats work with GBA games.

  • hey.. i kno uve prolly been asked this a million times but wher can u get the opera browser rom?? i jes got me a cyclods evo n im wondering wher i can get me a copy?

  • Just use Google. I'm not telling you where to get ROMs

  • How do I manage my saves on the cyclods+ezflash? do I save in-game or is there a seperate menu in the cyclods to save?

  • I honestly have no idea. I think the GBA game saves are copied to the MicroSD, but I could be wrong.

  • 1) You cannot use GBA ROMs without a Slot-2 device.

    2) If the game is freezing when pressing all of those buttons simultaneously, I don't think there is a workaround for that. Most flashcarts that support in-game menus (allowing you to reset back to the flashcart menu, for example) use all ABXYLR buttons at once to activate them. This may be the case, but I could be wrong.

    Generally mashing all the buttons at once isn't the greatest idea :P

  • dude i just wanna thank you.

    cuz i was going to order off of nxpgame but i wasnt sure it was legit. so i was just about to use deal extreme but since i kno that nxpgame is legit im gonna order from it now!

  • Hey, I got one of those with a supercard (the supercard works fine), but when I load rudolph it give a "3in1 expansion pack not found please redo from start" error... I don't know if I did something wrong or if my 3in1 is not working :(.

    Also, if I start the DS without the supercard it shows nothing in the slot 2.

  • I don't recommend using Rudolph's loader, as it doesn't seem to work with recent builds of the 3-in-1. Use GBA Exploader instead. It's being more updated and works with newer 3-in-1's.

    Also, the DS doesn't recognize it as an official Slot-2 accessory, so don't worry. It doesn't work with commercial DS games/software either, unfortunately. Only flashcarts are capable of using its functionality.

  • I have a question, I read in many places that it doesn't fit flush in the DS Lite and it sticks out about 1mm. Is this true?

    This is a big deciding factor because I am very VERY compulsive, kind of like Monk.

  • Yes, it does stick out about 1mm.

  • Shit... Well it doesn't look terribly much... Eh, I guess I will buy one. The GBA expansion that came with my M3DS sucks the battery dry and I hate it. It sticks out a little bit as well. Because this has it's own battery, I'm gonna get this.

  • Hey, I have another question, when you save a GBA game is there an option to have it save to the slot-1 card? That's what it does with the GBA expansion I have now (which sucks the battery dry, that's why I hate it) and I don't want to have to start over again in my games. So, is there a way?

  • It keeps the save files saved onto the MicroSD of your Slot-1 card.

  • i would just get it to play mother xD

  • Sooo, how do you actually load games onto the easy flash? it dusn't seem to have a USB or sD slot.

  • The Slot-1 flashcart writes to the onboard memory of the EZ Flash.

  • Hmmm.... Ok, thanks. So is it easy to use?

  • It's very... *cough* EZ

    =P

  • Does the EZ 3-in1 fit into the old NDS? Looks like it doesn't...

    And is there a difference between EZ Flash 3-in-1 and EZ V 3-in-1?
