yeah but what about this? :
From the video you'd think you'd only be able to load a single game at a time, however, someone close to the team mentioned this: "And for those asking, it is 'early video' before the 'game manager' was finished in coding by the homebrew developers, reason for 3 microsd one for each rom."
.
Probably BS.
They might be working on a "game manager" but I highly doubt they have one already working because if they did they would've just showed it off in the video. And it's very likely they could never manage to get one working and they are just trying to sell this thing with promises. SHOW THE PROOF, don't just make promises.
So right now as the youtube video showed it's 1 microSD for everygame, not only that each microSD has to be the same file size as the game cartridge. If it can do anything more I'll believe when I see it.
From reading another thread/forum it appears save data is likely stored on the flashcard itself, not the microSD. Inserting a new game would overwrite the old save data, and you'd need an additional tool to back up your saves.
Since they're the only ones with this flashcart, it'll probably be expensive, maybe $100 or more. The first DS flashcarts were expensive too, before more companies started making them.
Even though its a 1:1 copy of the game Nintendo still has various ways they could detect it and block it, the most obvious being to compare the read/write speeds to the legit cartridge.
- It's inconvenient
- probably expensive
- potential to be blocked.
Right now, this only being made known a few hours ago, with the info I've seen about it, I personally don't really think this flashcart will amount to much. But who knows I could be wrong.
