There's also the cheap Everdrive GB clones out there.

Yeah I got one of the clones from AliExpress, the newer version with a button to press that reboots you back to the game selection menu, very handy actually. It doesn't have RTC, so don't get it if you need that, otherwise it's decent and great value.

I got an Easy Flash Jr, with the firmware that enables SGB compatibility and like it very much.
And it also has that reset button.
And the battery inside I think it is for RTC, but for me isn't important.

The El Cheapo SD is an alternative to the EZ Flash Jr, assuming it's still available at all. Much older alternatives include the USB 64M and the Flash2Advance with a GB Bridge, but you might not even be able to find those anymore.

You can also reportedly use the GBxCart RW to flash certain cheap AliXpress bootlegs with whatever you want, but I don't know if there's any way to tell which bootlegs are applicable or not. Some places also sell flashable empty cartridges. Of course, such cartridges can only hold one game at a time, but that's not so bad, is it?

DO NOT BUY THE CLONE SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND BUY THE REAL THING!!!!
What's so bad about them..?

I am planning to buy everdrive clone as a cheaper alternative. Is it any good ? I hope that the saves work at least!?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
