Hi everyone, I'm looking to play GBA games on my DSLite and am considering either the
1. GBA Expansion Pack for $35 from OZModchips.com, or
2. EZ Flash 3 in 1 Expansion Pack for $30 from GamersWonder.com

I already have an R4 and both appear to be compatible with it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on one over the other? Are they both simple to use?
The other question I have is: how do you put GBA roms on either of these two cards (the R4, for instance, comes with a USB dongle which is the MicroSD slots into for file transfer)?

Sorry, Nancy, I don't understand... There's nothing wrong with my R4, I just want to add GBA capability to my DSLite.

Ok so you don't want to play GBA games in cartridge form... you want a slot two divice that allows you to play Roms...

Im not sure if the $35 Oz mod chip one will work with the R4, as the discription says that it will boot from the MS3 Real (so the expansion pack dosn't use it's own card).

MM... yeah, that's the problem I'm facing now. I got the GBA Expansion Pack in the mail this morning and it doesn't work. I contacted OZModchips.com.au about it, because I'd particularly queried it's compatibility with the R4 before I placed my order and they said it would be fine, and they're very kindly looking into it now... but it's just frustrating!

Well that sucks that they gave you the wrong info... hopefully they can sort something out for you, or give you a refund.

I've asked them if they can at least swap the R4 and the GBA Expasion Pack they sold me (a total of $115) for the M3DS Real pack (which they sell for $87.50) as a straight swap... waiting to hear back.
