EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition DE

This is very nearly the perfect GBA cartridge if you're looking for a compact way to play and store hundreds of GB/GBC/GBA games (with the option to play a few others consoles like NES for good measure). Well priced, arrived promptly, easy to set up (albeit with online guides), and now I've got it set up, it's stupidly easy to add and remove games. I love the original GBA and this lets me relive my childhood favourites in their optimal form factor, rather than emulating on PC/a Steam Deck/the other Chinese handhelds that are available.

It's biggest drawbacks are simple though: cheats, and the SD card slot. The Game Boy and Game Boy Colour emulators simply don't support cheats, which is a real shame since I was hoping to replay old RPGs like Pokémon at a much more leisurely pace with level cheats, rather than level grinding for days on end. The GBA emulator does support cheats, but the official cheat file is in Chinese, so not only are some cheats a completely mystery because their titles haven't been translated, but I've also found that some cheats simply don't work when you apply them. A fan is translating the cheats into English and verifying their efficacy, but it seems crazy the company haven't provided an English cheats solution for at least the GBA emulator.

The SD card slot on the cartridge is really finicky as well - sometimes it'll take the SD card no problem, and other times you slot it in and it slips over the connector and gets jammed in the plastic cartridge. I thought I'd broken it or the card on two occasions while I was setting the SD card up because of this design issue.

I'd still highly recommend this cartridge, and hold out hope the company will offer English cheats sooner rather than later.
