yep, in theory, but fitting it into a cart is another matter, and also you have the issue of, for example the gameboy is saving, where it writes to SRAM, then its done so you turn of the gameboy, but it still has to write to the SD card, so you would need a battery to keep it running so it could finish reading and writing

That's exactly how the Supercard for GBA works.

to copy the save from the ram to the SD card you have to press L+R+SELECT+A and wait for a couple of seconds.

interesting, but yea it would have to be something like that, and something similar if you wanted the rom as well, like the gameboy boots up, then you have to wait for the rom to be copied over before it can carry on, or something like that. easier with USB really

nope it wouldn't work for a start the microSD card is not fast enough to be used as a flash chip, but there is a lot of other reasons why it wouldn't work anyway.

i want this!!!!! :DDDDd that would be USEFULL is a shame the usb cart that expensive and like imposible to get around here...

Any way possible to do this with a DS flash cart?? but instead of USB use the microSD they use (similar to the R4) cuz i have one R4 eating dust. Sorry if this sound insane, but i dont know anything about hardward and chips! ((

you can buy the USB carts from nonfinite, or ask on the forums thats how i got mine,

and as for your other question, nope it wouldn't work for a start the microSD card is not fast enough to be used as a flash chip, but there is a lot of other reasons why it wouldn't work anyway.

easiest option is to buy the flash chip and then use a programmer to program the camera rather than trying to fit the USB part
