It allows to update nanoloop 2.x (2.2 or higher) carts and to backup/restore data from/to nanoloop 2.5.

worth noting that last time oliver recommended a program to write to the nanoloop 2.3 carts, it corrupted the ROM, requiring me to repair it with .mb file....shame oliver didnt leave the nanoloop forum intact (maybe read-only to save the spam issues), as this was all documented there years ago...
basically saying, dont hold your breath on being able to restore to the carts, both myself & nordloef tried back when 2.3 was still in beta with the same results....

esopus: you should be able to write to a ez flash IV for use, havent tested it on that one yet (i used a flash2advance 128mbit cart & usb flash linker, butshould work about the same...think i have one here, so i may check it later).. important to remember that the nanoloop 2.3 rom (complete with saves) is 128mbit, as most programs ask you how big the rom you are extracting is...once running on another cart, it functions the same as the demo ROM (no ability to save, requires a specific button combo which has slipped my mind to boot), but with your data in it...sadly though, even cart swap method doesnt allow you to copy things off the flash cart and back onto the orig, from what ive seen, though theres one thing im not sure if i tried yet with that, so i may dig out my gear and see if there is a workaround....also., RE: upgrading, im waiting too, the last update ROM is dated May, so i am not so sure its solid yet either...rather have two fully functional 2.3s than 2 buggy 2.5s

no need for threads asking if you got a good deal (or bragging about one) on relatively common objects

check

this should work to get the rom (the save for nanoloop 2.3 & 2.5 is part of the rom itself) off the cart (or updating the ROM via multi-boot), just like you can with a flash2advance USB linker.... though unless anyone has found a program that works for writing roms back to the specialized nanoloop flash carts, its kind of a back up that cant be used for much (though you can throw it on a flash cart and use a backup copy live, just have to load it with the same keypress combo you would the demo rom)...
another more expensive option is to have a 2nd cart which you copy everything to using the cart swap method

thats ust business as usual for me (though i used to sometimes work out leads on my cs01 if i had an idea i needed to sort out, but now if i do that, i just use the cs01 in the end anyway)
