It is with great excitement to share with you guys my recent discovery!
As smart carts and flasher are nowadays extremely rare, I thought the best flash carts one could find now on the market is either D'n'D, or everdrive, or more abundant EMS usb stuff etc.
But, it proves me wrong til I found this! Google translation is needed here unless you understand Chinese;)

Note that the cart however requires a flasher. But with 32$ you can get one from the same web store.
Here is some features of the cart (4th package designed for lsdj):
- Imitation of the original game boy design (use original MBC5 chips), customization can be ordered
- Solid build quality
- Support for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games
- 1024 Kbit F-RAM (best for lsdj)
- Flasher/Dumper firmware upgradable to support GBA cartridge in the future
- Driver supports all platforms
- Simple menu of flasher software (upgradable and pretty easy to use)
I contacted the store owner (Peter Byemu) for pricing of course. Clearly, for the moment, it depends on order numbers. But an rough estimation of 60$ (cart+flasher, shipping excluded) can be made, which is cheaper than D'nD but gives the same performance/price ratio!
Here is Peter's site

He has tons a lot of other interesting stuffs, how about wonderswan flashers/cartridges?!
The only problem is the shipping. It seems a little expensive to ship these carts from China to overseas. Maybe distributors (Kitsch, Nonfinite, etc.) could help in this case? Anyway, if anyone is interested, feel free to contact him by commenting on his blogs (I just got his permission to post here).
