once you have tried drag and drop functionality on a flash cart youll never accept anything less again.

what makes drag n derps better other than being more accessible for loading roms and saves? (i haven't done any research) i just know its drag n drop. Is the hardware of the cartridge better than other flash carts/ saving/loading projects, less bugs? whatnot etc.
Yeah, for one it uses batteryless ram so the battery will never die and take your songs with it.
I mean I’ve never had a data loss from it crashing either.

it's happened to me several times.
I've never had a Dragnderp crash either; yeah the batteryless aspect is really nice.
LittleFM support means that you can have 8 saves stored on the flash ROM for instant access (it takes about 5 seconds to load an entire save, about 10-15 seconds to save one - actually if you have a Dragnderp you can copy the entire 2mb ROM + saves for easy loading on EMS or El Cheapo, but you won't be able to save them back onto the flashed ROM). Looking into whether saving might be possible on El Cheapo as this would be a game changer.
TBH I don't care about drag and drop support, we have ems-qart which is just as easy now for EMS, and the El Cheapo SD card read/write is also just as easy. I also have a joey flasher so really any option would be doable. I might have to look into getting a Fightercart or something instead.
The Dragnderp is just rock solid, fast, and convenient, it's the best of all worlds. Peter Swimm dubbed it "The Cadillac of LSDj carts" for "incredible ease of use, minimal crashes and most importantly of all zero loss of data."
Oh I thought y'all were referring to EMS crashes haha
I've had good luck whenever I've tried out a Dragnderp. I need them in my life. If someone makes a clone then consider my money theirs.

Heh! I’m not a fan of using littlefm cause it complicates save management. I would use I for like, an archive cart with all my completed projects.
haha true my save files are a mess!... well anyway i ended up snagging 1 lone used DnD off eBay. best of luck to anyone else trying to get a hold of one of these....

Thank god. That's not too bad. I'd gladly pay $150 for another.
