Action Replay MAX Duo
For GAMEBOY ADVANCE / GBA SP and Nintendo DS!
Action Replay MAX DUO for GBA and DS games, the functionality for each system (game) type is different.
With GBA games, you load the system up in classic Action Replay style, allowing you to input (or download) coded cheats that enable things like infinite health, infinite lives, unlimited ammo and those sorts of things. With DS games the MAX DUO acts as a NDS save organizer, which while allowing you to download saves with things like all items unlocked or fully maxed characters, it doesn't allow you to enter cheats that would provide "tweaks" to games, like invulnerability.
The interface for both is fairly straight-forward and easy to use. We can't complain about the on-screen keyboard as it works great. One nice feature is that the MAX DUO will automatically recognize GBA games that you have codes entered for, either that you've entered yourself (and started a game with) or downloaded off the internet. Popping in a game will automatically load up that game's cheats, making it so that you don't need to drudge through menus to select cheats once you have it set up.
The MAX DUO also includes a USB port and media management software which allows you to organize your saves and codes via your PC. You can download saves and codes online and save them to your Action Replay MAX DUO, backup codes and saves on your MAX DUO to your PC, or upload saves you have to an online account for others to access. Being able to download codes saves a lot of time over having to type things in yourself which is great.
The Nintendo DS save management is nice in that there four profiles that you can choose from, and then saves are then backed up to that profile's saves area. This makes it possible for multiple people to play a DS game that normally only allows one save per cartridge.
Take control of even the toughest games and show ‘em who's boss!
Even the odds by arming yourself with infinite health, bullets and time. Unlock secret levels, characters and vehicles. Now YOU can become all-powerful and beat ANY game!
Action Replay MAX DUO is already loaded with unauthorized cheats and Powersaves for all the latest and greatest DS and GBA games, and you can update it with new ones quickly and easily using MAX DUO's unique USB Link system.
So what are you waiting for? Action Replay MAX DUO contains everything you need to put the power in your hands today!
• Preloaded with loads of cheats and Power saves for the latest and greatest games.
• New cheats and Power saves can be easily added and saved via built-in USB Link.

EZ-Flash 1 GBA-to-USB Cabl and Flash Card Review
First thing that came to mind was how small the box was. What the hell is in it? have they sent something else? To answer my questions all I had to do was open the box, which I did. Everything was there! We have the USB<>GBA cable, a small mini-cd with drivers and communication software and of course the actual flash card, which in this case is a 128mbit one (in a nice transparent red colour as well!). After taking some pictures of it I didnt want to waste any more time so I quickly pulled out some other USB stuff that was connected (smart card readers, scanners etc), just to make some room =) Now I just needed to get the drivers and send tools from the small cd. There is an installation.htm file on the cd with basic instructions that will have you up and running stuff in 2 minutes basicly. Drivers for 98/ME/2000/XP are avialable. I do not know if anything has been made for it to be used on linux... I had no problems installing the drivers or getting my stuff to work but maybe it could be a good thing to include a small FAQ with the most common problems, just in case something isnt working. I dont know of many people having problems with the EZ-Flash though so perhaps a FAQ isnt needed? ;) Please note that a FAQ etc are available on the EZ Flash website. I am just pointing out that this could be added to the cd as well. At time of writing only one question is in the FAQ though as that is "When will the EZF-Advance be available? And where can I get it?" so that might be why its not included yet ;)
When you have completed the instructions on the cd, all you have to do is start the send client, turn on the gba and press start+select until you hear that multiboot chime. A gray background with the text "EZF Advance OS" will greet you, and the unit is now ready to be used! Sending stuff to the card is easy and fast. The client is simple and the transfer speed is very good. I do not have any exact transfer rate but it I got around 82kb/s (195kb/s according to the manufacturer). This is less than half the speed the manufacturer says so there might be something wrong with my setup. One 'problem' (feature?) I noticed was that even if you only sent one rom to the card, it would not start automaticaly but instead you would be presented with the EZF menu (Loader) which can be quite annoying, especially if you only need to send one rom image several times when testing stuff. Im sure it will be easy to get around this in the future though. When sending several images it is of course a good thing to have a menu ;) It works but they should improve on it a bit because the 'select arrow' can be hard to control (not fixed in 0.94beta2).
Another nice feature is fact that you can very easily send multiboot images with the send software. This is called "No Cart". Please note though that when you dont have a cart in your GBA and you want to send a multiboot image, I think you have to hold the start+select buttons a bit longer. Took me 2-3 tries before I got this actually :) Anyway, you simply select a multiboot image and it will start without any loading time (about 2 seconds for a full 256kb file). Unless you have moded your GBA with a reset button, you will need to turn it off and then on again (again hold start+select...) to be able to send another image. So what are my thoughts about the EZ-Flash USB kit? I couldnt be more happy with it! Finally something that will let me send stuff quickly without having to take the cartridge out of a linker and putting it in my GBA. I would indeed recommend this unit to anyone! This kit works with GBA SP. The EZ-Flash also has a realtime clock so we might see some nice demos/games that will make use of that soon! To start the clock all you have to do is press L+R+START and set the current time. The cart supports all save types as well so one could sure do lots of fun stuff. 510 gameboy advance sp cheats.
