Special thanks to the
ELink team for arranging a sample.
- Introduction -
The ELink is the latest GBA flash cart out
on the market. It is a crazy idea to put out a GBA flash cart
out on the market more than 6 years after the release of the
original Gameboy Advance’s release, but it might pay off.
The ELink team is a brand new team that
seems dedicated to support their product. They have taken
advantage of the fact that there are many users that are looking
to play older GBA games, a feature that slot 1 flash carts lack.
The Gameboy Micro is the perfect console for the ELink, but
it also works with all Gameboy Advance consoles and DS consoles.
Most solutions on the market for the
Gameboy Advance cost over a hundred dollars or have terrible
performance. The ELink comes in at about $30 USD with 512Mbit
of memory. The ELink claims to play music, videos, eBooks, and
most importantly, games. If it can do all of this, then there
is no doubt that the ELink should be successful.
