Review :
To run this product, 3 separate parts needed (other than the GBA player itself) :
1. X-ROM 512Mbit Flash Card :
» It works as the device to save any data or roms
» It should be inserted on the GBA cartidge slot
» Supports several emulators (GameBoy, GameBoyColor, Nintendo, Sega, etc)
2. X-ROM USB Cable :
» This cable works as a connector between your GBA and PC
» It should be plugged on the GBA Link/Multiplayer Port (GBA) & USB Port (PC)
» Compatible with GBA / GBA SP worldwide
3. Driver and Supporting Software :
Note: The driver and the supporting software (LittleWriter) must be installed on the PC prior to connecting the X-ROM USB cable to the PC.
This supporting software has the following functions :
» Transfer rom files from PC and write it to the flash card
» Automatic zip files recognition
» Convert the original GBA cartidge as rom file
» Backup save games
» Backup GBA internal SRAM
» Supports single and multiple roms
» Supports file compressions, saving more spaces
» Supports many plugins and special actions
The Good Thing :
» With 512Mbit capacity, you can store multiple game roms or save games
» You can use X-ROM USB Cable to send small games (up to 2 Mbit) to GBA built-in SRAM memory (This way you can play game without any cartridge)
» It supports RTC (Real Time Clocks), that means you can play several games which need this feature
» You can backup your original game cartridges to rom files, so you don't have to worry when it gets broken
» XCode Cheat Patch supported (using the supporting software), this way you can apply Action Replay Code Saves to the games.
The Bad Thing :
» The installation process is a little bit complicated for novice users and you should read the manual carefully before following the steps one by one.
» The developer of this product did not produce their own official supporting software, which gain the most important role for the many interesting features, but they are using a 3rd party software instead.
» X-ROM USB Cable design should be improved in the future, especially the part which connects between the cable and the GBA Link Port, it's not really convenient
Conclusion :
Our overall conclusion to this product is not other than what we tought before, it's that this product is worth to buy, especially for the current price which is pretty cheap considering you can spent about the same amount of money for buying any other GBA flash card linker with half or less memory capacity.
