Buying a flash cart?

    Looking to get some homebrew going on my old DS lite (not a fan of this touch screen b*llocks for gaming). Specifically the Ez-flash 3 in 1 for the GBA slot.
    Has anyone used sites to buy such a thing lately?

    Deal extreme was the go to site for such things years ago, but the dodgyish goods landscape seems to have changed quite a bit in recent years.
    Loads of very suspect sites and nothing much on ebay.

    Apparently the devices are becoming as rare as hens teeth.
    Which is unusual given how popular and common they were.

    I've an Acekard 2i, original R4 and an M3 Zero. Oddly enough I fired up my DSi for the first time in about 3 years last night.... (Jeremy Clarkson voice)...."and played some games!" :D

    Thanks for the replies.
    Have an old R4 myself, looking to get things going on the GBA end though.

    realhotstuff.com is the best site I've come across so far.

    Dealextreme had loads of Ez-flash 3 in 1s at one point alright. That's where I got my one years ago.

    Any GBA related flash cards just seem to be impossible to get these days.

    I had absolutely awful trouble finding a standard flash cart for a GBA Micro.

    I use an EZ Linker, an older cart predating the use of SD cards.
    It requires the use of a USB cart to transfer files to it's frankly small memory, still, can fit about 15 games on and I was running GB/C and NES emulation on it with tons of games, really really worked well too.
    It's handy because the GB Micro doesn't natively support GB/C titles at all.
    Plus, I had an emualtor dedicated to Picross titles, you could do the same with Megaman or whatever.
    It was fiddly to use as you had to completely reflash to add things, you couldn't just drag and drop as you might with an SD based solution.
