I'm not sure if anyone has one but its the USB version

made by a now bankrupt company called VISOLY

I'd like to know if anyones got one, hopefully with the corresponding flash cart (256Mbit +)

I'm not going to use it for ROMS, just homebrew.

My first GBA flah kit was Visoly bought in 2001, but its linker was parallel, not USB. Sorry I traded it last year.

Just why do you specifically need a visoly one? The only one I have left (after my girlfriend made me sell my EZflash 2 to her cousin :rolleyes: ) is a 256 mb flash2advance, it has a USB cable that gets connected to the GBA in order to flash the cart inserted.

I've just used a visoly one over the last few years, a friends, and really like it

plus I was writing a usb linux driver for it..

anyway, what are you looking for that one? I guess it'd do.

hmm

I guess I could sell it for 50€+shipping, I'll post a pic later. Cheers.

EDIT: here's the pic. It's a 256 megabits cart and a USB cable that gets connected to the GBA link port. You have to turn on the GBA by pressing L+R+Select+Start with the cart inserted, and then you can flash it. It comes with a CD that I guess contains the drivers but I think I downloaded more modern versions some time ago, I don't really remember. Actually, I found the cart to be very similar to the Visoly one, and in fact I could flash the Visoly cart with this USB linker.

bah, thats a nice linker, but I want the visoly one, the same as my friends

I know I'm being anal, but I have specific requirements, it must be based on the ez-usb microcontroller, etc etc, (that one is actually I think)

anyway. hmm, I have nothing to offer in trade either :(

I have a Visoly Flash Advance Extreme (USB) linker, but my card broke, so its just the linker. Everything included though (USB, Software). Let me know if you’re interested.

Its interesting because the card broke the day Lik-Sang / Visoly got busted. Coincidence? Me thinks not.

If I remember well, the driver Windows used for it was called ez-usb or something like that. In fact sometimes it would have trouble detecting it, or would depend on the specific USB port it was connected to.

Anyway I would trade it for a couple of MVS carts, or for DS stuff if I had one.

EDIT: Well, since I made the pic and uploaded it I posted about selling this in another forum for that price and it is already sold.
