GBA Game Question.

My Sister was Overseas at Singapore, and Made the mistake of buying a 169 games in 1 cartridge, i've already gone through them all and most of them are Snes games on a GBA cartridge, but it has 4 official GBA games, but on the cover it says 169 GAMES IN 1!! 512M!!!!! NO REPEAT!!!!!

what does that mean? (escpecially the 512M and NO REPEAT!!)

512M = 512 megabit memory capacity of the flash memory in the cartidge.
No repeat = only one of each game (not 169 made up of 10 roms of the same game + 159 others).

thanks, i was just a little sceptical about playing any of The Long Term Games they have on there (Final Fantasy Comes to Mind..) since i've known these cartridges to just delete your save data almost instantly, which is usually resulted in a dead battery, which is almost impossible to replace...
(battery inside the cartridge)

The batteries should last you 10 years, I think they use Lithium Batteries for these carts
its either that or they use flash memory

Yeah well, it is particularly slow today. I normally get about 2500 to Nelson and 1500 to Oz.

GBA GamePaks use flash memory.

Suffice it to say, the cartridge is full of pirated games.
