ok thanks, are there any advantages of having a slot 1 flash cart other than not needing a pass me? like speed of memory or anything like that? also how do I run the emulators off the flash carts? do the flash carts come with some sort of OS installed on them so I just select which emulator to run? and does anything need to be in specific directories on the cart or can it all just be rammed on there? thanks again for all your help.
