XG2 Turbo (Review last updated on 02/05/04)


XG2 Turbo
(Official Site)

Summed up:
+ Incredible battery power consumption
+ SMS function to manage saves
+ SMS can hold 8M
+ RTC
+ 512Mb version

- No cheat function
- SMS function is awkward
- Disastrous flashing speed
- No Pogoshell support

      The XG2 Turbo is a cart with a lot of potential. It's hardware is very good and the Super Memory Stick function is original and works very well. Sadly, certain flaws bring what could be a great cart down to the ground.

     The cartridge's power consummation is incredible: it can last up to 11 hours on a GBA SP with backlight on! This is the best power consummation on any flash cart up to date. Aside from the electrical usage, the hardware also has basic features such as a real-time clock, and the cartridge supports many saves without patching, even 1Mb Flash, which is great as not many carts do so.

    The cart also uses a new way to handle saves. While other carts use inner batteries, the XG2 has changed things around by using a Super Memory Stick function. This means that you will not have to ever worry about your saves being lost, as the SMS will always keep your saves. However, the system may seem quite awkward at first, as the SMS only keeps one active save at once, so if you decide to play another game, you have to backup the save from the first game before switching. It's weird, but I guess it would not be so hard to get used to it.

     The software is average, but it does have dynamic writing, which is pretty cool. A smaller flaw is that it does not have cheat support, but the biggest overall flaw of this cart is the flashing speed. It's godamn awful. It takes about 12 minutes to flash 256Mb. With the EZFA, it takes about 5 minutes to do the same. That's incredibly sad. However, if patience is on your side, this would not be so much of a disadvantage and you could live through it. Personally, I would knock my monitor out with a sledge hammer in frustration if I had to wait that long.

    For the XG2 Turbo, the hardware is great, but the slow flashing software brings it down a lot. On the brighter side, it's better software than hardware, so we can only hope that in the near future the software speed situation will be improved.

ну что, я выбрал 8))) 512мбит.. дешево очень
+ стабильность железа как у EFA
но столько преимущейст есть перед тем же EFA

Lowest GBA battery power consumption to date. Only 11 mA (XG1 - 80mA)
(That is even lower than using EZ2 PowerStar)

^^^^^ клево-то как!!!

а EFA заклеймили... и больше 9 часов не выжать из нее.
Кто-то про потребление sony MS большое писал
ха.
XG2Turbo - это самая мало потребляющая флаха. 8))
а софт ее я юзал и тыкался... жаль они переключились на XG2T
а старое забросили

ну и остался ОДИН минус... 12 минут флашка вся пишется.
а что, я подожду 8) 512мегабит.. стабильнее EFA
что еще надо? а да.. батарейка не сядет.. никогда - сэйвы никогда не потеряются 8)

а про дороговизну я молчу.
у меня сдохла XG2Lite и что? деньги сами идут из инета - халява, сэр.
