Re: SD Card posible alternative : Update

Why not get a SD card extender? this suggestion is for ppl that want to have the sd card in a game cartridge that plugs into a gameboy cartridge reader installed in their GBZ builds (hence the image with the board in a game cart) this board is around $2 compared to the $11 for the extender you've s...
