Cool Uncle Reviews: BurnMaster by FunnyPlaying, the newest Gameboy Cart Flasher

12/08/24 Update: I can no longer in good conscience recommend the BurnMaster as several people have reported to me recently that they received units that could not write and subsequent replacements had the same issue. I would suggest only purchasing one if you can do so from a third-party retailer who performs their own QC such as RetroModding. Otherwise, stick to the Joey Jr. and GBxCartRW which are run by community members who actually care enough to continue producing quality products.

I finally got my hands on assembling and trying the newest product from FunnyPlaying, a Portable Cart Flasher! You can read and write Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games without needing a computer. And, it's almost half the price of other flashers on the market. So, what's the catch?
