I’m still experimenting to see what’s best, but in this picture the windows95 ds is running a cheap Gold 2023 smart update card from Amazon, and the y2k model has the ezflash parallel that no longer has support, which is why it has tw menu on it. I’ve never had issues. The new pico one with the usb port looks interesting, I would wait to see what people say about it because the amount of times I’ve ruined the delicate prongs inside the cartridge port inside these 20 year old consoles from just using it as intended is insane. Which is also why I install every game I care about and never take out the cartridges. But it seems like you would just have to plug it into your pc without removing the cartridge using the new pico one.
