The restriction - and the problem - with Flash linkers is still the fact
that you need to disconnect cards and put them in your FAL every time
you want to test something. With a modded GameShark, you could possibly
get around this.

Nope, I haven't done this. Once you figured out how to reprogram the
cart it
might make for some useful hardware but you would also have to make a
driver
for it since it is a USB device. After all that I would still think the
flash cart would be way more suited for developing on. It wouldn't be
that
much longer to flash the cart and you would have a normal sized cart to
work
with. The truth is if you are planning on making a program bigger than
the
ram on gba can handle you might as well spring for the flash cart and
basically have no restrictions.
