Can you plug in the thing and program it hot? I imagine with a flash
cart you can do all the things you have done. But what if you wanted to
say, have a bootloader program on there that boots the gba, you unplug
the sms and plug in a serial cable to the pc, download something from
the pc, replace the sms and upload to it. does that work or does the
thing have to be plugged in from boot?

Just wondering if it is useful to hobbyists who dont have flash carts,
but might be able to get the thing programmed one time with an alternate
bootloader (boots and gives you a choice to load from flash or run a
serial application)...

The price is definitely right, hell less than 10 bucks is cheaper than a
rom cartridge from N. You could distribute homebrew/multiboot games on
this thing...
