Should I get a Everdrive-GB X3 or X5 for my Gameboy (lemmy.ohaa.xyz)

Im looking for a flashcard for my '89 Gameboy and stumbled upon the Everdrive-GB cartridges. The x3 is about 20 bucks cheaper than the x5. What am I missing out on if I get the cheaper one? Only thing I wanna do is to play a few homebrew gameboy games.

Honestly, the ezflash jr is the cheaper option and has some amazing fatures, although the project seems to have been abandoned, they are selling the cart still, the beta FW let's the RTC to work.

Just for anyone running across this later, another limitation of the EzFJr is that you have to load a custom F/w if you want SGB to work. The Krykzz cart works fine out the box for both platforms. That said, I do own both, and the EzFlash is a great budget alternative for handhelds if you can get it.
