You can't write to the flash without (1) putting the cart in a special mode 
and (2) using the correct 'programming/unlock' sequence on the flash. So 
it's very doubtful that your pak will successfully write to the flash.

There will in effect be a "blast" mode, whether it's a 1-byte blast or a 
block blast I'm yet to determine...
