Those chinese blue gba carts

Post by Fickieboy »

Anybody has experience with them?

I heard you can like flash or burn them using a DS/DSL and some homebrew. I have an EZ IV gba cart that works cool with my GBMicro, and since the Micro doesnt support GB and GBC, I play Goomba on it a lot of time.

Do you guys know if Its gonna work to flash one of those blue carts with Goomba loaded with gb games? I mean, I know they got suck a small capacity.

Thanks in advance

If you mean the firelinker then they do support the emulators like goomba. You just have to make it a single rom with the gb or gbc games integrated.

Sounds cool. It would be nice to burn minicollections on it (lets say 2-3 games), print a cover and add it to the shelf.

My fear is needing something for flashing. I dont plan on investing money for another cart reader/writer ( I alreayd own one for original GB)

haha I don't have any of those carts personally. But I like when indie devs use them to make limited runs of their homebrew creations. I don't see a use for them elsewise. I'm not into piracy. And I have a single EZFlash for things like rom-hacks, unreleased games and translation patches.

You have to use an original gba to flash the cart with a cable to your parallel port on your pc. If there is another way I'm not familiar with it. The cart usually comes with the needed cable though.

I heard you can flash stuff using a DS, but I dont really know how.
I dont have a parallel on my laptops, sadly.

:( My minicollections for the Micro should be forgotten, I guess

Well it may be possible. I haven't checked into doing it that way. I guess it should be possible since there are slot 1 cards that can send gba roms to slot 2 but I don't know if it works with that particular cart.
