Transferring Hack to GBA Cartridge

[efilonn]

Okay, I made a hack of a Fire Red ROM, and I was wondering how do you put roms back onto the cartridge? If anyone can explain or link me somewhere that would be great.

You can order a GBA Flash cartridge online, you can put GBA games you download on it.
This here will help you.
I'm using EZF Advance flash cartridges and everything works fine, even Fire Red hacks I've put on it.

 

[WhereAmI]

An important thing to note: Even though the ROM is 32MB on the computer, you will need at least 256 MB cartridge to store and play it, I believe.

What about saving and trading? Does it all work still?

I wish I could put GBA Roms on my R4, but as far as I know, the R4 doesn't supporte it! Hopefully they make a frimware
update so that would be possible ^.^

Here's a warning though, if you put a downloaded rom on a Flash Cart for example Emerald you may not be able to use the Pal Park feature in Diamond and Pearl!

Huh? You sure? I thought you still could...

 

[Gerri Shin]

Does saving on a GBA flash card really differ that much from saving on a ds flash card? (also where might ppl find such an item as a gba or ds flash card?)

Okay, I know this is my first post, but I joined practically to ask this.

I have an EZV with an R4 (BTW, it's impossible to run GBA ROMs via the DS Slot, for those above) and I want to play ShinyGold and
Liquid Ocean on it.

Both glitch up.

Blue Sea works fine, but, alas, I cannot read spanish.

Is there ANYONE who can help me?

My friend has a G6 lite, and it works perfectly, except for the time when he tried to hack it, then it crashed, and all his games and save files went bye bye

 

[destinedjagold]

I don't quite understand what those G6 or everything means, but do all of ya here mean that you're transfering a GBA file to a GameBoy card to play it on your GameBoys..?

Just asking for I am still in the world of hacking. Eheheh. SOrry to bother.

Well, I want to play Firered´hacks on a supercard, too.
But you can't save in the hacks because the "backup memory is'nt installed"(?).
Can somebody help me?

I have a EZ-Flash II Card, 128Mb, and I can play GBA games on my DS normally. I put the roms on it from the pc and just play; it's awesome!

KandoMonium, that post had nothing to do with the topic and therefore was spam. Remember to read the topic carefully and make sure your post is relevant before posting.

If you have a Slot-1 flash card such as an R4DS, you can play GBA roms on it using EZFlash, which you can buy off various sites, such as DealExtreme. You have to get the Homebrew application that allows you to use it to play GBA roms. You can download that homebrew here. It's the 3in1 Expansion Pack Tool by Rudolph. It looks like a new version was made yesterday...
All GBA games should run perfectly, because it's using the emulator within the actual DS, and EZFlash only works for DS Lite, but I guess you could tamper with the plastic to get it to fit.
The only problem is it doesn't emulate all save types, so you may have to patch the rom.

Games with EEPROM and 512kbit Flash save types need to be patched with the EZ4 Client or
GBATA. Games with 1024kbit Flash save types need to be patched with the EZ4 Client.

I recommend reading the entire 'read me' which is available with the home brew download before you attempt to buy EZFlash, to make sure it will work with your flash card.

The other way to play gba roms would be to simply get a gba flash card. (They can get expensive sometimes.)

Can you transfer Pokemon from a ROM on your PC to a game you've installed on a flashcard? And from there, can you trade your Pokemon to a normal commercial GBA game?

You should be able to do it on a gba flash card with a normal gameboy advance or gba sp. (If you have the correct connectors.)

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Finally! This thread's perfect for me! Since I hate playing games on the VBA, I could finally play it on DS Lite!!

I have A Question... WHERE CAN I GET A FLASHCARD FOR A LOW PRICE?! Cause I Checked One Site And It Said $188.99. So I Was Like Wow! I'm Not Paying That Much!

It depends what flashcard you want and the price varies among different websites by a lot. I recommend the R4DS flashcard as a slot 1 card and I'm not sure of slot 2 cards, you may need to look around.
A few websites:
https://www.volumerate.com/(R4DS for $32.90 with free shipping)
https://www.dealextreme.com/(Doesn't sell R4DS anymore.)
https://www.gameyeeeah.com/(R4DS for $35.95 plus shipping)
https://www.amazon.com/(R4DS for $49.95)
You can search through these websites for what you want. With the R4DS, you need to buy a MicroSD memory card as well which can be found on those sites and various others as well. The memory cards are pretty expensive(about $20-30 depending what website/store) though, but they are ordinary cell phone memory cards.
