    i have just purchases a gba cartridge over the internet and it name is Elink GBA Flash Card Set and it works for GBA/GBASP/ GBM/NDS/NDSL/ iDS/iDSL (512M) what i would like to know is if it would be able to play pokemon brown or anything hacked roms or anything like that.

    It should play GBA hacks, but if your cartridge doesn't support GB ROMs, then if you want to play any GB games or hacks, you'll have to turn them to ".gba" files with PocketGBtoGBA so you can insert it in your cartridge.

    • In order to play any Gameboy or Gameboy Color games you can just use the eLink software to put them onto the cart. I have an eLink cart (1gb) and have owned a couple of them (i give them away to family and friends as gifts). As long as you have the software to the eLink you can put them on to it, as well as NES roms, and Text Files.

    If you want to put the Hacks onto your eLink, make copies of the original roms, then patch one of the copies. When you open the eLink software (assuming that you've gotten the updates), click on the tab that says "EBOOK&SIMULATOR". When you click that tab you'll see the followinf options below:

    ~ Ebook (with buttons underneathe that say "open text folder" and "add to burn list"

    ~ PocketNes (with buttons underneathe that say "Open NESROM folder" and "add to burn list"

    ~ GBC/GB EMU (with buttons underneathe that say "Open GB/GBC folder" and "add to burn list"

    You'll want to click on the button that says "Open GB/GBC folder". That'll open a window that you can drag and drop your hacked gameboy or gameboy color game into.

    Then you close the window, and click on the "add to burn list" button next to the "open GB/GBC folder" button. A screen will pop up with the "official" name of the rom, you can change that to whatever you'd like.

    After that it's ready to go onto your eLink rom cart, and you can play it!



    FYI the eLink Cart has no video or mp3 abilities, it was in the original idea for it, but was never fully developed for it.

    ok thanks when you mean no video or mp3 abilities does that mean no music and what do you mean for the video? and also if you ca play gameboy games on it how come it doesen't say that. 1 last thing so do i just open that folder up and drag the patched pokemon fire red into it? and click the burn thing

    What I mean is that alot of advertisements for the eLink say that the cart can play videos, as well as play mp3 files, but in reality there is no ability to do that.

    It doesn't say that because technically it's not NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, or Text Files directly on the cart. The eLink software uses other programs that come bundled with it to put the files onto the card in the form of a Gameboy Advance ROM.

    eLink comes from China, not America. There's the American Version of the site, but that's about it, and it's not that great of a site either.

    But if you have any questions about the eLink, send me a PM and I'll help you out. :D
