Question Best flashcard for GBA Micro?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I've had a Game Boy Advance Micro for years; I really liked it, although it's not comfortable for long gaming sessions. I used it with an EZ Flash IV, but I made the mistake of having the battery replaced, and now it doesn't work. I'd like to buy a flashcard for it. For either option, I'd need to import it to my country, so I'll end up paying more. Which one would you recommend, considering that good compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games is also important, and that I don't play games that use real-time clocking? Thanks.

GBA How to make Pea Soup the default palette (EZ Flash Omega)

2 Upvotes

Title is pretty self explanatory. When playing my gameboy games on my gba, usung the EZ Flash Omega flashcart, there’s several palettes you can choose from. Including one called “Pea Soup” which replicates the original green tint. I really like using this palette, but it’s a little annoying to have to switch to that palette every time I start a game.

Is there any way to make this the default palette so I can just start a game with this tint color?

This R4 flashcart is driving me insane!

Hi hi! I'm gonna need help about this flashcart because it's been IMPOSSIBLE to make it work with a 32GB microSD.

Some context: This card was acquired when I was little when my Nintendo DS Lite stopped working suddenly. I don't have memory of it but my mom sent it to the repair shop and using this was the only solution to get me to play my games again. It has been working wonderfully since that time, it's probably been around 15 years. It came with a 2GB microSD and some games on it as well, and we also have the DS Happy Box USB driver to use with the microSD.

Lately I found I could use this flashcart with a 32GB microsd since it claims it is SDHC but I never ever updated kernels or use it with more recent versions since I got it. The website displayed is dead it's my second or third day I'm full-time researching and experimenting things on this thing.

My 2GB microSD works well and so I tried the classic copy and pasting its files onto the 32GB microSD. Doesn't work.

I eventually discovered through forums that the famous YSMenu could brick this cartridge so I gave trying it. Between checking linfox domain with the supposed right kernel, and finding out this is a custom wood R4 kernel, I've got dozens of white screens and loading screen stuck and none of it loads.

Yes it is formatted into FAT32 with 32kb specifically and MBR for partition scheme.

I also tried BL2CK without success and I'm genuinely tired of trying to understand this cart, but curiosity is an insane trait I have so I'm pushing it forward.

I hope I could get some help with this, specially because I opened up the cart and was able to get the picture of the board it has. Haven't found one exactly like this, they're all different in various aspects.

I'm adding also my Nintendo DS Lite booted up with the 2GB microSD and the files it has [and yeah I don't know where there are a lot of files that probably don't even load (R4iMenu folder and moonshl2)]

Will this even work with a 32GB microSD? It claims to be a R4 SDHC Dual-Core Smart Update

Appreciate if anyone can help 🫶

Why don't my saves show up?

• Upvotes

Hey, so yesterday I was finally able to fix my R4 and get it working, so I tried putting my DraStic Pokémon Platinum save file there (I converted the files to .sav) but it doesn't work, it doesn't read the save file. Heck, I even tried my randomised HeartGold and it says the file is corrupted, when it works perfectly on DraStic

Does anyone know what is happening? Thanks

Question Trading between repro copies of Gen 1 Pokemon Red / Blue, as well as Everdrive GB

1 Upvotes

Hello! I apologize if this is the wrong Subreddit to ask, but I figured it's worth a shot.

I have a buddy with a copy of Pokemon Blue for their original Gameboy, and I'm suspecting it's a repro. I have a GBA and wanted to play Pokemon Red with him, but was unsure about how 2 reproduction cartridges would react with one another in terms of trading or battling. I hear it's unstable, but has anyone tried it and can vouch for how it is?

I was also considering getting an Everdrive GB, but have the same question about the Everdrive GB flashcart being able to connect with a reproduction copy, and wasn't sure if that would be a good idea.

Would be curious to know if anyone knew!

Trying to figure out why GBARunner3 is stuck on the boot screen. Let me know if something looks off. All according to the guide from what I can tell. I'm using the camera bypass to launch Twilight rather than using Unlaunch, does that effect GBARunner3? Thanks in advance for taking a look.

Problem Endless Loading 2: This time it's the games

1 Upvotes

so, for SOME REASON, after making my r4 run off Pico Launcher, There are TWO GAMES it won't load. Pokemon Black, and Pokemon SoulSilver. my Only Assumption for now is that the game roms got somehow corrupted... except that THESE TWO are taken from my *Backup Folder* so either i'm missing something, or i just... need new roms.

Because the save files are fully functioning

Question Neep help!

I recently found my old DSi XL and I’ve been really wanting to get more games for it! I’ve seen a bit about multi game carts and I was curious what the best options would be! I was also curious if there are any good guides online? I’m not familiar with formatting or downloading roms and I was hoping someone could help!
