hi please can someone help,i have got a GBA SP i have also got the flash2advance usb linker cable and f2 advance 1g ultra flash card, the problem i am having is i am trying to download the roms and then put them on the card but i just cant seem to get it to work, i can play the roms fine on the pc,the software i am TRYING to use is F2A POWER WRITER or LITTLE WRITER and i just cant seem to do it.also there is some games on the card already that i want to take off but cant seem to do that either , this is really doing my head in as i know it must be so simple please someone help me.
I have heard that some roms do need to be patched so presumably this might fix any compatibility issues?
There is a PC software that has to be used that will patch the ROMS for you. It's all pretty much automatic. You simply select the ROMS, the software patches them and you copy the files that the software generates onto the card.
To apply the patch to the rom you will need SmartISP Download Smart ISP
After you have pached the rom you can test it on PC with GBA Emulator or use Flash Advance Linker to store the rom on a Flash Card and play it Gameboy Advance!
IPSWin 2.0 seems to work well. I just updated my post with the link. visit the page and look for this software. Note: you cannot directly download the software on the site i gave you. you have to visit that site since they have antileech on.
thanks for help i tried that software you was saying and just cant seem to get it to work i feel so dumb lol i downloaded a rom from this site and tried that aswell but still no luck, like i say it plays perfect on my pc but i just can seem to get it across to the gameboy, never the less i will keep trying
never used a flash cart for the GBA before but just to cover the basics did you extract the file from the archive(.rar or .zip)? because if you didnt it would explain why it would work on the pc and not the gba. The pc emulators are made to be able to run games that are still archived so they can save space but the GBA flash cart may not be able to do so.
thanks for all the help guys i have finallt sorted it wooohooo lol, there is a rom that im after though i am looking for super ghouls and ghosts for the gba any help
ok im slowly getting the hang of using this now the thing im stuck on now is how do you erase just 1 game(rom) from the cart i can add them to the cart fine but say when it gets full and i want a knew game on there the only way i seem to be able to do it is to erase the whole cart and start again, suryl there must be a way of just erasing 1 rom, please help me or correct me if im wrong
