So what can I do with a flash card?
There is so much more to flash cards than just free games! No
doubt games is why we get the GameBoy in the first place, but why limit
it - your GB can do a lot more with a little help rom the XG or F2A
;)

| GBA ROMS |
Without a doubt the most important purpose for having
a gba flash card is the ability to play freeware and backuped commercial
gba roms. You have access to literary thousands of free games |
|
| NES ROMS |
If GBA roms isn't enough than hear this - you can near perfectly
emulate 8bit Nintendo Entertainment System games that is NES roms
on you Advance or GBA SP. Also new PocketSNES
emu for SNES roms will
let you emulate them on gameboy - but so far without sound and compatibility
is limited to about 50 snes games. |
|
| GBC ROMS |
Flash2Advance, F2A USB, FA Xtreme Pro and Turbo cards are backward
compatible with GB/GBC roms. You can even play old black and white
games with colors. Can use the above listed flash cartridges both
in the new Advance and old Color Game Boy, but for that you need
GB-Bridge adapter, that makes the cartridge fit in GBC & GB b/w.
Also GB and GBC games can be emulated. |
|
Spectrum roms
and more |
Now not to surprise you but yep - its not only nintendo games
that can be played/emulated on GBA. There are 3 emulators that let
you play Spectrum Z80 roms, 2 for SEGA Master System SMS roms, 1
for Turbo
GraFX, GB, GBC, Arcade, Atari 2600 and Chip8 roms! GAMEBOY |
|
| E-Books & .txt |
You can create your own gba e-books with pictures and
even sound or read regular PC .txt files. |
|
| Movie files |
If a movie has to be specially encoded for gameboy to understand
it. Convet your AVI and MPG movie files to gba roms that you can
view on Gameboy using Flash Cards or on PC with VisualBoy Advance
emulator |
|
| Music / MP3 |
There are music players for Flash Cards that merge
MP3 files in a format that can be played on GBA |
|
| Photo JPG, BMP |
Make your own photo albums with transition and special
FX to show to your friends or just to keep your favorite photos
always with
you.
PogoShell
has plug ins that support direct viewing of JPG and BMP image files
on the flash card! |
|
| GBA Pogo Shell OS |
PoGo Shell for GBA is something similar to Windows
for PC. It lets you install programs in the form of plug-ins that
will enable you to write NES, Z80, TXT, MIDI, JPG and other files
to the flash card and launch them inside Gameboy with the appropriate
application. Something like turning GB into a PDA. Other features
include SaveGame management - save more game save files on one cartridge
by compressing the files and auto extracting when you load the GBA
rom to play. |
|
| And so on.. |
Other programs that you can use with Flash equipped
Gameboy include Advance CALCULATOR, Drawing application similar to
Paint, Notebook / Calendar and loads of demos |
|
|
If Nintendo didn't mean to make GAMEBOY open source
that Flash Advance Cards certainly did it. Run any 3rd party code
on gba without any modifications of risk of damaging the system.
Before you take out the flash card all the information is saved
on it and erased from the GBA VRAM memory so nobody can see if
you
used it or not..
