Awesome, I'll try it out. Thanks!

I have SMA4 with all 38 Levels on my Wii U; I'd just like to play those levels (or as many as them as possible) with an original cart on an actual GBA now and then.
I still keep my PAL clean savegames with e-Reader injected levels. I guess you want the USA one.

This is the old topic where everything started, but all links are down now :-(

I found a couple newer links in that thread that worked. I'm not 100% of what they were lol, but I think I might be able to use them with what Knight of Time shared and figure out a way to get the levels on my cartridge. Thanks!

I created two save files for SMA 4 using the e-reader. One is for the EUR VC release, the other for the US VC release.

Both have the red switch enabled on the first save slot as well as the e-reader levels. I found the red switch to be the only interesting one as it creates an extra challenge. Have fun!

I was about to post about that myself- thanks to a discovery by @Aurora Wright , we now are able to use FLASH128K save types in AGB FIRM. It's currently implemented in a beta of @Asdolo's New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS. (public release still pending)

check www.advanscene.com

I think eeprom still isn't supported
Actually, EEPROM8K is now supported too, so yes, just about every GBA rom now works in AGB FIRM.
Thanks again to @Aurora Wright for the discoveries which lead to these being added to the injector.

I'm actually re-doing all of my 117 or so GBA Injects over the next couple days to remove all unneeded SRAM patches and such.

Hello CheatFreak47. Excuse me, could you tell me more about the 128k and EEPROM8K compatiliby discoveries please? How can i convert Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario World 3 so it can load fine and it wont corrupt? Do i need some special conversion tool? Or can i use the footer generator and simple 3ds cia converter and just install the game?
I hope you can help me and tell me. Thank you :)

You just need the beta of the New Super Ultimate Injector. You'd need to PM Asdolo, though you won't be able to send PMs until you get 10 posts.

Hello @FateForWindows . Thank you for telling me that, i didnt know. I wrote to Asdolo in one of his posts though, i hope he can let me try the NSUI beta. But in the meantime, do you know if there is a tutorial to manually modify a gba rom and apply the 128kb/EEPROM save compatibility discoveries made by AuroraWright?

Manually doing it is a bit of a pain in the ass, I speak from experience.

Hello @CheatFreak47
Oh i see, i imagined it, but i would like to try, because im not sure if Asdolo will reply me, i still cannot PM anyone, and it would be great to finally play Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario Bros 3 without the save corruption and else. Do you know where can i find a tutorial and the tools? I found nothing.

If you have discord, just friend me and shoot me a IM and I'd be happy to help. My discord handle is CheatFreak#3799.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

    For your R4

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
