I'm looking for a GBC Flashcart/copier. Specifically if it's a flashcart, one that can be used in conjunction with the N64 TransferPak (Pokemon Stadium) without modification (Like the Everdrive GB needs) or a copier that I can use to backup from/inject into carts a save file.

I'm aware that in this day and age it's pretty hard to come by something like this (as a thorough few google searches and even some GBATemp threads here have shown.) Still, does anyone know where I can find one of these?

Also I know you can build one but that's a bit above my skillset and available tools.

You will need one that has an MBC3 chip as Pokemon has problems with MBC5. There is a patch you can get for Pokemon to prevent glitches when playing normally on a gameboy but Stadium will still have problems as that will still try to use the MBC3 chip (and the patch also prevents GB Tower from working).
Sadly Everdrive GB is the only commercially available flash cart with MBC3 support. SmartCard works perfectly with a Transfer Pak but is missing the MBC3 chip.

The only flash cart option is to make a custom one. Unless you're looking to play a Stadium compatible hackrom, best option is to play an official Pokemon cart.

If you're just looking for a save backup tool. I suggest Mega Memory Card if you can find one.

Thank you. I managed to find, buy and recieve a Mega Memory card in the time it took since the OP, and Initially I was just looking to back up savefiles. Next will be a flashcart with SD/usb capability to transfer those saves onto a computer.

I finally managed to purchase a good copier and it works really good. For anyone else in the future reading this thread, check this page to purchase one (Assuming they're in stock at the time and not cancelled by now.)

Since this thread is no longer needed I'll report a mod to close it. Thanks to the above members for helping me.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
