Homebrew Burn2Slot - Re-programm GBA bootlegs on DS

[JadulKekinian]

Can i get help with this, it says it's mitsubishi haha, but the chip it's different i tried a game but get a white screen on boot, it was a Fire Red bootleg, ty! @VROdin

it seems old bootleg cart, I think only new repro cart can be re flashed.

Hi VROdin
can you make it for gb macro, so it can run if I only have bottom screen.

Thank you

Make it later

Would it be possible to create a tool to extract and inject savegames? I have several emulator-finished games that I would like to inject into cartridges.

Hi.

Would there be an info tool that could report the cartridge information and compatibility without trying to burn the game ?

Thanks.

I just remembered this existed when I stuck my flashcart in my phat DS. Always liked seeing consumer-grade technology doing the sorts of things usually reserved for professional-grade.

Was trying to flash on this chip but it errors out with UNKNOWN

If possible, it would be nice that you add support for it

Hi.

Yesterday i sucessfuly flashed a Pokemon Ruby copy from Aliexpress i don't know if that information contributes on the development but.. it has a Spansion S29GL128N10TFI01 and a ISSI IS62LV1024LL-70Q chip on it i don't know wich of those is the flash memory (guess it's the Spansion one). I "replaced" the pokemon rom with a metroid fusion one though i had to patch it to save without battery. Im just saying this because when reading the thread i saw some people were having problems with saving and trying to patch your roms so.. there's a small repository of Batteryless IPS Files here: https://github.com/acocalypso/batteryless-patches
Hope this helps someone.

Here's some pics i took from imgur of the reflashed board



Thanks VROdin in advance for developing that homebrew that helped me a lot! hope the information i posted here be useful to someone and sorry if i did some typos cause english is not my native language

 

[Marcio992]

Did anyone have any luck with this approach? Repros I've dumped won't burn back, and won't open in emulators.
If the Aliexpress repro producers are able to save patch the roms so easily it must be a relatively simple procedure

Hello.

You need to Baterryless patch you rom before flash it on the cartridge otherwise will not save. in acocalypso github on batteryless-patches you can find some IPS Files to inject on your rom to make it Batteryless and consequently save sucessfuly.
You can inject the IPS Patch online trough Rom Patcher JS (it's attached on github topic).

Will GBATA's SRAM patcher work too?

Unfortunately GBADATA, BatchGBA and others will not work for batteryless purposes. The kind of patch that those programs offer are to ADD battery to a bootleg cartridge.

You can already do that with GBABackupTool

I wiped my repro of the hack Pokemon Snakewood for testing purposes, but I want to flash back an updated version of Snakewood - except there's no dedicated patch for that hack. Would a patch for the base game the hack was built from (or a different hack based off the same base game) work instead?

It may or may not work, it depends on whether the new version of the ROMhack uses the same region of ROM which the patch uses for saving.
