Help with elink card

[Barranqueiro]

Hi, I'm new around this forum so I don't know who can help me.
Just got a elink cart (old af, I know), was working great with the pre loaded games but i want it to put more games on it. Followed the tutorial about virtual machines for legacy GBA flashcards (very good tutorial btw), burned some games on the elink but i can't make them work (white screen always)
If anyone knows how to solve this, please help me

Try looking at what they posted here - maybe it will help:

Do they display the Game Boy & Nintendo logo before whitescreening? Have you tried any homebrew ROMs, including multiboot homebrews?

I was testing with some roms that I use for years (Pokemon fire red, FF tactics). The flashcard boots normally, I select the game, the screen keeps white on fire red and black on FF but i can select the special menu using L+R+Start.
The only ROM that worked, was the goomba made by the burner itself (don't know why, but was lagging really hard on shantae)

Maybe the flashcart's memory has gone bad. Try this test ROM. If the hash produced is different to the one in the filename, it means the memory can't be read correctly.

Tested and looks like there is no problem. Was trying the hash ROM too, but looks like is for test if a ROM is patched right I think (don't know much about homebrew and patching)

update: was running some tests and dont know why, but there are some roms that work (event pokemon roms, test rom and goomba made by the elink program) and some that dont (like all the rest of gba games i tested). If someone has another hint of what could be happen, im all ears

I think best you create a thread where you will get a better answer. Saying that to answer your question.

I think you should maybe try it through a virtual machine with older windows.
