Nope but could maybe be useful for those that have played Pokémon and wants to transfer those Pokémons to newer gen if the DS game can recognize this cart as a valid cart.

I have multiple of them, they work with the pokemon games no issues without having to patch the flash saving like some other cartridges.

 

[emmanu888]

And they're picked up by the DS games if you want to migrate the Pokémons over in order to bring them over to Home at the end?

Hah. Maybe I'll pick one of these up for my friend so he can finally have an Emerald cart. $25 isn't bad at all. Anyone know if these work with the FunnyPlaying BurnMaster? It's the only cart flasher I have.

hmmmmm still have my EZFLASH OMEGA but curious if the fw can be modded (since it's open source) to work on the supercard gba carts since the compat is shit

I suppose this cart has the same issue as this other cart for SRAM games that are old SRAM like the Castlevania games?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008075270034.html

The issue I have is that it will not save for games with old SRAM games that have SRAM v110 or older like SRAM_F_V102 (256Kbit) on the castlevania games even when patched with metro-maniac's gba-flash.exe

Also this cart won't take any rom patched for batteryless save

Otherwise it seem to work for any SRAM game that has SRAM SRAM_V112 or V113 if patched with metro-maniac's gba-flash.exe and seems to work fine for EEPROM save type games when patched for SRAM and patched with metro-maniac's gba-flash.exe and of course Flash type save games without nay patching.

i bought one that is made with that exact design. you can easily tell by the board layout.
it came on a transparent shell, i put it into this green one from another cart that was one of those batteryless save patched trash and of an older romhack version to begin with.
this one has 128kb flash and no clock, that is fine as pokemon clover doesn't use it.
it works perfectly fine and flashing it with my joey jr. was as easy as always.

they work in the pal park on the DS

I will test shortly, just need to remember where I put mine

does not work on the BurnMaster

if i know we can do it with a NDS Lite ill buy one too.

I will test this also

burn2slot works on this cartridge


I would recommend getting a GBFlash writer, please do not buy fake clones they run VERY slowly do not save the extra $5 for headaches, Simon will sell a code to unlock them though, but will most likely cost more.

if you want a flash card for non-rtc pokemon, get this cartridge choose the Unbound one, you need to remove the solder joint from the pads at F0 and join the pads at D0 to make it a writable cartridge again (this is a 1Mb Flash save, not SRAM)

this works on the BurnMaster and Burn2Slot also

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a ChisFlash v1.2 cartridge with rumble support, and it came preloaded with Goodboy Galaxy, which works perfectly. The rumble feature is working fine, and the game boots with no issues.

However, when I tried to flash a different game, like Pokémon Pinball GBA, I couldn't get it to work.
Does anyone know the correct configuration for flashing with GBxCart RW using FlashGBX?

 

[Lingwendil]

Any particular reason you are using that insidegadgets profile rather than the one above in this thread that was confirmed working?

 

[Hirugaru]

Hello @Sakitoshi, hope you're well
I know its out of the blue, but I really wanna know from what store did you pick this flashcard from, thats just what I wanted, one without the RTC and with 1M Flash.

Can you help me find it too? Thanks!

Have you enabled the vibration setting in the game? Some games require manually turning on the vibration switch. Games with native vibration support will work, while for non-native vibration games, please check the website.

if you are looking for an unassuming, no rtc 1m flash save cart like mine, you are out of luck.
the one i bought is out of production. and most of the normal looking ones have fram save.
this is the best i could find. it has rtc, but if the game doesn't use rtc it ignores it and you can safely desolder the battery.

keep and eye on inside gadgets to see if they restock their no rtc 1m flash save carts.

Yeah, I searched Aliexpress for a while today and got to the same seller as you mentioned, but it costs twice as much as a Chisflash RTC and at this price its a little too much for me to cash out now, I believe its because it uses the GeekSimons board layout... It has many design features I like, the board seems really nice, but maybe I'll pick a chisflash rtc anyway, its cheaper and I already have one, so I know its a good cart.
Thanks for you answer and help!

if you want to take a gamble, buy this.

seems to be a 1m flash save cart and you can overwrite it with whatever you want.
