Hacking Flash2advance card without linker

[tan-tan]

I just bought an old Flash2Advance 256mbit card. It didn't come with any linker, but i do have a DS flashcard. Any software that'll let me flash a ROM to a slot2 card?

i have two of these cards but it seems like finding the parts is more trouble than its worth. there is a software called fas1 that ive been reading up on but youll need a DS and theres conflicting results on this application working with f2a carts.

You use a slot1 to run this to write to the F2A flashcart. Depending on your hardware version, you might or might not get it to work.
FAS1: https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/applications/download-fas1-1-5-f1650.html

Or you can use AKAIO if you got a Acekard flashcart.

just a question, is there any generic usb to gab cable out there that will allow me to flash this f2a cart? I have the serial cable but i dont have a serial port computer anymore... looking for another way to flash this cart besides the nds method with fas1

Edit:

Im on the verge of giving up and going to just buy a new 3ds with a supercard dstwo..

even getting the USB version of the F2A linker to work on a modern PC with an OS more recent than XP is a pita. I always have to run a Virtual machine in virtualbox to do that. but in the end, i no longer care. i just use my trusty ezflash IV, my Supercard miniSD and my Revo K101+ with the k-card. My f2A and the linker are sitting in the closet collecting dust.

btw, the FAS1 software for the DS does not work with F2advance cards.

weird, i got FAS1 v1.5 to flash my F2A(256M) cart. it recognized as Turbo FA.

and like HDIDT said, Acekard 2i(AKAIO) also works.

That is weird. I am going to ry this tonight with my F2A (128M) again.

EDIT: can you upload the FAS ROM you are running somewhere? I do know that I tried in the past and it wouldn't work. MAybe you have a special version that was compiled with F2A compatibility?

Just an update, I was surprised to see that 1.5f of FAS1 actually recognizes my F2A as a Turbo FA and actually flashes it. That is nice to know as fiddling with virtual machines on my PC is a hit and miss with the USB linker.
