Review G6 Lite Guides & FAQ!

[tama_mog]

what is that everyone saying that you should use chineese version if you want something with english?
does this 4.6c solve that problem or what?
TIA.

Pick the right version of g6 to support your native language, chinese version supports only chinese loaders + software, likewiser for english.

-Great guide !!!


-I have a GBA SP and a G6 Lite; I have updated the loader (v4.3 Original) with the new v4.6c English but when I go to view the GBA OS version G6 (in "about" tag) now I get "v4.4" always ... Is it normal???

Another question:

-I can't get to show a picture screenshoot neither in the preview window of the G6 U-DISK Manager v4.6c neither in the section of "Game - Game Flash" in the GBA Console: -It always show the default picture for all the games. Can somepeople tell me how I can get to view the right screetshoot for every game in the GBA Console ?.

--Thanks--

The casing choice has no effect whatsoever. There are some older flash cards however that let you format them to run a single ROM that boot directly, so if you owned one of those along with the real DS game, that would work. A solution for you would be to load the ROM along with the GBA one on the G6, link and run the game, let it save and transfer that save over to your real game card from the G6 Game Menu.

Thanks.
But what if i say wanted to trade pokemon from my rom'ed game to my original version would that work?

 

[TheSpade]

Trading in-between them would require 2 DS units.

 

[slayerspud]

Lol.
I mean say if i have a gameboy advanced with pokemon ruby in.

Then another gameboy advanced with a rom of say leaf green running.

Will i be able to trade?

 

[kingeightsix]

yes.

Last question.

Where can you get the firmware and burner updates from? because at the moment, handheldsources seems to be down.

 

[Demostrike]

I'd like to ask a question concerning the boot of the G6. I previously owned a Flash2Advance 256MBit cart for the GBA, I was simply wondering if it's possible to boot directly in to a rom rather than go through a menu. For example if you wanted to boot in to DSLinux or another menu program? The only real reason I wanted to know this is down to the customisability of the interface.

So I guess I'm also asking how customisable is the G6 interface?

Cheers

[slayerspud]

Put the two files in the root of your G6.
Then run in Gba mode and follow the instuctions.

Hope that helps, updating is as easy as it gets.

Is it normal for GBA games to take a long while to boot up? Booting up DS games is much quicker for me.

Is it normal for GBA games to take a long while to boot up? Booting up DS games is much quicker for me.

GBA and DS games seem to load in similar amounts of time for me, depending on the file size of the games.

I've read in some reviews that enabling compression for GBA roms makes it take much longer to load them. I've never bothered with it myself so I don't know for sure.

It's completely yet oddly normal.
