Hacking Game Boy Advance Ambassador Games in Gateway Mode

[Arras]

Can people on here actually READ what was asked BEFORE commenting? He asked if he formatted his system can he still get the games back. YES HE CAN since the downloads are tied to the serial number. He'd have to download them from eShop or if he has them backed up to an SD card.

there is no way to get them back after a system nand format again, keeping it on 4.5 FW?

keeping it on 4.5 FW?

4.5 FW

I don't think just having them backed up to an SD card is enough as the NAND will forget that they were installed at some point, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

240x160 upscaled to 1620x1080 looks good?

I said they run quite nice. Point being it's best to play on original hardware in native resolution. Even if that means the screen is 3".

I take back what I said about the Ambassador games. I wasn't aware that they are specific to the early adopters. I thought it was just a fancy name for VC titles, come to find out they aren't for sale, nor are any other GBA games. Now I want them...

Can anyone transfer Ambassador credentials to an XL or did Nintendo make an exception?

Yes you can. The games and the Certificate are transferable to your new system. So, if you had an ambassador unit like me and bought an XL, you can transfer them.

Would that mean they are available on the old system as well or are they deleted once you sign in again? I ask in case I wanted to buy one second hand and the seller had already transferred to a new system. I assume Nintendo wouldn't let that happen, requiring both systems to be online during the transfer or something like that.

No. If you transfer them, they are gone.

If someone did not take advantage of the downloads a couple of years ago, will they still show up as "redownload" on FW 7.x or emunand? Can I check for certain that a system qualifies via the serial number here?: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/sy...ssador.jsp?menu=how&submenu=ctr-ht-amb-lookup

Thinking of finding an old one on CL and asking for serial numbers before buying.
