Is there any decent flashcart for Game Boy & Game Boy Color?
The reason why I'm looking for one is because playing GB/C games on DS with Lameboy just doesn't feel right. I like to play games on their native system. This is the same reason why I prefer to play GBA games on a GBA even though I have a DS Lite.

Also I'm wondering if it's possible to get a blank GB or GBC cartridge and put a rom on it, if I wanted to play rom hacks on an actual Game Boy Color.

There was a thread around here but it seems my browser history has failed me (that or I am not thinking which at 2am is quite likely)

Most new GB/GBC flash carts coming out these days are single file only carts aimed at little sound DJ and lack the ability to manage multiple saves properly.

There are a couple of legacy carts still available but they are not what you might expect if you are coming from the DS or even GBA- they are very small, fiddly to use (requiring serial or parallel ports) and not as user friendly as their later system counterparts when they actually get on the GB/GBC.

For the other questions we usually say we hope you can swing a soldering iron and direct people at http://www.ziegler.desaign.de/readplus.htm

    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up

    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Try checking out the iFixit guides

    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What's the issue again?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    A small flathead screwdriver that just fits in the center unscrews triwing screws with ease

    *yawn* lets see what was my last blog po- DECEMBER!?
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Triwings are often included in phone/console repair screwdriver sets as well - those available in hardware stores. Have to read what's included carefully. Got one myself without realising it first. Usually those with lots of separate bits, torx, phillips etc.
