does the G6/G6L have any kind of "GBA slot" emulation in conjunction with loading a DS game? for games like RMZX, RMEXE5 (Twin Leaders), Dawn of Sorrow, etc.

for those who don't know what i'm referring to, it's basically an add-on feature you get for having a GBA game slotted in when you're playing a DS game. in RMZX, you get to fight bosses from RMZ3 and RMZ4, depending on which game you have slotted in.

yes. you can emulate it by hitting x on the gba rom before loading your ds rom. it does this by transferring gba data to the sram. i konw it does this bc i have a g6.

Some games like Eyeshield 21 DS unlock new teams if you have the GBA cartridge inserted in the GBA slot.
If there IS a method to emulate said slot, it would be a great flashcart attribute/asset.

As mentioned above the G6 does allow you to unlock GBA features. Off of memory I believe you go to mycard highlight the GBA rom you want to "preload" hit X and it will load it into the memory. Then go and load your DS game and it should work. That's off memory....if it doesnt work I will get off my ass and grab my Ds to double check for you

Well, I just tried every possible combination.. directly copy, raw drag n drop, etc with

Advance wars dual strike + advance wars
Castlevania dawn of sorrows + castlevania aria of sorrows
Rockman ZX + rockman Zero 4

Results... nada. It took me a fair time of about 40min to rewrite and test it carefully in every combination I could think of. So im assuming it doesn't work yet.

that may be one of the advantages of using the ninjads flash card (the one that is just a nds card, not gba cart needed)...like have the g6 lite with the gba rom and the ninjads with the ds game....maybe?

It's the software (loader) not functioning correctly, so if you are using a ninjads you will still atm need the original gba cart of the game to make this work. Till the G6 team properly fixes this function.

Well there has to be a way to get it to work what is the point of "pressing X does indeed load the gba game into memory" if it doesn't work. Someone should e-mail the G6 Team about it.

That wouldn't work because the g6 isn't a real gba card, it won't have things in the right place and you can't do that unless in the g6.
