GBALdr is a program written by cory1492 that allows you to flash GBA games (or .ds.gba homebrew) to the NOR flash memory on the EZ-Flash 3-in-1 with a non-EZ-Flash slot 1 cart. It also allows you to manage saves from the 3-in-1. It requires a slot 1 flashcart with full DLDI support, so the G6 Real can't run it yet.

The best source of information is the GBALdr thread at the EZ-Flash forums: http://ezflash.sosuke.com/viewtopic.php?t=4749

I have personal experience with it, if you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them.

hmm... no G6... wasn't there a remake tho? like GBALdr SRT or something?

I think thats what I have... so just another save backer upper?

EDIT: ooh ooh ooh!!!!! it says it can backup GBA games!!! thats what I NEED!!!!! to bad I cant do my "Well it's been said but hey! he's wrong lets try to boot anyway! ... *BEEP*!!!" shiznip...
I still don't have my DS but it's already at the place/factory/portajon!

(dropped it off on Monday)

Can you translate that from ADHD speak to English?

Do you have a 3-in-1? A slot 1 cart? What are you trying to do?

GBALdr can dump retail GBA games, but it can't read or write the saves.

 

[juggernaut911]

I REALLY want to dump my own games!!!!
I use save send for GBA saves EEPINATOR for NDS saves... so I'm covered.

I don't have a 3-n-1 nor a slot 1 (I have ARDS! SCHWING!!!)

MISSION: BACK UP GBA GAMES!!!


and NDS games too... >_>

You can get a 1GB N-Card from Dealextreme.com for $29.04 with free shipping. That will allow you to dump GBA games with GBALdr.

hmmm... needed slot 1... I'll keep that in mind when I get either G6 Real, R4, or something...

thnx so so so sos so so os oap aosma ska aks KA SPACE much!!!


EDIT: o ya!

y do I need slot 1?!?! for the storage while game in slot 2?

 

[Destructobot]

You need a slot 1 cart to dump GBA games with GBALdr. I'm sure it would be possible for someone to write a program for dumping GBA games with a slot 2 flashcart (you might have to swap carts 10 times though), but GBALdr is specifically designed for slot 1.

The only other methods of dumping GBA games that I know of require the hardware that was used for flashing old GBA flashcarts. Either a GBA and a cable to connect it to the computer, or an external flashing device of some sort. None of that stuff is very easy to find anymore.

hmmm... okay... thanks! buy the looks of things... gonna get G6 DS REAL!!!!!!!! (no kidding)

 

[Destructobot]

Don't get one until they release the DLDI driver. They can promise whatever they want, but for all we know it could be months before they get around to releasing it.

 

[OSW]

Yeah seconded. i was keen on buying G6 Real but they haven't come through on their promises. I'm waiting it out for the moment.
