Hacking no ez4 lite on game boy player?

[pan]

hi i always read that flashcarts would work on the game boy player so i just got a ezflash iv deluxe... i don't have a GBA, but the cart doesn't even seem to fit in the game boy player! with the label side up it just doesn't go in, and with label side down it just slides down and doesn't connect to anything. i'm obviously not familiar with real gba carts.. am i retarded or does the ez4 lite not fit in the game boy player? =(

"Lite" cartridges are ONLY for Nintendo DS Lite.

They don't fit into GBAs, GB Micros, GBA SPs, Game Boy Players or Nintendo DS Phats. Just DS Lite.

haha whoops...

thanks


also, so then do the non-LITE ez products work on the lite?

Yes, the GBA kits that aren't sized specifically for the DS Lite work fine in the Game Boy Player.

 

[Elrinth]

yes, my EZ2 would presumably work on the gameboy player

ahh... so do the actual contacts differ on the gba ds lite, or is the ez4 lite just designed too small? as though if i were to take apart the game boy player, would the ez4 lite actually connect to it?

The carts just not deep enough. Go invest in an old GBA GameShark or Pro Action Replay or some other device like it that will extend the cart slot and it will work.

oo cool, thanksthanks. finally just this last query:

do the non-LITE ez products work on the lite?

 

[Vincent Vega]

Yes, it works but they don´t fit perfectly as the GBA dust cover of DS Lite.
It sticks out like an original GBA cartridge.

alrighty, thanks all. the gameshark in the ez4 lite in the game boy player works like a charm
