Supercard GBA.

[phil8715]

I've recently bought a Supercard GBA to use in my Gameboy Micro.

Apart from one rom, all the other roms loads and play quite well.

The rom I'm having trouble loading is Polarium Advance. Everytime I attempt to load it, I just get a white screen, it will not load

I've tried getting the rom from different sources and I also tried the romset it was in, all to no avail. I've also tried it on a GBA SP and a DS but again it won't load in any console. Bizarrely it works via an emulator on my PSP Go and PSP

I would actually consider buying it if I could find it cheap enough on ebay.

Has anyone got any idea how to get rom to run?

Thank you in advance.

You really want to play Polarium without a touchscreen? To each their own I guess.

Anyway most likely it is one of those games the supercard does not run (it is a rather weak card when all is said and done, slowdowns and incompatibility being common symptoms of this), it might also be one with a clock (memories of something here, also "daily puzzles") but I will have to confirm that.

If it does not work with the stock supercard software then chances are it is not going to work that easily with the supercard. Outside chance it is just RTC but I am not aware of anybody taking a proper look at it (again Polarium without a touchscreen...) and it is not an easy style of hack to make if you are not already versed in such matters.

Polarium Advance is just for the GBA hence it doesn't use a touch screen.

I do have the DS version which you need a touch screen.

I've just checked my PSP gba emulator with Polarium Advance and it does have a daily puzzle.

However the original Gameboy advance didn't have any sort of clock or anyway of telling the change of day. Unless of course it was in the cart.

A few carts had this. Boktai, Boktai 2, Pokemon Ruby/Saphire/Emerald and probably others.
