Where would a Good Place be to Purchase a Working GBA Flash Cart as of July 2013?

Also if I Can't get one Will my EZ Flash 3 in 1 Work on Game Boy Micro if I Flash the ROM to the NOR and Cut off the Bit that Sticks out?

For a gba flashcart, see the other thread: http://gbatemp.net/threads/buying-a-gba-flash-cart-in-2013.341203/
your in the same boat as everyone else that wants one. Time is running out for you with this option, so choose something soon.

As for the 3in1, you can shave off the overhangs that make the 3in1 fit in the slot. Your problem becomes how do you plan to remove it once you insert it as it sinks into the slot area. You will need to add some kind of pull tab or install a handle of some kind. Your other option is to use a retail cart and gut it for use with the 3in1.

Nice! I didn't know you could use the 3in1 like this, how would i flash to Nor? Would I use my PC? Or a DS?

A DS or DSL would always be required. A 3in1 requires a slot1 flashcart to write the game to NOR for you to use.

So a Mini EZ 3 in 1 Would Potentially work on a Game Boy Micro?

There isn't any need to use "mini" or "lite" to describe the 3in1, any 3in1 you get will only work for the DSL. The ones that fit into the DS or a GBA/SP/micro are the only ones with term "phat" to describe a full GBA sized version, thing is you can't get the phat version anymore either.


A 3in1 is a stripped down EZ-Flash IV without external storage, so of course they work in a GBA/SP/micro.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
