What reasonably priced GBA is to go to these days? I only have an original Flash2Advance and EFAII. Both of which are quite awkward to use these days

I recently bought two Flash2Advance carts (one of them was sold as broken) as a historical curiosity. Yes, they are very awkard to use nowadays, but some of them should work with the GBflash so that's something worth trying, I was able to flash stuff to my 256M cart.

As for a reasonably price flashcart, the Superchis Prime is among the best for it's price.

Seems to me that being able to use it with a regular GB using the GB Bridge would be a useful selling point. Did the GB Bridge just not work very well?

I only have one flash card at the moment. It's an R4i SDHC HappyBox 1.41. I'd like to get the very first versions of PassMe.

I didn't know about the existence of the GBbridge, seems like an interesting concept, the part about having the ability to play GBC games on GB is specially interesting to me. Can anyone explain how this would work?

It's not that fancy – if you load GBC ROMs on your Flash2Advance, then the GB Bridge will let you use it on a GBC. This is normally impossible for standard GBA flashcarts as they operate at completely different voltages than the GB/GBC. So, no you can't somehow use GBA or GBC games on a GB using this technology.

(Someone did, coincidentally, just announce a new and completely unrelated software solution, also called GB Bridge, for playing GB games on a GBA.)

The main downside to the GB Bridge other than it being cumbersome to write to a F2A cart on modern systems is that its very bulky.

The GB Bridge works by using logic shifters to do 8-bits, turning the F2A into essentially a GB/GBC cartridge.

I own a 32GB micro SD card, does that count? lol (DSi)

Currently I have an R4i (or whatever, it's a DS flashcard I use in my 3DS to play DS games), I also have an old R4 card that's in my DS (only ever used when it's a game that needs the GBA slot for an accessory, which is the paddle controller, that's my only reason to ever power on my DS, but what a good reason, that should have never gone out of style, that type of controller should still be around, and if you don't know about it (I didn't, I just got it because I love useless accessories) it's close to the best thing that ever happened to gaming, plenty of concepts being possible apart from pong, space invaders and puzzle bobble.

I also have an EverDrive for my Famicom... That's it, I hardly ever play anything else, I have loads of other consoles though (most with HDDs) I just never return to them and see no reason to connect them to the TV or power grid.

I used to have a flash cart for my GBA, before that I don't think they existed, don't know what happened to it, but the handheld broke, so I probably gave it away. Those were good times.

I own a acekard 2i from 2007 the back of the shell is gone but i square shaped electrical tape to keep the shape has made it work in my og 2007 dslite ( the gold one)

 

[gh5tbusters]

If I'm not mistaken, I have an R4i-SDHC. I got mine for my DS in February.

 

[Ghost-Babel]

There are a bazillion other threads on that particular subject at this point, sir. Depending on your needs, a flashcart may be entirely superfluous.

The Ace 3DS X would probably be fine for DS games. There was another thread suggesting that Stargate clones aren't so bad for 3DS games, but they're still kind of expensive.

 

[Ghost-Babel]

id like to be able to play my gba and gbc collection on my 3ds mainly. some of them i bought on the eshop, like links awakening, but others like ghost babel arent available.

figured id ask here instead of searching through a "bazillion threads."
