Roms et Emu sur cartouche GBA Flashable et Nintendo DS
Ce que nous avons testé
A l'heure actuele, il n'existe aucune cartouche NDS Flashable ni
Linker capable de recevoire des backup de roms de Nintendo DS donc nous
avons testé la compatibilité des cartouches flashable pour GBA avec la
NDS.
At this point we looked at the most simpele and at the same time the most important things.
- Can you play Games from "GBA Flash Card name..."
- Does the Card & Linker backup set works with Nintendo DS
These gameboy linkers and card will not play Nintendo DS roms and you can't backup NDS Roms using GBA Backup device but you can play Gameboy Advance Roms on DS as well as emulate GB, GBC, NES, SNES, PC Engine, Z80, SEGA Game Gear and Master System roms etc.
How we tested.
Just to be sure all the Linkers and Carts were first connected to GBA SP and after we made sure they work - we put them to the DS test..
| EZ2 PowerStar | Works nicely and saves DS battery power. | ||||||
| EZ-Flash 2 EZ-Cart | Works nicely and the cartridge fits perfectly. | ||||||
| EZ-Flash (1st Gen) | Works as it should. [Start GBA game.] | ||||||
| GBA QBus / QBoy | Works on Advance, SP and NDS. | ||||||
| XG-Flash | Works as it should. [Start GBA game.] | ||||||
| XG2 Lite | Works as it should. [Start GBA game.] | ||||||
| XG2 Turbo | All works nice | ||||||
| XG2T Plus | Works nice - and you can change battery without taking the XG2T cartridge out of the console :) | ||||||
| XG-Flash (1st Gen) | Works as it should. Start GBA game. | ||||||
| GBA ECube 1G | Start GBA game opens Game selection screen same as on GB | ||||||
| EZF Advance | EZFA Card works | ||||||
| Flash Advance Card | Works fine If you can make the card fit perfectly (we had to take it apart - but after that it worked) |
||||||
| Flash2Advance | Same as FlashAdvance Pro card mentioned above | ||||||
| F2A Ultra | Works the same as it does on GBA. No modification needed. | ||||||
| GBA X-ROM | Works perfectly the same as on Gameboy Adv. & SP | ||||||
| GB-Bridge | Doesn't fit inside NDS - GBA Game Pack Slot. (DS cartridge port is shaped NOT to accept GB/GBC games cartridges as they will not work on it - same with GB-Bridge.) |
||||||
| GBA Link | Works. Unzip speed the same as before - slow. | ||||||
| G6flash | G6 Loader Games and G6PDA software all works fine. | ||||||
| G-BANK SD | After we updated G-Bank Firmware from Version 2.0 to V3.12 [Download] it started working on NDS! (Thanks Teo) |
||||||
| Wise Card | Most of the times NDS fails to recognize the cartridge and you get [ There is no Game Pak inserted.] We did manage to get it boot once - the next time we reinserted the card in to the DS same NO Game. And the whole time it did work perfectly if we put it into ADVANCE or SP. | ||||||
| GBA Movie Player * | Both the original version and the new improved version works on Nintendo DS. NOT for GBA ROMS - NES roms and also small GB roms work! | ||||||
| EZ-Flash 3 EZ3 | -- will be tested later (users report that it works) | ||||||
| Extreme Flash Advance | -- will be tested later (users report that it works) | ||||||
Colors Explained
*
GBA Movie Player is not a GBA or DS Backup device. The latest bios
update to the device makes it possible to play NES roms from Compact
Flash cards and we ave figured out a way to lunch emulated GB roms but
the main purpose of the Movie Player is to play Video and Audio. |
|||||||
NDS Flash Linkers As you see most of the carts work with NintendoDS but now comes that bad new - Nintendo has decided NOT to include GBA Link port [EXT.1] on DS. What this means is that you can not use Linkers that were made to connect to GBA/SP multiplayer link port with NDS.

If you have Flash2Advance USB, X-ROM, XG2 Turbo, G6flash, EZFA or ECube Linker If you don't have a Gameboy you need one of the folowing External Writers / Linkers:

Conclusion
From our tests you can see that most of the GBA Flash Cards can be used on Nintendo DS. If you have bought a backup device for GBA - don't trow away your gameboy as chances are you will have to use it for writing roms - no link port on DS. If you have NDS and want a flash card for GBA, GB Color, SNES, NES roms etc. - look at the Sets with the External Writers!
(we do hope that somebody will come up with a way of linking PC to Nintendo DS usind WiFi router so we can write roms over wireless connection!)
What we learned.
In GB ADVANCE and old GAME BOY™ is the Nintendo logo didn't apear you knew that the game pak is not fully inserted - with the NDS you will allways see the NintendoDS screan before getting the menu where you see if you can start a NDS Game / PictoChat / DS Download Play / Start Advance game...
[ There is a DS Option Pak inserted ] Nintendo has suggested that there could be accessories for NDS that will use the gameboy cartridge slot to conect to DS - could this message be a sign of our DS thinking that such an accessorey / option pack is added? DS Rumble packs anyone?
[Thanks for these shots go to our friend Jay]
