X-ROM 512 Mb

Software

Now its time for me to try to transfer some games into the cart. But before that let me show you what i got defaultly in the cart.

The cart was built in with Pogoshell 2.0b3 and they have freeware games like Arkanoid. Some text file even Megaman2 (unplayable though. Ithink its just a song plugin) Also theres some Utilities in the rom it self like GBThread.gba which testing a multithread processing on the GBA i tihkn theres numbers and etc going on like Latest Prime numbers and Latest Fibonacci numbers. I dont knw what those are try it your self ;)

So now i need to figure out how the hell can i transfer the rom into the Cart. So i did a few readings (since theres no manual given LOL) and it turns out its quite simple.

1. Downlaod Little Writer and install (if you already have one ok)
2. Turn off Your GBA plug in the XROM with the GBA attach to it to your PC
3. Turn on Your GBA press START & SELECT 5 seconds till u hear a "Teleleleng...." sounds which in fact the Nintendo logo below the Gameboy Animation dissapears.
4. Then turn on little writer and youll here a "Triinngggg..." on your GBA which then your GBA turns black.

At this time little writer has connected with your GBA FLASH CART thru your GBA ;) isnt this COOL !!! Little writer then said that it wasnt made by little writer so u have to format the cart.. just format it ;)

I got an error the firs time i tried to erase the cart by RIGHT CLICK - ERASE. So then i just click the CARD --> FORMAT then it worked. It takes quite a while to format the cart. Lol it even has the easybuy2000.com wallpaper on the little writer. Nice ;) so total format time more less 2 minutes.

--- -----------

After i format the cart then i erase the cart. Then Little Writer will prompt u to use Multiple GBA ROM or single. I just choose multiple in the meantime to try out all the pokemon roms in one cart ;)

Well what do u know. It all fits with a little extra space behind. So now im trying to flash it and see how long will it take ... hope my GBA Battries doesnt run out. I think this might take some of your GBA battery life since that it uses the GBA as an interface between the cart and the PC.

Flashing .... (flashing icon is annoying though it keeps flashing) LOL

I tought it was almost finished ... 4 min 56 sec which infact it was only the Pokemon Sapphire was being flashed. So theres 4 more roms needed to be flashed. So each rom 128Mbit size takes around 5min or so to flash. So 512 will take 20 Minutes ...

*bumped*
......... i tot USB was faster than the old parrallel ;) 5min tops.

bah .. its still better than the old flash linker. You dont need extra power supply and this flashed directly thru your gameboy.

21 Minutes 01 seconds later ....

Now its time to rock an roll ... turned off your GBA and enjoy the games ;) what a great unit to have.
