GBA Smart Card - Antique Flashcart - Searching For Long Lost Softwares - Help! 

Fingers crossed for you finding drivers, would definitely be useful backing up saves and maybe even getting saves online with all characters unlocked etc.

Hey man. On our regional gbforum there was once an article about this smart card. The software to it is called: GBWRITER - you should easily find it on google.

I always check to see if you've uploaded something on my break at work and found this has just gone up! It's about the GBA, too, Fantastic!

Hey this is exactly how my atari2600 backup cartridge works. I made a reader/writer that connects to the pc which allows me to save digital copies of all of my 2600 games and then put any game on the battery backed ram cartridge. I was wondering if something similar existed for other systems and you just showed me the gba has such a device made for it. Thanks for sharing!

Left a comment on your channel's discussion page with some possible links. Best of luck!

Cool stuff! BTW, I was pretty startled when i saw in 4:11 sticker with description in Polish "PLOMBA! NIE ZRYWAĆ!" witch means Seal! Do not break! :)

When you do get it sorted, please do a video of it all working. Seems really interesting.

I have a similar flash cart but it's serial port. I find it better than the sd card one I have as it has no slowdown in games and they dont need patching. but its been flashed for ever with a castlevania rom since I dont have serial port any more

Aaa hi see! I did wonder about the patching, it's nice to know it will still work (without saving) in the event all the XP computers in the world get recycled! Also I wish I could reply but Apple decided for some reason it's not an important 'feature' to put into their iPad RU-vid app :)

Hello. I have the same GBA Smart Card "Burn dreams at will" but only 256 versions, could someone tell me what USB cable would be needed to connect this card to pc? Because my years ago was gone.

Good luck mate, going to be tricky to find software for it. I have one of the old Flash2Advance carts which is now totally useless as no PC I own has a serial port for transferring software to it. In the end I went with one of those EZ Flash IV carts, I remember asking you about that ages ago (but I had my inbox set to contacts only! doh!!).

I'm pretty sure my mate Gazz had one of these. it came with a cd with the drivers and software on which if I recall his pc's antivirus would go nuts everytime he used it.

I would love one of these, but I cannot find them anywhere... :/

I remember having something like this but the box that plugged into the PC used a serial port xD If I remember correctly I used some sort of FTP like software to flash games to it using Windows ME. (Also this is shockwave952's other account. I would comment with shockwave952 but I've been locked out of the comment section for not linking with G+, sigh...)

You could try to look up the VID / PID of the USB Device once its connected (even without drivers) ... it should look something like this : USB\VID_0403&PID_6001&REV_0600 Just try to google some of the numbers the device will show in the settings.

I still have the software by the way, and some of the older revisions, as they could cause problem with certain games sometimes

Where can i get one of these nowadays?

You won't believe this, but I actually have one of those in here somewhere. I'll look it out and see if the disc is in with it.

I cant remember its been a long time, though I do remember buying it new ,Probably from Otaku or Ebay.. Its called the "SD mini SuperCard" , & the software is still available for DL on the net, There are also other cards software available online if you know the name model etc? The SD Mini SuperCard works great btw..You could try software from other cards as they all need to convert to the same format , so you could be lucky?

I wouldn't call that an early flash card. Since it uses USB, it isn't. Early ones used parallel port. If the USB on that one works good, then it would be fairly late on. The USB attachment I have for the Bung card doesn't work very well.

Have you tried it in Linux? It's possible Linux might just recognize it as removable storage.

Nice! I've always been looking for a flashcart, but honestly none seem very good. The EZ looks OK, but is really a bit too expensive...

I picked up an old Atari 400 from an old lady. It doesn't power on and I have tested the PSU to ensure it's functioning how can I go about troubleshooting the circuit board? Many thanks.

great video, i still have my super card for the gba. but still want to find one for the GB that holds more than 2mb haha

Did you ever find the software for this?

Hey there Martin, I have a cart which seems to be the exact same as the one you got there -- only the sticker's different. The SW package that came with it weighs in at 6MB, let me know if you want me to upload it somewhere.

Can you put a link for the ex flash cartridge some where so I can find one

That is an ez flash 4 i have the same one, great little thing.

Can you make a tutorial for the homemade gbc cart?

I have it! you have the software? I can´t find..

awesome stuffs, i wana get a smart card for my gameboy soon :)

You might to find info about EZ-Flash II It uses exactly the same software compared to what you have there. I have a EZ-Flash II myself, my research (and action) showed me that the dated software DOES NOT work with Windows Vista and up. Use Windows XP or less, and the computer recognizes the hardware (and within the program). It is a pain to load on it, but once games are inside, they load and play exactly as if it is an original gamecart. I hope this helps you out, need more help I could try to find out more. PS..: protip, sometimes through Archive.org old sites can be accessed (including their links to software) in the catacombs of the internet =P

I have a GBA cart that takes a mini sd card, pretty easy to use & very handy..

Did you tried EZ flash 2 client software? I remember at the time they used to work with most flash cards. I have two of those till this day, unfortunaly they dont work anymore ;(

What's your favourite console

Do you have the EZ FLash software? I have one but I can't find it anywhere and I have one laying around. Thanks!

pm me i have the softwear bad thing is it only works on xp

Can you please explain how did you sort it out? I got the same exact problem. found the driver on the comments, but cant seem to install driver properly

Where did you get the ez flash IV from? i only found one on ebay for £85?? o.0

I like my EZFlashIV until I discovered the other week you have to patch the damn games using some weird Chinese program that doesn't exist for Mac! I completely forgot you had to do that!!

will it work on win 8 i have one just like yours

Where do you get an ez-flash cart?!

Have you ever had any experience with an R4i Card for the 3ds, I'm looking into buying one, any opinions?

Hidden games for the game boy advance? Did you ever make that video? :) You mention it at sort of the end of the video :)

What happened to retrogametech

Can you tell me how to fix a nintendo gameboy?

Does it works with multiplayer?

i want one of the gba flash carts really bad

Hi martin, I'm looking to get an ez flash cart but can't seem to find one, any advice?

I have a super card mini sd for my gba it works pretty well no real software needed really just pop in roms and play. Only supports up to 2gb though. But its kinda hard to find now I think cause the website I got it from sold out already. Should check it out. Its clear purple and has a cool storm trooper picture on it.

Run a search on GBATemp or pop the question on their forums.

were did you get the ez flash thing i have ben looking every were for some thing like that can i have yours pleaseeeees i will show you some cool things like get a gameboy player and play it on a gamecube

i think this is the site gbwriter.software.informer.com/ and how much did u pay for the ez flash?

"Burn dreams at will!", what this says to me, "destroying the dreams of the developers through piracy".

i have same problem as you.. share to me if you have the software or the download link..

RetroGameTech shoudend you put a link of the software/drivers in the description so someone with the same problem wont have to go to the same trouble to get it as your

try flash manager .. it should work

Oh wait, just realised you can post links in these comments now! "Hey man, It's a long shot but here is a few sites that may have what you're looking for: mynewdata.tripod.com/software.htm www.hkems.com/download%20-%20Transferer%201&2.htm I don't have one myself to test any of this but hopefully you find what you're looking for. Thanks for the great uploads, always enjoy your videos! Best of luck, Sean."

wait i found it this is the site to buy it from www.goodylands.com/G13a1.html it says you can download the driver from there site

filetrip.net/nds-downloads/flashcart-files/download-ewin-client-072-f3383.html here is the client for the smart card, it also contains the driver as well

Dude you could Theoretically dump a rom with that.

HI Martin, Try googleling EWIN Client v0.72a and see if that works with your Flashcart?

i have the gba smart card model 256mb... if u still dont have the driver+write program i'll be happy to share you the link as im still using the flashcart to this day and made few backups of the driver on my cloud storage... it uses ezfa3 driver but with an additional MegaBridge45.dll

I just bought this last night, u still need the software?

i baught a supercard sd a while ago, and i have the same problem

There's a very similar item currently on eBay here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EZ-FLASH-II-512Mb-For-GBA-GBA-SP-/161143074189?pt=UK_Chargers_Docks&hash=item2584e02d8d looks like a different version of the same item. But it's boxed, so it could well come with a software disc.

Nvm I'm dumb. I just realized you already did that

It looks similar to the Ez flash II flash card powerstar, Have you tried the Ez flash Client?

how do i get one of these???

These are used all the time in the chiptune community. I will find you the software and send you a message.

Look at the cyber dragon website

Here's a site focusing on flashcarts and other related material for the GB, GBC, and GBA. www.reinerziegler.de/GBA/gba.htm Didn't see your flashcart, but maybe searching using related carts will turn something up?

Looks the same as EZ_flash 1 I still own I have the software if you want to try it give me a note and i see if i can upload it for you later on

Its GBWRITER

This site references several smart cards and custom made stuff. I didn't see that specific card, but maybe you could find it looking for related cards? www.reinerziegler.de/GBA/gba.htm

OK, i'll get searching. I think it IS megabits, its a GBA so bits is most likely. Some good stuff on German site reinerziegler

www.hkems.com/download%20-%20Transferer%201&2.htm Did some looking around, and found some similar software that might just be compatible. I have no idea, but I guess you could try it out. Keep up the good work on the videos!

Check out GBAtemp.net. That's where I get all my firmware for my ds flash carts.

/watch?v=1Pwjey8ICXQ give this a shot, martin.

hello i want your driver of USB programmer pls. upload file to me.
