you buy a pack of e-reader cards and use them like a credit card for your GBA then save one game on the e-reader

It just reads the dots as 1's and the spaces as 0's to compile the code that's necessary to run the games.

I wish there was a program out there that let you make your own eReader cards... that would make homebrew game testing easier*.

*except for the whole P.I.T.A. eReader reading.

You need an ultra-high res scanner and a laser printer. (inkjet ink spreads into the paper because the paper absorbs the liquid ink.)
