Pass-Through Cartridge to Play GB and GBC Games on the DS

Post by Ecksem Diem »

Does anyone know if anybody produces such a device? If so, do you know what percentage of the games work with it? Thank you very much.

Buy an EZ Flash 4 and a microSD Card :wink: Theres no way to do it, Nintendo didn't include the GB/C ARM Processor in the DS like they did with the GBA. You can only play GBC Games on the DS via Flash Cards/Carts (Both Slot-1 and Slot-2 have GBC Emulators that work 99%)

So, does this involve downloading ROMs to the flash memory or plugging the legitimate GB(A) cartridges into the aforementioned peripherals?

Download *Backups* of the games you own. It's the only way to play Gameboy games on the DS.

Ugh... How do you play GB games on an iPod? That must suck...

I don't want to make an "I'm leaving" thread, but I've sort of lost interest in this board. So if you notice that I'm gone, that's why.

My PSP has erm..C64, NES, SNES, N64 (buggy as hell, and the controls are wacky), GB(O)(C)(A), PSX, Genesis.

Been wanting to get a microSD flash cartridge for the DS, though.
