  • Playin' GBA games using the R4

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Anyone know how to do this? I have an EZ Flash but it's too small itself. I think there's a way you can put it on the R4 and if you plug in the EZ cart it'll play it but I can't figure out how.

I wanna play Mother 3 on my DS dammit :-)

From what I've read, you can't. You need a R4-type unit that plugs into the GBA slot.

A GBA Flash ROM. The most popular one. I happen to have a really old model that only holds 128mbits and Mother 3 is 32MB

I've seen some posts on how it can be done with the new EZ 3-in-1 but I didn't understand them

I just use the emulator and the game plays fine.

Yea, I too have been confused about running GBA games on my R4. I kind of want to get the EZ-FLash thing... but Mother 3 would be the only game I'd really want from GBA.

BTW anyone else playing the new Castlevania?

I just started playing the new castlevania yesterday. I think it's harder than I remember the last two being.

I like to play my GBA games on the go if I can. Particularly an RPG, it's more comfy for me not to play in front of the PC
