#59894 - ghost Leinad - Sat Nov 05, 2005 2:39 am

i have obtained a flash linker...(well, not now, for the next week, but is for sure)

HOW, how can i upload my OWN (oh! that feels good!) games on the GBA...

in other words...i have my game...i have been testing my games on emulators...visualboy seems perfect, no$gba runs the game a little bit slower (maybe a 10%)...but now, i want my game in hardware, how do i achieve this???

I want to use "rtfm" sometime, but it is too rude for me.

yes, because rtfm is implied as true for all cases. sometimes there are better things than the manual and sometimes they just want to be pointed out to the manual itself or one that people find best since there are always 'bad' manuals out there

You just write the .gba file to your cart. For some carts, you may need to "fix" the header before it'll work correctly; if your flash cart's writing software doesn't do this automatically, use 'gbafix' that comes with devkitARM.
