Flash Equipment > Can I Flash to Commercial Carts?

#17100 - tekt5 - Mon Mar 01, 2004 2:57 am

hey,

My brother just got a Flash2Advance Card Writer and a 128MBit Cart. I was just wondering, would I be able to flash stuff to a commercial Cart and erase what was already on there? (ex: flash something over an official Advance Wars Cart) Is this possible? would I need some sort of patch? Or would I have to bu another card online to make it work?

Thanx in Advance...
help me with this please!!!

No. No. Doesn't matter, it's not possible. Yes.

Is it possible to buffer-overflow a commercial game's savegame handling and get it to execute code copied from a savegame? Yeah, not practical, but as a proof of concept?
