Yes. You can.
Get the latest version of the firmware hack for the GBA MP here:
http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/NDSMP/index.html

Download the zip, and the .gba file on your GBAMP and run the gba file. This will make your GBAMP able to run homebrew.

You'll need a passme or wifime. you could get a passme2 which can execute the NDS file or wifime which is that you need a ralink rt2560 chipset pci or pcmcia card. More info about wifime on www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime.php and the passme2 you can find out about on www.dspassme.com

PassMe 2 doesn't work with GBAMP.

Eh, I'd recommend getting a NoPass such as the Datel Max Media Launcher. (Not the 4 GB HD, just google "Datel Max Media Launcher")

you do need a PassMe. PassMe1 works if your ds has old firmware. If you have new firmware, grab a NoPass. Be careful with the Max Media version though, cuz I heard it breaks Slot-1

yea herd that 2 but u can fix by taking a knife and get sum plastic out so its the same as a normal card

Wifime can also be done with your USB dongle if it has the correct chipset.
See my website for details.

thank you very much forreplying
very usefulll informaiton

just 1 thing i went to that site scorpei but cannot download the usb drivers

#96636 - Scorpei - Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:43 am

Read the page :).
If you have the correct dongle (check it first please), you can follow my howto and get WMB to work from there.

*My guide uses Knoppix (if using the USB version), Linux, so you won't find any windows drivers on my website.
To attain windows support I use VMplayer (try viewing the videos for an idea on the guide).

i downloaded knoppix and burned it to cd then restarted my computer and changed the bios to boot from cd yet nothing happens and it load windows how can i load knoppix

#96765 - Scorpei - Sat Aug 05, 2006 12:39 pm

Strange, maybe your CD is corrupt (or your downloaded iso is)?
You can test the iso by checking the md5 code.
Can your computer boot other CD's (windows install disc for example)?

#96777 - dshacker - Sat Aug 05, 2006 1:50 pm

yea, my did the same thing, member, even if it is the same code. One thing you could try is downloading it off the mirrors of the site. No, not your's scorpi, I think yours is messed up.

#96779 - Scorpei - Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:06 pm

I don't host the iso, I just link to a list of mirrors.
