DS Misc > DS GBA slot to GBC colour converter

#75443 - Yata^Duck - Mon Mar 13, 2006 12:01 am

I seem to recall seeing a converter that allowed you to play GBC games in the GBA slot, does anyone know where i can get one of these or if they work?

The DS can't play GBC games.

That was a hoax, I believe.

I highly doubt this is a hoax considering all the tools, huge compatability lists, etc. hanging around the web...i'd try it ..but..i'm too lazy at the moment.

If it involves soldering anything to the antenna, then it's a hoax. Build yourself a GBC dumper and use Goomba Color.

Ah..I remember that ...saw that a while ago...oh..reading though the comments..apparently that guy used goomba (the GB emulator for the GBA that some of you are calling a hoax) to make his "mod" appear real.

Goomba is not a hoax, the ability to play GBC without any emulator is the hoax

Lol what Goomba does is to "Convert" the GB/C Rom into a GBA Rom so its playable without any GB BRIDGE (on Flashcards) and it DOES work on DS

#75573 - knight0fdragon - Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:36 am

somehow its going in the wrong direction, no1 is declaring goomba a hoax or a fraud, just the methods used to play GBC on DS WITHOUT GOOMBA OR ANY HOMEBREW CODE. the DS works fine with emulators, the DS will not play GBC as the GBA did, because the hardware isnt there and i believe theres a difference in volts going into the card

It's not really 'converting' it so much as making the GB/GBC ROM think it's being played on a GameBoy Color by emulating the functions of the GBC.
