Hardware > FlashAdvance Pro Linker II Question

#185 - SilverSurfer - Sat Jan 04, 2003 10:06 pm

Hi!

I purchased a FlashAdvance ProLinker II together with a FlashAdvance Pro cartridge but I am not able to programm the flash cart. Also it is not possible to read out modules. The software delivered (f2aw13.exe) is able to communicate with the GBA but after the message "init GBA.." appears nothing more happens.

I am using the european version of the GBA. Is it possible that FA only works with japanese GBA?

kind regards,
Steve

I don't think the gba is region-locked or anything. Try changing the parallel port mode in your bios frontend, if you can, or try another computer.

no the gba has no regional blocking check on it.

Like marschild said, check your bios settings, things like this usually require EPP

Also if you're using WinNT or 2000 you may need to install GIVEIO.SYS
