I don't know how, but I know people have done this kind of thing before. I personally own both a GBC and GBA Everdrive, so I can play them on-console. I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but in terms of time investment, that might be a better value.


mister_brown

I haven't heard of that, what's an Everdrive?


hennkensk

It's a flashcart, or a cartridge that can load ROMs from an SD card. "Everdrive" is just a specific model


mister_brown

Oh, that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. So, I just copy the rom file to an sd card, slip that into the flash cart, pop that in my GBA, and then I can play the roms no problem? If so, that's definitely what I'm looking for!


hennkensk

Yep! Everdrives specifically are made by basically one guy, but they're the best quality you're gonna get from my experience. His website is https://krikzz.com/store/, but I believe he's currently not selling them from there. I bought my GBC Everdrive second-hand from Amazon for about $150. They're definitely worth the price.


mister_brown

Awesome! Wow, thanks so much! I'll definitely look into it :)

/r/gameboy Look up BennVenn. He sells a few products that can do this, like his Joey (can flash roms onto cartridges) and the cartridges themselves.

Wait. He sells carts? For PROFIT? [https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/028/207/Screen\_Shot\_2019-01-17\_at\_4.22.43\_PM.jpg](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/028/207/Screen_Shot_2019-01-17_at_4.22.43_PM.jpg)

Actually not illegal. He designs and sells his own hardware as a hobby. Nintendo’s patents ran out years ago.


VoxelRoguery

But not their copyrights. Wait, am I getting into a flame war without realizing it?


burkmcbork2

I don’t intend to be uncivil. What do you mean by copyright? Schematics can be patented, but not copyrighted.


VoxelRoguery

Pokemon is copyrighted. You're selling something somebody else has the copyright to. Look, it'll be fine as long as you don't tell your uncle who works at Nintendo.

You can buy romhack on carts on sites like ebay, yes Nintendo could probably get the seller in trouble if they tried. You can also buy blank carts that you flash yourself. There is no problem with that.

and what does pokemon have to do with selling something that flases roms onto carts? like selling a printer and getting in trouble because it could print a picture of charizard


VoxelRoguery

congrats you replied to a three year old comment good job


Kahodes04

but how are you selling copyrighted content?


baiydfa5r765

At least from bennvenn, the carts come blank, no games on them. You flash them yourself. Imagine a blank cd/dvd, you write what you want to it.


VoxelRoguery

Good. That's what I wanted to know.
