Most of GBA Flash Advance Card Linker software has
been written for Windows including Win 98/Me/200/XP. If you want
to use all of the features made possible by GBA flash it is strongly
suggested that you use PC with Windows. Now we understand that
there are people who don't have / don't like MS so we have compiled
the software that will let you use Flash Advance Linkers for write
GBA ROMS to Flash Carts while using LINUX.
Please mail
me any ideas/tools/senders/etc. that you have for Linux ,
to make this collection bigger/better.

Linux tool for sending gba roms (up to 2Mb in size) over

Flash Advance &
FA Extreme
By Jeff Frohwein
Download: flgba.zip
Mirror: flgba172.zip |
Great software that is if you can still find the Flash Advance
or FA Xtreme linkers (They are no longer produced an do not
have manufacturer support) |
Note that while there is software for connecting
GBA to a Linux PC using Flash Advance / Xtreme link
this type of GBA Linker is no longer produced and has
no manufacturer support so if you need gba roms backup
tool for Linux you should look at the Flash2Advance
/ F2A USB (Original version - NOT ULTRA)

Editors and misc tools for Linux <-> GBA

| GmBaAp tile/map editor By kxu
gbafromscratch |
GTK+ 2 gba tile/map editor, appears to be written in python
french and English
Most importantly it is GPL |

| Tile Max
By Sean
Reid Tile Max Site |
It's Java and the author of it tested in linux!
More tools really should be written in Java
(linux, Mac OSes, any other other decent os and windows all have java interpreters)
Some of it's pluggins seem to be windows reliant (run external .exe's) |

| Gameboy Advance Map Editor By Stween
gbamapedit
|
GTK+ 2 gba tile/map editor, written in c
Most importantly it is GPL |
