Description
Flash Advance Linker
The Flash Advance Linker is the first professional mass produced
development and backup device for the Gameboy™ Advance.
Just like a Cradle for your Palm or other Handheld Computer, the
GBA Flash Advance Linker is plugged in to the printer port of your
PC. Once connected, it can simply send and receive game ROM data
from or to the plugged in game or Flash Cartridge.
Reading out game ROM data (dumping):
Once your original GBA game has been plugged in to the Flash Advance
Linker, you can use the provided software to read out the rom data
and save it to your local PC harddrive as a so-called ROM file.
The Flash Advance Linker also lets you read out the savegame to
store it in an extra file - you won't use any game data, e.g. when
the battery in your original GBA game gets empty.
Sending ROM files to your empty cartridge (Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M):
Simply use the provided software to open the ROM file from your
harddrive, it will then send the data through the printer port to
the Flash Advance Linker, which will store the data in the Cartridge
- just as when you connect your MP3 Player to your PC to 'fill'
it with songs. Totally easy!
Flash Advance Card
The Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M is the first professional mass
produced flash Card for the Gameboy™ Advance.
Just like a Memory Stick from Sony, or like a Smart Card or Smart
Media Card you are using for your MP3 Player, it will simply hold
the game data in it's Flash Memory. Once you have sent games, demos
or programs to it's memory using the Flash Advance Linker, it can
simply be plugged into the Gameboy Advance and it will act like
an original game!
The Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M will also allow you to store savegame
data. This means once you've opened a lot of levels or you got some
extra points in your game, you won't need to start from the scratch
- it will save the game status just like an original cartridge with
the game. Savegame data can be stored on your local PC Harddrive
too, so you won't loose any data when you are using the flash card
for other games.
Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M can be re-written, feel free to use
it how often you want, as said, just like any other Flash Card on
the market (Smart Media, Memory Stick etc.).
The Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M is furthermore the perfect choice
for any professional Gameboy Advance developers or even home developers
- Create your own games using your PC (free software is available)
and simply use the Flash Advance 64M/128M/256M to show your game/demo
to friends or test it on real Hardware. If you believe it or not,
even large software companies are developing their games using exactly
this Hardware and this methods.
