GameWallet GBA
The Game Wallet is a new accessory for your Game Boy Advance. It
allows you to backup your games and play on your GBA console using
smart media (SM) cards or flash
cards. (both are needed for GW to work) As an extra added feature
there is also a light built into the game walle which requires no
external power source. By using SM cards the cost of storage is
much cheaper. A 32MB (Bytes) Smart Media card is actually equivalent
to a 256M (Bits) Flash Adavance card.
SM 16 MB = FA 128 M
SM 32 MB = FA 256 M
SM 64 MB = FA 512 M
GameWallet is a game bank for Gameboy Advance which helps
you to recharge your Flash cartridge at anytime and anywhere. With
it you can add games to your flash advance card when you are on
the road - no need to connect Flash Linker or Flash2Advance cable
to PC. Now you can update games on the FA Card with GameWallet substituting
PC HDD!
(Game Wallet is as an add on for Flash Advance Cards and does not
substitute them)
