Best program to flas GBA cartridges?

[PandaRiver]

I have a flashable GBA cartridge but the software it came with is for a chinese computer only. (like it won't even install) So I was wondering what is the best program to flash ROM files onto the cartridge?

"Chinese Computer" isn't an operating system, what the Heck are you talking about.

Well not saying chinese computer is an operating system but when I attempt to install, it comes up with an error window with a bunch of random chinese words?

That means you're trying to install a chinese program.

The chinese programmed those things for only chinese computers for a reason, you know.

I highly doubt its not working because you don't have a "chinese computer". More than likely its giving you an error (as programs usually do) because you need to actually do/install something else for it to work. Figure it out.

What is the name of the cartridge?

Oh no, a parallel port - many modern computers don't fully implement the parallel port, only connecting a few lines needed for printers. Furthermore, needless to say, a USB to parallel adapter most likely will not work.

Interesting, though, for $12. I may purchase one and see if it works with my USB writer/dumper.

It's cheaper here: http://www.ndscardsale.com/product/Fire ... BA-and-NDS

Iirc, they are run by DX, so I don't know if you'll get their infamous shipping times through there.

So, I bought the cart. Got it working on my desktop.

Has to have 32-bit windows, and the paralell port set to the correct mode (EPP if I recall correctly).

Use SPLink.

Ok, not to begin a new topic...i have a question

I have NDS&GBA flash cart with LPT cable, and i have recently recieved Flash2Advance flash cart, but without cable...is there any possibility to use cable that came with NDS&GBA with F2A? I've tried most of the software provided for both, without success. Do you have any ideas on how to make them work together?

 

[Bibin]

Does your cable work with the other card (The NDS&GBA one is just a clone of the FireLinker by the way)?

A lot of modern computers' parallel ports, even when they are present, don't actually have all the data lines one should expect from one. That may be your case (and why my laptop won't work but the old desktop does)

It works great for me. Hope that helps.

Edit: Just finished reading the thread and see now I was beaten to it. Still, let me just second Bibin's suggestion by saying the program works great. Never had any trouble with it. Mind you I have had some trouble with the serial port, but that is a different matter entirely.
