Thanks for all your hard work by the way. It's appreciated.
I really wanted to ask you about something, if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction please: I wanted to modify Goomba so I could take a single Game Boy ROM, one border and one palette, and create a GBA ROM that always uses the border and palette and does not have any runtime emulator options (the L and R buttons wouldn't do anything).
Being able to also do the same thing with Goomba Color (without palettes) would be ideal. Did Goomba Color ever support borders?
I'm building a collection of games for my EZFlash cart and have enough space on the SD card to make each Game Boy and Game Boy Color game its own standalone GBA ROM, with its own border and palette, and think that would be really nice.
It may even be possible to create a screenshot with an emulator and share the files online. A simple webapp could allow users to upload a Game Boy or Game Boy Color ROM and download the GBA ROM. The webapp wouldn't need to host the ROM itself.
]]>An EZFlash IV (or EZFlash Reform) cart with the latest firmware works much better than back in the day.
The client software that was once used to patch the games is obsolete. They are now automatically patched when you first run them.
You still need to patch 8bit games from other systems to convert them to GBA ROMs (but it is easily done on any operating system). It lets you play most Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES and Master System games (I think the Sega Game Gear and an old Coleco system are also supported).
The EZFlash Reform has an easily replaceable battery and fits inside the GBA slot on a DS or DS Lite properly. It can also be used in a GBA console, but can get stuck inside them. The build quality of the Reform cart is very poor (while the PCB is very good). The EZFlash IV is the previous version (with a battery that can only be changed with a soldering iron). It has similar spec to the Reform, and much better build quality, but sticks out of a DS console.

GBI isn't emulation, the Game Boy Player is basically a consolized GBA much like the super game boy, the GBI is just an alternative to the boot-up disc that's used otherwise. It's functionally the same as playing on a real GBA, 100% native.
]]>I find it is still a great card compared to the old day's where you had to flash a large amount of nor memory taking 10 minutes and would only fit about 5 games, before you had to reflash it.
]]>I'm not even shilling, I just love this thing so much after suffering for years with EZ-Flash. I still have an EZ-Flash IV and I absolutely hate it. It's such a poorly designed flashcart with so many limitations. Not to mention the cheap shit save battery that's been dead for ages since I can't solder. I kind of just resorted to collecting real GBA carts for a while, which works out in the end because now I have a huge library that I can legally back up to the EDGBA. :P
