GBA flash card that supports GB/GBC?

[eebuckeye]

Any GBA flash card that supports Gameboy and Gameboy color roms in addition to GBA?

Thanks!

That's not possible with emulation, actually.

You'll need a standard GB/GBC flash cart to play those games. Not easy finding those anymore though. I bought one from the following site a while back.

Thank you - I just wish they had one with much more memory or SD support.

You'll need something called a GB Bridge:

With it, a GBA flash cartridge (I don't have a list of which are compatible) and special software (Flash Advance Writer, others) you can copy GBA and GB(C) ROMs onto the same flash cartridge. The GBA cart through the Bridge can then be played on all systems from the old DMG GBs through to the GBA. The only downside of using the GB Bridge is that monochrome (DMG) games are running on the GBA/GBC in Color mode, so tile and palette fading glitches happen on some games.

Slightly off-topic, but the lack of backward compatibility on the GB Micro is what got me into flashcarts to begin with. You can emulate original GB games (and maybe GBC too, but I can't vouch for the quality). But in any case, I assume emulation is not an option for the OP.

I think there is an emulator for playing Gameboy (monochrome) games, but its a pain in the rear to load games. I think its easier to emulate NES or Game Gear on GBA. The other problem is I don't think GB Bridge adapters are sold anymore.

Goomba works great for playing mono GB games and is pretty darn easy to set up:

There was also a Goomba Color emulator that took on color games and had an extremely high compatibility rate.
