I'd recommend using a flash2advance USB to get it. It's a little steep, but it'll pay for itself the day you start playing your GBA games on your PC monitor or TV screen using your most awesome saitek P880 gamepad.

If you don't have a flash2advance usb or a saitek p880, then you should probably get them right away.

Your computer isn't the emulator, the program you run on your computer is the emulator. The emulators are free, you just have to get the flash2advance USB and the saitek P880 so that after you extract the rom image from the cart you can play it in style.

Really, if you're going to go through the trouble of dumping it yourself, you may as well play with a bomb ass awesome gamepad, right?

Requesting ROMs for games for systems still in production is highly frowned upon.

It means that a moderator for this forum (I am a mod, but not in this section) will lock this thread because what you are requesting is a no-no.

The GBA is still sold in stores, you can still find Metroid Zero Mission in stores with a bit of effort, that's what I mean.

so this request is a nono because it is still in production in all the markets so that would make it where there might notor may be a rom but we cant request it

Exactly. If it's a game for a console still being made (and the GBA is not retired yet -- besides, the DS is backward-compatible with it), then no, you can't request a rom for it.

so is this a production of roms or u guys dont want people to request it because u dont have a rom and that would make u not want us to have it?

Mario...its simple

if a game store is selling the game you are not allowed to download it legally...this site is legal friendly

you do now roms are illegal right?

yes the rom probably does exist out there, there is a rom for every game, but you won't find it here buddy

hey look. this is a quick answer to your question.

roms = illegal
its especially not good to download roms for systems still in production, the rules are slightly more lenient on older games.
do not come to a website in which people respect the rules against illegal piracy of games, and then ask for roms for current generation systems.

informative huh?

I know that Joe wanted to add a note about that in the FAQ. He (and other admins and mods) will confirm, but here's what was agreed upon:

We love emulation but we also love the industry. Emulation discussion will be limited to "retired systems" only. In other words, no talk of emulating the following system: Neo-Geo, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, DS, PSP, PlayStation, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, or GameCube.

Look, if I were a mod in this forum, this thread would have been locked already.

The rom request policy described above for current-gen games is as clear as it can be.

DO NOT REQUEST ROMs FOR CURRENT-GEN GAMES. Understood?

what the hell does that say?? lol
roms are legal for archiving purposes IF you own a real tangible copy of the game (that means you have the game cartridge in your possesion that you purchased)

so a 13 year old kid who can't spell properly at any level is telling us about roms, when he was the one who asked for them?

Dude, its illegal to 'copy' something you dont own, to play it or not. Thats why you buy a game, to own the right to play it. You do not own it, so therefore going onto the internet to find it and then downloading it and playing it is copywrite infringement and is illegal.

Your not going to get any help here in regards to getting this.

where can i get a rom

Here ya go:
http://pages.prodigy.net/xis/ROM/ROM1.jpg

And as to where? Well, ROM: Space Knight is pretty easy to find on eBay, as the series ran for 6 years with a run of 72 issues. Here a website with more info on the comic and the character:
ROM: Space Knight (http://pages.prodigy.net/xis/rom1.htm)

However, if you want the action figure the comic is based on, it may be a bit pricey. Parker Brothers produced it in low numbers. Though the comic proved successful, the toiy itself wasn't.

Any other ROMs you're interested in, or have I been sarcastic enough for you to drop the subject and go away?

Look, if I were a mod in this forum, this thread would have been locked already.

And I am. And it is now.
