    I think the GBA USB cable is just for charging only, so it has power, but no data. There's nothing for the PC to recognize, but it should still charge the SP just the same.

    I clicked the link and do not understand what leads you to believe that it should be possible to transfer new games via USB.

    The two ports on the back are for the GBA link cable and the power/audio cable.

    Its because i know that others models of gba clone have a link cable with usb, and mine dont came with the cable, so i just need the pinout. :/

    I've never heard of a clone with the ability to upload roms. Can you link to one of those?

    Even if that's true, aren't those "other models" that do not necessarily reflect the capabilities of the one you purchased?

    Well, that GBA clone IS listed in the emulation section of the site, but if it doesn't have a special usb cable, I doubt it'll let you upload roms. That looks like a gba to me.
