GBABF 1.2

This is a tool for reflashing GBA bootlegs on the DS.

I recommend placing your GBA roms in a directory called "GBA" on the root of your SD-card, as it will be opened by default.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
While I've successfully tested this with about a dozen bootlegs, there's no guarantee that this will work with yours. There's also a chance that this will manage to erase the data, but not flash new data leaving your bootleg in an unplayable state.

If you do run into errors, try cleaning the pins and make sure the cart is inserted properly.

Hey this is great but it did not detect my flash2advance 256M.
Can you add support for it plz?
its type is ;
Flash2Advance Ultra 256M (with 8× 3204C3B100)
Bless you. This is wonderful!!! LFG!!!! Worked great
This was able to erase a partially flashed repro cart that kept erroring out when trying to flash a new ROM to it. After this app erased the cart, I was able to reflash it again. Definitely a permanent addition to my R4 card.
Tool worked to reflash a fake pokemon fire red cartridge that was previously bricked by another cart flasher, so this tool may be able to revive your dead repros.

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
