Is it possible to run an EZ Flash IV kernel through a GBA emulator ? If so, which one and how ?

Searched a bit but couldn't find anything, only emulators to run on the cart.


Thank you !

batgba can launch the ezflash IV kernel (in case you want to take screenshots of your custom skin), but you will not be able to load any games, obviously.

Flashcarts are their own hardware, and as such emulating them would require... emulating them. Specifically. The kernel is a normal GBA ROM in many ways, though. For those of us with Game Boy Players, Game Boy Interface can also take screenshots, and since it's original hardware, no compatibility issues exist.

True, but a GBP is not cheap nowadays, if you manage to find one... Sadly.

I have an Analogue Pocket, so I can take some screenshots if you'd like. My cart is an EZ-Flash IV MiniSD version, with the white plastic shell.

    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
