getting data from rom to card

dooseyboy · 10-08-2008, 11:27 AM

hi im new here and sort of new to emulation and roms etc.
anyway recently i got the pokemon diamond on gameboy ds, seeming as i am a complete stat whore i have to have all the pokemon EVER!
BUT i dont want to spend 000's of dollars on games SO i thought i could get a pokemon rom download it onto a gameboy colour cartridge and play it off that.
i have a cartridge with stuff on it but i dont know how to access the files.
(btw its a game boy advanced cartridge its one of those 108 games inn 1 cartridge and it isnt even 108 different games its like 18 ancient arcade games (frogger pacman etc) repeated over and over.) so yeah. i need to know what i need to access the files on the cartridge (i have opened it up and had a look for somthing to put in my computer but. nothing) and what rom will work on the nds
EDIT: btw the game to be put on the cartridge is like pokemon fire red or something like that a gameboy advanced game.

Wait a minute here...so you have some kind of a pirate cart with the game on it, but can't get to the game? How do you know it's there? What sort of cart is it? Unless it has an SD card or something (which, if it's a 108 in 1 cart it probably does not) you won't be able to get any of the individual things from the cart onto your computer.

Also, I'm a little confused in general by your post. What do you mean 'what ROM will work on the nds' in regards to what you posted in the rest of the post? :P Anyway, post more details and clear this up, and I'll try to help you.

ok.
so i did look inside the cartridge and there is no sd card.
please discard the whole nds working thing.
what i want to do is get a gameboy advanced rom (i.e pokemon red) onto a cartridge (the 108 in 1 which is a pirated type thing, AKA not nintendo approved.
so yeah
if you need any more info post

Well, chances are this 108 in 1 cart you have isn't rewritable, meaning what you have is what you get. You'd have to get a flashcart of some sort.

You could try eBay, or DealExtreme or someplace like that.

also just a side note. the DS cant play gameboy games in the slot 2 (GBA Slot). you need to get a slot 1 card if you want to emulate gameboy on the DS.
