How do I play?

[paliden99]

OK I just download VBA and I went out and bought a couple of games for my GBA. How do I play them on my PC?

[Yeloazndevil]

well dl the roms of the games u have bought, which I can't give u because its against the rules here, so don't ask here try a search on google or something or dump the games onto your using a copier, but its easier just to dl them

you need to use some flashalinkers (or something like that) to copy the game to your hdd then you use some tools to convert it to .gba an then you play it in your VBA :)

Thats right campi you got it right there but I don't think you need anytools to convert it fance transfering data such as word docs on your gba cartridge?

If you want to do that and just play your games by hooking them up on your computer, you will need some hardware, a Flash Advance Linker Xtreme is the only one i seen that really does something special. You can order it, i am not sure if you can buy it at a store, but i am pretty sure you can. Just put the gameboy advance cartridge in the Flash Advance Linker, then put this baby into one of your USB Ports, and voila...

Heres a little more professional guide/information to add to what i just said, this is taken from GBXemu.com

Manufacturers hype:
The Flash Advance USB Linker is a next generation device to use with the Flash Advance Cards which adds a high performance USB port and other additional features to Visoly's Flash Advance family of products. Just like it's "printer port only" version, the Flash Advance USB Linker utilizes reliable and proven technology to deliver smooth working and a high-quality gaming experience without having to worry about compatibility issues.
Sending ROM files to your empty cartridge (Flash Advance Card): Simply use the provided software to open the ROM file from your PC, it will then send the data through the USB or printer port to the Flash Advance USB Linker, which will store the data in the Cartridge - just as when you connect your MP3 Player to your PC to 'fill' it with songs. Totally easy!

Hopefully this helps...

First, you stick the GBA cartridge in the floppy drive then you do a diskcopy from the floppy icon in Windows. :D

If you have a GBA in the first place then why do you want to play them on a PC?

Rom sites. If you have a n64 rom, but u own the cartridge of the rom you downloaded, its legal. :confused:

[Kane]

Yes but the Rom site itself is illegal. So therefore downloading it is illegal....

[Kaotic Soul]

Kane, you're right, now you can make your own roms, {via Flash Advance},for a backup copy only. It is illegal to distribute them(or sell them).You can make backup copies of your games all day long, only if they are for you.

[Bgnome]

you could always borrow someone else's flash advance linker..
then you can dump your roms without having to buy anything else.
