    I have several questions:

    1) well i want to play some mega man games from GBA on my NDS(uses R4 revolution card) how do i do it?

    2) I'm not sure what the shunyweb is supposed to do because i keep using it but when i click convert it just won't work all it does is load/ and also do i use the extracted file or the winrar file?

    3) Is there a possibility for some of the awesomest people on this web to make a tutorial with pictures and download links or explanations on how to fix the could not access data or so issues?

    P.S. i know it's a troublesome request but you all must know how it feels to play a 3 or more part game and then you were only able to play the first game. :-[

    I sincerely thank all the people on this website who give time to help out people who are desperately stuck Thank you!

    1.You will need a slot 2 expansion device to get it working on r4-it sends the data to the expansion card and runs the games in gba mode which has recieved the data from the ds card.

    You will need gba exploader though with r4 as well-it's a homebrew that links them-the card to get is "ezy 3 in one expansion" and adds rumble to certain ds games.

    2.That still requires the expansion card-I think that's pointless to be honest.

    3.Not that I know but it's easy as-get the expansion card-run gba exploader and select your game and it will run it thru the card in proper gba mode...

    But that applies to ds/dslite owner only-dsi's can't run expansion cards as they lack a slot 2 place.



    Post back if you have anything else.

    Shunyweb is an online save file converter.

    An expansion card expands a DS' capabilities. This can include adding rumble, RAM for the DS web browser, or allowing one to play GBA roms.

    Slot-2 is the GBA slot of a DS.

    GBA ExpLoader is a homebrew application that allows one to use the EZFlash 3in1 expansion card with any slot-1 flashcart.

    so you mean like i can create a folder inside my R4 saying GBA games or something like that? OR do i need to add something at the bottom of my DS the place where a real DS not emulator can play GBA games?

    The GBA slot on the bottom of your DS is referred to as "Slot 2". You need a device that goes into Slot 2, that is the EZFlash 3 in 1 that everyone is talking about. It looks just like a GBA card, but it is just a memory expansion pack that allows your R4 to load games to it, which can access the GBA hardware on the DS/DS Lite.

    true but I prefer to shop locally.

    I have shops near by-or ebay :D

    The phillopines-or some other asian countries-are havens for cheap prices-but also piracy.

    I never buy games or devices from my mother's home country :(
