do gba games work for ds r4 cards

would it work if i downloaded a gba game onto a ds r4 ???

 

Only if you also own a slot 2 card with "ys menu".

Not as is.

 

You shouldn't need Ysmenu.

You do need the slot 2 card, like an EZFlash 3 in 1 and a homebrew loader like GBAExploader.

 

Opps-i meant that XD

The gba exploader...I heard ys menu from somewhere.

 

What does that mean? You have to buy another card to put the GBA games on it and that card is inserted in that other slot (sorry, I don't know what's it's called). How much would it be, approx US dollars.

 

If your using an original ds or dslite it goes into the gba slot.

The data is bridged to the gba slot and runs like that-the ezy 3 in one can hold one game-so it can technically be used on a regular gameboy advance-but with the ds linking the slot 1 and 2 it can swap games around.


There are some older flash carts that just hold gba games-but there are dedicated slot 2 carts made for gba's-they work on ds but...why bother XD

Cost can vary.


Mine cost...

I think $45 AUD.

Convert that.

I think there are cheaper options though.

About 18.40 USD. Plugs into the GBA slot on the NDS.

 

GBA Exploader tutorial is on this board.

The first requires moonshell, if you want it or have it.

The second one is an easier tutorial.
