    You need a proper gba flash card-if you can show a pic of what it looks like that could help.

    Except for the V in the name-you may just have the expansion card-it can play gba roms on it via gba but it will need to link with a ds flash card-and those can only hold one game at a time.

    You may have to look online for a dedicated gba flash card.

    the SP was the clamshell GBA with backlight and built in battery. I have one. The EZ-flash is a GBA expansion pack for NDS, it is not likely to work on a GBA.

    EZFlash does, or did, make a GBA card that used an external SD card to play games. I think it was the EZFlash IV. This worked like a flashcard for the GBA.

    There is also one called an ELink or Elinker, I think, that used a USB connection to your PC. It could hold a few games, but not as many as the one that used the SD cards could.

    Check out DealExtreme.com they may still sell them.

    You can use a DS and slot-1 flashcart to flash a GBA rom to the EZFlash 3in1's NOR, and then it should act as though it were a real GBA game. However, you'd need to get the GBA-sized cart; the regular EZF 3in1 is designed to fit the DS Lite.

    Here is what you need for the GBA but its only 512mb so its not going to hold a lot, and personally I think you would be better off getting a DS Lite and a flashcart and use the EZFlash 3 in 1 instead.

    I have an old one I use for my son's GBA called XROM and its slow as hell to load games through the linker and its also a 512mb and he was able to hold maybe 4 Pokemon games on it and thats it and I swear it took about 20mins wait time for the thing to "write/flash"
