i had a friend who told me if i put visual boy advance on my r4 and all this folder stuff, gba games would work the thing is, visual boy advance doesnt work on my r4 and it has YS menu
putting visual boy advance on your R4 won't work, you need an Iplayer flashcart, or an EZ linker i think it was
No. If you use a DS Lite, you're in luck though. As you can buy yourself a Slot-2 cart named EZ Flash v 3 in 1. That allows you to play pretty much all GBA games at normal speed.
Tell your friend they're full of stupid, Visualboy Advance is a PC program. It's like telling you to put Microsoft Word on your R4. http://shoptemp.com/products/EZ-3-in-1-Extension-Kit-for-Nintendo-DS-Lite-p-40.html One of those would allow you to play GBA games on a DS lite but not a DSi. I think it is possible to migrate pokemon using one of those, but it's pretty complicated and I can't remember where to get the patch from.
