i was think about buying a gameboy advance sp so i can play
some of my old gameboy games and backups

the problem is the flash card is almost as much as the console

and then i was thinking ...... i have a digital camera with a compact flash cards

is it possible to use a compact flash card with some kind of a convertor in the gameboy advanced ?

The answer is maybe.

First of all what your asking is "how do I make a flash cart?" You have to keep in mind that you will need a battery for gamesaves and the means to connect your camera flash card to your GBA.

The more I think about it the better a newly bought legit GBA flashcart sounds. Yeah I know they are pricey but heck you can erase them and put another set of games on (depending on how big a cart you get).

well i don't get what is wrong with using an existing flash card

first of all u don't need a battery that's the point in flash memory

it saves it state without a current u need a current only to alter it

and u can rewrite it as much as u want , (u use it to store pictures and then some more pictures, after u uploaded it to the computer )

so basiclly it as the some functionality

my question was ,does any of you know some kind of pyshicaly convertor that can be used in order to connect the card in the console

and then i can save some money on multi purpose device
i will use it partily as a camera card and partily as a roms holder

Ok, I guess your hellbent on doing it.

No I dont know of any converter thatll connect your card to your GBA. If you think about it, if there were the prices of the real carts would be cheaper.

If your smart enough go ahead and make a converter, or maybe you can buy a real one minus the cart and work off that.

took me some time but i found what i was looking for
http://www.gamewallet.tk/

its a link to site where u can order a game wallet as it is called

and it lets u fit a smart media or a compact flash which is far more cheaper then the flash cart

and u can use its a gamecart

hopefully i am correct .

and i hope it will help everyone else who is intrested

10x for the help !
