Make Game Boy, GBC & GBA Retros AT HOME! - RIGGS

[@retrostagepcb4908]

Hey Riggs! The Invalid file size thing is so that the programmer doesn't hiccup during the write, as it's expecting a write size evenly divisible by 1024. This will be given an auto adjustment later in software, but for now if you use a hex editor and pad the file to the nearest number that's evenly divisible by 1024 it'll work. For example, a trimmed ROM file of 4000 Kbytes won't work, but 4096 Kbytes will. Just FYI!

[@AtoManPL]

Doesn't GBATA app have that option?

[@RayRaySD941]

Helpful, thanks!

[@Bumble_Bill]

Really bummed out all of your blaster cartridges are out of stock

[@TheBacklogOdyssey]

I was looking for a good flash solution for the Game Boy for a project I'm currently working on, and these look fantastic! Thanks for sharing, and it's exciting to see that after running into this video a year later, that the carts are now available for purchase!

[@TXFDA]

Not being able to put a rom hack on this, kinda takes the whole point out of me wanting one, honestly.

[@user-lg5xu6id5j]

That's a shame I was looking to play fan games on physical hardware

[@faceforradio9343]

Where can you find blank carts (not just cases)? Also, will this write over standard old carts of GB, NES, N64, etc?

[@lan645]

Any idea on price range for the carts and can we add labels on them for permanent repros?

[@theannoyedmrfloyd3998]

There's a way to pad out the file to be a multiple of 1024. I don't recall how it's done but there's probably a video on it.

[@_Unown_]

Is this product compatible with Pokemon games for the Gameboy Color like Pokemon Crystal ?

[@youretheslow4237]

I REALLY hope that they create boards that have the real time clock chips and batteries for the GBA Pokemon games. Not that I'll make reproductions, but I have boards that have the solder pads and traces broken off and these will be good to at least save them.

[@WAFFAHOUSE]

They do make them. Google “inside gadgets”

[@rodrigozbarros]

Can you flash a gbc game (ex pkmn crystal) on a gba cartridge?

[@PkmariO64]

This is actually really cool. Now I kinda wanna take the English rom of God Medicine, an RPG that was never released in North America mind you, and put it on a cartridge.

[@yukiola5]

Will this work with gba video? There is a website where you can convert video files to gba video format and I'm wondering if there's a way to get the videos on physical carts just for fun.

[@baasjanmultimedia5513]

Nintendo did bring out videos like Shrek and Spongebob on cartridges to watch on the Gameboy. Like 2 episodes on a cartridge. Search it up!

[@sppspharmdude]

F4mi has video on this topic using a ds lite I believe

[@JelloFluoride]

I want this to make my own Gameboy games

[@Bez2112]

Surprised you didn't try mother 3 with the translation patch.

[@vk4521]

I have made a PCB at home and stick a chip name atj can you tell me how to configure the chip and install emulator in it

[@baddragonite]

what about the Joey Joebag for writing games? heard it was good and cheap

[@redjoker8640]

Can you make a gba repro using a gbc cart? I like the asthetic of the game cart sticking out of the console.

[@rockfreak1243]

I would love to be able to do this and just play the games that I want. I see on your computer that you have the game files on there. Where could I go to get the game files to download onto the cartridge so that I can play whatever game?? Thanks in advance

[@nicopinzel]

The only legal way is to buy the game, dump the Rom onto your pc and then install it onto the cartridge Then there are ILLEGAL variants (also likely the most used ones^^) but for these you’ve gotta Google on your own cause of KZbin’s comment restrictions regarding sharing of illegal activities. But the important keyword for your Google search is „ROM“

[@jonathancreedmusic]

Is it possible to put a gameboy color game onto the smaller game boy advanced cartridge?

[@kingp260]

Can you blast over existing games rather than having to buy blank carts? Example, if I have a trash game I don't want, can I blast a game I do want over it and delete the old one or is that not possible?

[@alexwalker1759]

Not if it is a Nintendo cartridge. I believe they have some way to stop modification of the cart.

[@badtimebandits]

For games that hold save files can you just override the old cart or should we remove the battery? I have a language patch that I have for Red and an English copy of red that own and want to make sure I̓m not going to fry the cart somehow

[@bobbysteurer]

[@carlosstrings1450]

This is an useful video, thanks riggs 😸

[@eskimojoe6564]

So awesome you review the coolest stuff.Sadly these will probably be sold out and I won't be able to get one.

[@JohnRiggs]

They should be available soon. Since most just use emulators or everdrives or bootleg the same stuff from AliExpress they may not be as popular. I think they're pretty neat, though.

[@100Bucks]

When is the Nintendo switch version coming out,lol! Every one would buy this!

[@amberschellekens646]

Hi! Do you by chance also know how to do this with DS games?

[@outofservice4842]

The cartridges do not freeze 2 seconds when saving like the clones that are sold in pages like ebay?

[@FEBRIZIOtv]

Hi, I have a mother 3 cartridge, and I patch my fire red rom I did some light hacks to.... it still wont get past the gameboy splash screen. Can you help? I am gifiting a custom game to my fiance in 2 days and I really wanna get it on a cartridge

[@Andreatuzze]

if I dump my original pokemon game to the new cartidge, the save file will result original so that i can transfer my pokemon in pokemon bank or not? Because I want to preserve my original game, especially the sticker

[@BEED0GG]

This will be good when the new analogue gameboy comes out! Even a sd card cartridge.

[@joshuaamaya5458]

Could you try Pokémon wild I want to see if I can make it portable/handheld

[@BashoStrikes]

Or one can do as a friend of mine did and load the entire GB library onto an EZ-Flash - including the roms that won't work for this. Of course he owns the original games and would never just download the roms freely.

[@Mynar123]

of course he wouldnt

[@bodybody5609]

Finally, can't wait for gg dumper

[@sublime_tv]

Super noob here. Can you flash multiple games on this or would I need something like an Everdrive/micro SD card setup?

[@matthewwilliams5258]

You can already do this with a GBxCart and flash cart /Chinese bootleg from inside gadgets

[@marcodelisio50199]

gb, gbc and gba blasters are actually out of stock on the site, do you know when they might be available again?

[@cameronchristensen984]

So is the GB motherboard the same as the GBC motherboard? Because i dont see any GBC motherboards on the store

[@immortallen3159]

I ordered a Flash Boy recently. Can I use that dumper on Gameboy Blaster cartridges?

[@MrJ0mmy]

use goombafront pc app and make a gba rom full of gb/gbc games you can put as many rom on it as you like provided you have enough space on the cart

[@jahronegolby8322]

hey dude i had a few games that i really wanted on the actual gameboy instead of an emulator would u or do u know if anyone who would let me pay them to make them into repros please please any advice helps a lot

[@piffytho8638]

will the retro blaster progam worth with different programmers/dumpers?

[@rodsmoke9192]

Do the cartridges come empty or they come with the motherboard inside?

[@junkaccount2535]

Now does this actually replace the roms on real cartridges or is this only for custom dev carts? Like can I buy a fake pokemon cart on ebay and replace the rom on it?

[@carlosmartinezjr.7579]

As repro as possible , NICE 👍🏻

[@VIRACYTV]

Seems like an N64 to GB adapter would be more logical for that blaster.

[@stl-xx5rq]

Couldn't you just fill up a ROM file with multiple zero bytes until it reaches a size divisible by 1024?

[@lordrenzo]

Is this also possible with DS Cartridges?

[@Nightrider-ck5hx]

Is it possible to apply the new and recent New Super Mario Land on one of those carts and run on GBA?

[@crimesforkibble6912]

Once you put a game on the cart does it stay permanently

[@skyrunner14]

Is there any chance we could see something like this for Game Gear or Genesis games?

[@jermi808]

Can I get authentic Pokémon games and transfer saves to other Pokémon games

[@barbaramonteza]

Will this work with Analogue Pocket?

[@Sheriffhyperofficial]

Cool could be for my metroid zero mission romhack's physical copy

could you write a game boy advance game on to a snes board?

yes but ive heard people have save problems

Is this on Amazon?

[@Chriva]

Where's the boot vector? if it's not at the top you can just use an app like HxD and pad the file with 0xFF's.

[@MisterWillX]

For anyone looking at this now, there are utilities for fixing rom length to make hacks flashable. Also, there are flash kits, like the Flash Boy, that can write to cheaper flash carts. All this is a consideration if you're developing your own games for physical production.

[@zealotoner310]

I have been editing Pokemon emerald for a while now ,tried to write my rom with my retro blaster it says it was successful but when I turn on screen stays blank no game after ,is this because of my game length or am I doing it wrong somehow please help

[@matthewwilliams5258]

Also gb studio is a simple to use gameboy game making program

[@KatamariHypno]

You mispelled repros in the title

[@matthewwilliams5258]

You can just pad the rom at the end with 0's

[@lightspeedmurphy7546]

Does this mean I can finally make a reproduction of Shantae with a red transparent gbc cart shell?

[@JohnRiggs]

I wouldn't see why not. Even you can find a transparent red cart.

[@conrad5342]

If you want to write your own game and give it to someone, ok. But in all the other cases, why not use an everdrive?

[@ongakuwotabeta]

Con rad I don’t have this yet, but I do have an ever drive. Due to how the everdrive being an FPGA device that uses an SD card, it will not work with the transfer pak. I’m hoping this flashcart works with Pokémon stadium.

[@jakegenocide]

It's $30+ per game, but I might do it. 😅

I don't know if you know this, but a bootleg game is still an illegal game. You can't sell it, otherwise it's a crime because it's fake. People are selling these online making a mess, this'll be the new scam. 💯

[@machobrizzin2337]

It’s not a crime, as Nintendo isn’t profiting off of the Game Boy or its games anymore (they’ve all become something called “Abandonware”). If you sell it, just make it clear that it’s a reproduction.

[@RobertRoseberry-jp6om]

@@machobrizzin2337 what's your source of information? Mine is the copyright label on the games, doesn't matter if they're profiting or not. It's still their intellectual property, there's already been a court case over this and nintendo won.

@@machobrizzin2337 you also have to have permission from nintendo and the respective partners to sell a reproduction.
