Many people know the Game Boy Advance as a Pokemon machine, but little do people know the humble GBA can do much more than just catch pocket-sized monsters. To fully unlock the capabilities of the GBA however, I’ll need some assistance in the form of a flash cart. Using a flash cart comes with some moral and ethical problems but just as long as you are only using it to play games you already own, there isn’t any problem.
I opted for the Everdrive x5 Mini from Krikzz. They’re a great company that makes flash carts for all your favourite consoles from yesteryear, from the original Game Boy to the Sega Mega Drive. They are on the more pricey side of the flash cart scene but in return you know you’re getting one of the better flash carts out there especially when compared to some of the terrible “99 games in one” carts which you’ll be lucky if they survive shipping. Whatever you choose there, there’s a host of cool things you can do with a Flash Cart.
