    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!

    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.

    • @nicopinzel
      @nicopinzel 2 года назад

      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 RUclips’s comment restrictions regarding sharing of illegal activities.
      But the important keyword for your Google search is „ROM“

    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.
