Hi guys, i'm new here, so recently i just see a GBA flappy bird games. it is very intresting to see a homebrew game inside card.

i have already look around in many pages, contact the person *no reply, and read a lots of comments, but still did not found any answer.

just maybe anyone here find the secret.
so my question is:

how to erase any fake card/non EZ card and re write / burn / flash our games *that we make, to a fake card/original card.

is anyone wanted to sell the tools/ share the info, it will be very awesome!.
because i am currently wanted to develop the GBA games. but i need to know,
how to copy em to normal card.
i already bough EZ flash lingker2. try littlewritter (no hardware for that).

You have a http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_card/ez-flash-2-powerstar.htm flash cart already and have troubles getting it working? Congrats on finding one as they are quite rare these days. They are also quite fiddly compared to some of the newer carts, if it works though you might be able to sell it/trade it for an EZ4 and solve your problems that way, definitely if it is a 512 or larger one (the EZ2 is reasonably desirable these days to the right person).
The above covers a lot of it but http://www.ezflash.cn/downloads/ has a newer version. You will need a version of windows XP or do something like https://gbatemp.net/threads/using-virtualbox-to-manage-legacy-gba-flashcarts.275407/ to manage it.

If you saw something like http://reinerziegler.de/readplus.htm#Home made carts and wondered if there is something like it for the GBA then there is not. Some of the clone carts we have seen seem to piggyback upon an original game board but there are no designs for it. The same site just linked has a GBA section which covers a few things.

If you have a bunch of fake games because you like in a place where they are common then you might have some options, though buying a flash cart is probably the better one. We saw a variety of ways that clone carts are made so there may well be varying things you have to do. I covered some of them in later posts in http://gbatemp.net/threads/write-gba-roms-using-nintendo-ds.395826/

Short version. Sort the flash cart you already have out or buy a new flash cart like the EZ4. Clone carts and homebrew flash carts are not really there and will just waste your time.
