So I play Pokemon yellow and crystal on emulators and I've pretty much beaten crystal and have started yellow. I was wondering if, one day if I wanted to, I could transfer the crystal rom file into a GBA crystal cartridge. I've done research and I've heard of homebrew and flash carts but I have no idea what they are even talking about. If someone could walk me through how to do it and what to buy and step by step instructions on how to do it properly that'd be great. I've seen all these flash carts and stuff and I don't wanna buy the wrong thing and not be able to transfer the rom to a cartridge. For right now all I know is that I have a Pokemon crystal rom file and I want to know if and how I can transfer that file which is saved on my computer to a cartridge so that I can play it on a real GBA. Also i heard there's a way to do it on DS too so if you could explain that to me that'd be great. Imagine me as someone who doesn't even know what a computer is and please explain simple and detailed.

If you already have a GBC Crystal Cartridge then probably you can transfer your savefile (with your team) on your cartridge; I am not sure, but I will make an attempt as soon as I find my cart (I was having the same idea). About flashcarts: a flashcart is a GBA cartridge that works via a Mini/MicroSD; essentially you store ROMS on the MicroSD, plug it into the flashcart and play on your GBA. As far as I know, the only flashcart that is still produced is the EZ-Flash IV (google it), but Pokemon Crystal roms and GBC roms do not work on this flashcart (I know since I recently tried to play Crystal, and the result was horrible).

If you have a DS, you can transfer saves and ROMS between carts and PC, but I do not know if this works with a GBC game such as Crystal.

As soon as I find it, I'll let you know.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
