EZ Flash IV Flash Cart - DS Style Cover

[derrek_clay]

I'm not exactly sure how many people on the forum are familiar with this particular flash cart or own one... but this is probably the most popular/sought after GBA Flash cart that there is. I've owned one for a while and recently decided that I needed to get a case for it, which of course, meant creating a cover for that case. So I did.

This is based off of the actual box that the cart comes in.

Two different versions: One with a grey IV, one with an orange IV. Enjoy!

Nice! Downloading these!

There was a guy on another forum making these for me. This was before I knew how to use Photoshop. I still have the covers to this day, but after seeing yours I think I'm going to switch out.

Awwww I didn't know there was a Micro SD version... dammit haha. I would have bought that one instead.

Yeah, they just released it earlier this year.

Are you able to play original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games through this?  I understand the cart would have to be used on a Game Boy Advance or SP, but would the backwards compatibility still work?

Yes, and no. You have to use a software called Goomba Color to "compile" all the GB/GBC games into one, or a few separate GBA ROMs. It's actually very easy and pretty straightforward. You can find plenty of guides on Youtube, etc.

I found Goomba works pretty well with GB ROMs, but Goomba Color doesn't handle GBC all that well. Most of the GBC games I tried didn't work.
I know it's emulation, so I wasn't expecting much, but the games I tried (Pokemon Red full color hack and Shantae come to mind) were unplayable.

That's odd. I've never had any issues with it whatsoever. I have at least 20 GBC games on my EZ Flash which were complied with Goomba Color and they all work perfectly fine.
