Flashcarts are custom made game cartridges that allow users to put ROM dumps of games in them. This can be useful to play especially rare games on the original hardware, without having to pay for expensive collectible cartridges.
Game Boy Advance
EZ-Flash
The last GBA Flashcart still in production. Uses a microSD. Since the original wiki is disused and falling apart, we have imported it's data into here.
EZ Flash V
Designed for the Nintendo DS Lite, the best way to play GBA and DS games around.
ES Flash IV
SNES
Flashcarts on SNES can be a tough and expensive proposition depending on the game you want to play, since some SNES games use special accelerator chips such as the SA-1 and the SuperFX, which can only be simulated through FPGAs.
- SD2SNES $200 - Contains an FPGA allowing you to simulate some accelerator chips with high accuracy. Of course, this makes it cost $200, but that may cost less than most of those rare cartridges.
Custom Made
If you're cheap and handy with electrical engineering, you can create your own flashcart by hacking shovelware games that have the accelerator chips you need.
