    Its depended on what flash cart you have. But in general you will still need an emulator if you have flash cart for GBA. Or if you mean you have a GB/GBC flash cart then you can use it and play as normal GB/GBC games. ANd do not forget you need GBA not a SP/Micro/NDS/L.

    The emulator approach is necessary since GBA flashcarts are not backwards compatible with GBC since the consoles are completely different architecturally. It's possible for such a thing to exist but it doesn't and probably never will. The other two options are:

    -GBA flashcart + bridge adapter (which adds GBC bankswitching and GBC->GBA address translation)
    -GBC flashcart used on a GBA

    yeap, the way memory is read differently and the voltage is different. +10G to Calpis, he can now purchase the hotel by the sea.
