Gameboy Color Roms

The Gameboy Color (also referred to as GBC) is Nintendo's successor to the Gameboy and was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan and in November 1998 in the United States. It features a color screen, and is only slightly larger than the Gameboy Pocket. The processor is twice as fast as a Gameboy 's, and has twice as much memory. It also had an infrared communications port for wireless linking which did not appear in later versions of the Gameboy , such as the Gameboy Advance. 17960 gameboy color roms 1602 download color game boy roms 231 color game boy pokemon rom

The Gameboy Color was a response to pressure from game developers for a new system, as they felt that the Gameboy , even in its latest incarnation, the Gameboy Pocket, was insufficient. The resultant product was backward compatible, a first for a handheld console system, and leveraged the large library of games and great installed base of the predecessor system. This became a major feature of the Gameboy line, since it allowed each new launch to begin with a significantly larger library than any of its competitors.

The console was capable of showing up to 56 different colors simultaneously on screen from its palette of 32,768, and could add basic four-color shading to games that had been developed for the original Gameboy . It could also give the sprites and backgrounds separate colors, for a total of more than four colors. However, this resulted in graphic artifacts in certain games where a sprite that was supposed to meld into the background was now colored separate, giving it away.

Connect GBA Cartridge to PC
You have to have a way to connect gameboy cartridge to the PC. For that you can you Flash Advance Linker or FA Linker Xtreme. Regular linker connects to Printer port when Xtreme can be connected to both printer port or USB.

Save game data on PC as *.GBA file
When you have FA Linker connected you can use Flash Advance Writer, Little Writer or Flash Xtreme writer software to save the game from the cartridge on to your PC Hard Drive. It will be saved as .GBA file. Most roms are 4MB or 8MB
(1 Mega Byte on PC = 8 Mega Bits on Cartridge)

Play backuped games on PC or GB
When you have backuped the game on the PC you can Play it with one of the Gameboy Emulators or you can send it a ReWritable Flash Advance card and play it on another Gameboy. Because Flash Advance Cards are bigger than regular GBA Cartridges you can make compilation of say 8 of your favorite games and write them to one 256M FA Card.

In short - this is how most of the gameboy advance roms that you can download from the internet are made. As you can see - the main purpose of roms (and FA Linker) is not to play then on PC's using Emulators, but to use them as backups of your original games. Of course if you have made a backup of your game you can play it PC if you like..
