Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

At the moment the best emulated system on the GBA! Emulators like PocketNES and Famicom Advance can turn your NES roms into gba roms. On Gameboy they work near perfect and even better - you can save at any place you like - link for 2 player game or transfer games from one GBA to another. Other emulators include FamicomAdvance, InfoNES Advance and PogoNES plug-in for PogoShell that lets you write NES roms to Flash Card and play without any modification! Download here >>>

Although the Japanese Famicom and the international NES roms emulator included essentially the same hardware, there were certain key differences between the two systems: Different case design. The Famicom featured a top-loading cartridge slot, a 15-pin expansion port located on the unit's front panel for accessories (as the controllers were hard-wired to the back of the console), and a red and white color scheme. The NES featured a front-loading cartridge slot (often jokingly compared to a toaster), and a more subdued gray, black and red color scheme. An expansion port was found on the bottom of the unit (as cartridge-based add-ons were impossible with the layout of the cartridge slot), and the cartridge connector pinout was changed. 60-pin vs. 72-pin cartridges. The original Famicom and the re-released AV Famicom both utilized a 60-pin cartridge design, which resulted in slightly smaller cartridges than the NES (and the NES 2), which utilized a 72-pin design. Four pins were used for the 10NES lockout chip. Ten pins were added that connected a cartridge directly to the expansion port on the bottom of the unit. Finally, two pins that allowed cartridges to provide their own sound expansion chips were removed, a regrettable decision. Many early games (such as StackUp) released in North America were simply Famicom cartridges attached to an adapter (such as the T89 Cartridge Converter) to allow them to fit inside the NES hardware. Nintendo did this to reduce costs and inventory by using the same cartridge boards in America and Japan. 36651 nintendo roms 2255 free nintendo roms 1937 nintendo emulator and rom 1238 nintendo rom nes 868 nintendo rom download 548 nintendo game roms

First to give you an idea about how roms are made - read about making gba roms!

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..
