    So here's my question.

    This is actually for ym GBASP, but since the DS has the same capabilities and such, it shouldn't be too out of place here.

    So I already bought a flash drive. A Flash2Advance Ultra, 128 size. I was disappointed to find out that though it does play many GBA games, it is not compatible with playing GB or GBC games without emulators that aren't fully functional yet.

    Now, I am going to purchase a larger flash drive, a 2G sized one, perhaps this one....

    Now, I also looked at this thing, called a gameBoy Bridge. Apparently, you can plug a flash cart into this and be able to load GB and GBC games onto your flash cart and play them on your GBA (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

    Info on that here: http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_card/gb_bridge.htm

    However, according to a review....

    "(Bridge is supported by Flash2Advance (old NON Ultra version) and Flash Advance / FA Pro / FA Turbo / Flash Advance Xtreme cards)"

    However, I can not seem to find a reliable place to purchase these compaitble flash carts.
    I also do not need a big size, if I were to just have a cart for GBC games and such, but if there is a large 2G size cart available that is supported by this GB Bridge, does anyone know what it is?

    My goal is to just have a Flash Cart that can play GBA games sometimes, and GBC games other times. Right now, my flash cart is too small to play all GBA games, so I need a bigger one. I just don't want to buy a bigger one that won't be at all aompatible with GBC games. Any suggestions??

    why not go for a G6? I'm pretty sure those are compatible with GBA games

    The G6 is also very good for DS games, should you ever want to get a DS.
    I've heard from Venom in other posts that the Extreme Flash Advance (EFA) is good for GBA games.

    The EFA works flawlessly with GBA games, but I've never tried using it for GB or GBC games. I'll try it when I get home and let you know what happens.

    Sorry, can't try it out. I just remembered I let my mom have my GBA since she kept begging me for it so she could send it to Philippines.
