Does anyone know if its possible to use a gba cart that you've purchased i.e. spyro the dragon: season of ice, delete the files on the cart and then use a gba linker to flash whatever game/s I want onto the cart? If this IS possible wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy an original game that doesn't have much replay value and flash the cart vs. buying a blank cart for like $150? If anyone has any information on this please let me know...thanx

also how much space is on an original cart?

yeah, an original game is a couple of permanently "burned" ROM chips with maybe a couple bytes of flash memory for game saves.

The Flash Advance cart is Flash memory which is more like static RAM. You can program and erase it almost an infinite # of times.

paradoxia will you be dropping the price of your GBAs anytime soon, i think the ones you have are mint, but its pritty expensive for differnt colours.
