    Hello Everyone,

    I tried downloading Beyblade G-Revolution for GBA and then dragged it to my "GBA" folder in my SD card. Then When I choose GBA in my start up menu it makes this wierd buzzing sound like this " BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Also it really loud, please if someone can post a step-by-step guide on how to play GBA on M3.

    Additional Details:

    - Im using M3 Real
    - Never experienced problems like this before
    - I have tried selecting slot1 and slot2

    Please Respond ASAP!

    You bought the M3 Real with the rumble pack. To play GBA games you need the RAM expansion pack.

    You're doing the steps right, you just have the wrong slot2 device.

    Gosh, If only the RAM expansion pack had a setup file on it I would have put it on my M3 Real and used it XD

    No, you couldn't.

    AFAIK, there is currently no way to play GBA games on a DS without a slot-2 card. There is a hardware dependency on slot-2.

    Buy the expansion card.

    You mean a slot2 card, but you're right. GBA games cannot be run from a slot1 (DS game slot) device. The hardware simply will not support it.

    And that makes no sense. The ram expansion and the rumble cart are entirely different devices. You cant just swap setup files, there are no such things. The hardware between the cartridges is different.

    Thanks for the catch penguin98. My post has been edited, but your quote preserves my error for posterity. <G>
