GBA/GBC compatibility?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #14857 of 15019 |


Hi,
I have a question about the use of GBC cartridges inside a GBA unit. I
know that manyof them work without any problem and I wonder if that is
a general case?

GBA is 3.3V and does not have any 5V outputs as far as I can tell. And
most if not all the GBC cartridges are 5V only, is there a trick?

The reasone for this is that I want to test my GBC cartridge
(http://www.abdolian.com/gameboy) inside my GBA.

Any help is highly appreciated,

Best regards,
/Farhad
