GBxCart RW – Flash Cart Support
Feb 9th, 2018 by Alex
Check out FlashCartDB.com where you can help populate flash carts to the Wiki! That’s where new supported flash carts will be listed.
If you have any problems writing to carts, please check this list:
– Make sure you are on the latest firmware and using the latest GBxCart software
– Try a different USB port (non-USB 3.0) or USB cable
– Make sure your PC hasn’t gone to sleep or woken up from sleep (give it a quick reboot)
– Try another computer

M29W640 – 4MByte
Requires 3.3V to erase/program. Originally purchased as a “Shantae”. If you install a CR2032 coin cell battery, the battery will only last about 1 year as the cart consumes about 19uA for it’s data retention. You also need to change the solder bridge from “N” to “Y”.

256M29 / M29W256 / MX29GL256 – 32 MByte (4x 8MB Banks)
Requires 3.3V to erase/program. You need change the solder bridge from the top left to the one a little bit lower (as shown). Battery current consumption is 4uA, so a CR2032 will last about 5-6 years. Originally purchased as a “22 in 1” Pokemon cart (yellow cartridge). It appears this cart may only support the MBC5/3 mapper as some MBC1 games have a corrupted title screen like Game & Watch Gallery and the original Zelda Link’s Awakening freezes when saving.
If using a Multi-game creator, you need to power cycle GBxCart RW when writing to a different 8MB Bank. Also make sure you place all rom files and menu file in the same folder.
Notes on the Multi-game creator by the user -DC-Tschisomat:
1. The Roms are not allowed to have more than 16 characters.
2. Only letters and numbers are displayed correctly in the menu.
3. Saving is possible for a maximum of 16 games
4. Only a maximum of 108 games may be written to the flash card, otherwise you will get a graphic error in the menu.
5. Every time you press Generate Compilation the Menu.gb file will be changed. So if you want to create a new MultiCard file you have to replace a fresh Menu.gb from downloaded Zip with the old one. Otherwise graphic error in the menu.

256L30B – 32MByte
Use 256L30B (2) if the first option doesn’t write to your cart. It seems there is a little issue which prohibits writing to certain variants of this cart. Originally purchased as a “150 Games, NES Classic” transparent red cart.
