The EDGE is a very intuitive card without too many extra features, so it makes for a good first card. Since it sounds like you're working on a budget, I'd personally recommend either the EDGE (for its simplicity) or the Acekard 2 (for its features). The R4's makers are long since dead (not literally, presumably) and the vast majority of R4s on the market today are counterfeit. It's acceptable in the sense that it would work, but I would advise you in the strongest of terms to get something else. Would you guys say R4 is an acceptable slot card for this purpose, or would you recommend something else? Because I can't find any linkers online, I think I'm going to use the slot 1 flast cart. Ok Vague Rant, among the options that you have given me, the first one seems the least expensive and time consuming. Buy nothing, convince someone else to do the transferring work and send them your GBA save file, wait for them to send back your save with PokГ©mon transferred, and play PokГ©mon Platinum in an emulator using the new save. Use this save either with a ROM on your flash card or by transferring it back to your commercial PokГ©mon Platinum card.Д¤. Buy a SLOT-1 device only, convince someone else to do the transferring work and send them your save file(s), wait for them to send back your save(s) with PokГ©mon transferred. Buy flash devices for both slots of your DS and transfer your PokГ©mon using a patched NDS ROM on your SLOT-1 device with your GBA save written to your SLOT-2 cart.ДЈ. Buy a commercial copy of PokГ©mon Emerald, transfer your save file to the cart using either a linker or a SLOT-1 flash card.Дў.

Because of this, a commercial NDS PokГ©mon game can't read the save from a flash cart, because it's looking for a FLASH chip and your flash card only has an SRAM chip.ДЎ. Of these, PokГ©mon games use FLASH, while the vast majority of GBA flash carts use SRAM. Getting ever-so-slightly technical, there are three types of save chips used in commercial GBA titles: SRAM, FLASH, and EEPROM. A commercial game like PokГ©mon Platinum can't read the save file from any kind of GBA flash cart. With that you'd be able to use genuine games in both slots, and the transfer would go swimmingly.

There is also the option of purchasing a genuine PokГ©mon GBA cart and using either a flash card or a linker (a device which allows your PC to interface with GBA cartridges) to transfer your save file to that. Even if you get someone else to do this step for you, you need a way to use the save file they send you, which means either an emulator on PC, or a flash card.Д®DIT: Duh, I suck, Heran Bago makes an excellent point.

You need a patched ROM which knows where to look for it, and you can't patch the ROM on a retail card. Thus, a genuine PokГ©mon Platinum won't be able to find your save on a flash card. The reason you need a SLOT-1 card is that the way PokГ©mon GBA games are saved on flash cards is different to the way they're saved on the real thing. If you've already started playing Platinum, you could also back up your save with a flash card and send that to your buddy, that way you can resume right where you were with your GBA PokГ©mon. You can resume playing your GBA game with this save, and you could also play the NDS game on an emulator if you wanted, but most likely you'd rather play on your DS, and the only way to make use of the save file your buddy sent you is using a flash card (to either write the save to the original game, or just along with a ROM of the game). The GBA save will be less your PokГ©mon presumably (honestly I haven't played one of these things since Silver, so I don't know the exact process of trading between generations), while the NDS save will have them. They can transfer your PokГ©mon across, and then send you both (GBA and NDS) save files. They can write the (GBA) save file to their (SLOT-2) flash cart and run PokГ©mon Platinum (patched for SLOT-2 cart save reading assuming this patch exists, as it does for Diamond and Pearl) on their SLOT-1 card.

If you don't have both of those, you could instead send your (GBA) save file to someone who does. Well basically, the process involves a SLOT-1 card and a SLOT-2 cart.
