Hi,

I have the XG2Turbo Flash linker for the GBA.
(That's the one with the cartridges that use replaceable batteries).

However, I tried the USB cable on 5 different PCs and are
REALLY having trouble getting it to work.

When connecting to the USB port, it only shows up in the Device Manager in 2 out of 8 tries.

Then, connecting with the UltraLink Software is pure luck.
It only works every 30th time, approximately.

And even IF I get a connection, it usually breaks up after a few minutes...

I need about 1-3 hours to put a GBA game on the card, which is really annoying.

On the XGFlash boards, I read that some more have a problem with it... but nobody really tells how to fix it.

Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
 
Is that the one where you leave the flash cart in the gba an connect to the pc with a usb cable?

the instructions with xgf2 are bobbins run me through the way you are doing it and I'll see if there is anything missing.

For example took me ages to find out that you have to press start and select when you turn the gba on to put it in the right mode then connect it to the pc. And then launch the xgf2 utillity to make it see the flash card. I nearly sent mine back before finding this information on some obscure site as it wasn't mentioned in the instructions which i think had been babelfished from korean.

I've had one of these for about a year and have had no issues with it since finding how to make it happen.

good luck
