I downloaded FlashGBX from GitHub to use it. It's super intuitive and recognizes various types of cartridges very well.
Genuine gbflash!! worked beautifully. great compact package. transferred data really quickly. first use took about 8 minutes for a 32mb rom but the second write was less than 30 seconds!
I was able to use it without any problems!
It successfully recognized and extracted the software for GB, GBC, and GBA. Since there was no manual, I had to search for software downloads myself, which took a bit of effort, but it worked well and the loading was fast.
