You can then access it from the title menu with the new third option, "Access Saved Data". This prevents the data from getting deleted when rebooting the device. If you're done with all parts (could be one part in many cases), the BIOS will prompt you to save the data to the e-Reader's SRAM. Scan 2/.") In that case, simply press A to scan another e-Card and get another part. If the application (NES game, minigame, promotional app) is stored in multiple e-Cards, the game will let you know ("You need more Dot Code(s) to start. Select all the e-card files you'll need to load the game and click OK. Now the BIOS is waiting for you to scan a card.

MGBA has full hardware emulation for e-Reader and link functionality, making it the best emulator for e-Reader support. though it's a very less-than-ideal solution and there are only pre-baked e-Reader save files for Super Mario Advance 4 (U), Pokémon Emerald (J), LeafGreen (J) and FireRed (J). Using this save with the e-Reader BIOS, it's possible to connect to the GBA game pack, and scan e-Cards. Without this step done, scanning e-Cards will just yield an error message.Į-Reader/GBA game pack emulation in these emulators can be still reached by ripping a save game from real e-Reader hardware, with this step already done. Normally, after choosing "Connection/to Game Boy Advance", the e-Reader should have "(Game Name) Game Data" pre-loaded in its internal EEPROM memory and appearing in a tiny black box on-screen, but this can't happen in either No$GBA, VBA-M, or VBA e-Reader mods.

Either download the set or hunt down the device and obscenely rare cards to archive them. The "No-Intro Game Boy Advance (e-Cards)" romset is only missing 12 US cards (Pokémon TGC) and a few dozen JP ones (mainly F-Zero Legend, Rockman EXE 5/6, Pokémon Pinball). The e-Card images: Yes, these have actual data in them. Notable examples include Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2, and Pokémon Colosseum.

Notable use includes NES Classics (often mapper 0 ones), Promotional event cards with nifty animations, and the Pokémon Trading Cards for example. The e-Reader add-on is plugged into a GBA unit, and e-Cards are scanned with it. Standalone: The only mode supported by the initial Japan-only release (the second Japanese release, "e-Reader+", and the US release supported the other two uses).That second version was released under the name e-Reader in the USA and Australia.

The e-Reader was originally released in Japan in 2001 without Link cable support (thus unable to link to other GBA/GC games), but that was added in a second version released in 2002 as e-Reader+ in Japan. It has a LED scanner that reads paper cards with data printed on them, called "e-Reader cards" or "e-Cards".

It was also slated for release in Europe, but the release of the device was canceled, though the (now extremely rare, and undumped) European cards had an accidental limited release. The GBA e-Reader is an add-on for the Game Boy Advance released in Japan, the USA, and Australia.
