Description:
GBxCart is a device for GB, GBC and GBA carts that allows you to backup your game ROMs, backup/restore save games, and write ROMs to supported Flash carts (e.g InsideGadget flash carts or some of the clone/repro carts).
The GBxCart Pro comes as PCB board without USB Cable, it has no protective case, it will fit into a GBA cartridge shell which can be purchased separately (trimming is required for the USB connector port when using a GBA game cart shell).
GBxCart is designed and made in Australia with full support and continued updates over time.
ZedLabz is an authorised reseller of GBxCart from Inside Gadgets, all products are genuine and fully supported by InsideGadgets & also ZedLabz for product warranty support.
For the latest InsideGadgets flash cart support, please use the Flasher v1.51 For free software downloads needed for this device visit: https://www.gbxcart.com/
This version 1.4 Pro is slightly faster than previous versions, has improved powered state control using a button or software control (no need to unplug USB when changing carts), and 2 more status LEDs – Completed & Error.
The “Pro” version allows you to use a GBA reproduction cart shell to encase GBxCart into (not included), a bit of trimming/filing is required for the USB connector. There is no difference in functionality between the regular and Pro. Only the “Pro” version can support the GBA reproduction shell.
GBxCart has a simple user interface software available for Windows and a Console Interface for Mac/Linux.
Installation is very simple, just install the CH340G driver, the .NET framework (for Windows) and you’re ready to go.
Works with Windows XP or higher and Linux/Mac/RPi (console version). Does not work on a Chromebook. On Linux/Mac/RPi the speeds can be much slower when using the official programs but seems to be fine when using FlashGBX.
If you are backing up any old cartridges, please ensure that the contacts are clean and when reading the cartridge information ensure that the GUI or Console Interface programs report the header checksum is OK.
If you can, please use a test cartridge when receiving the unit to ensure the operation is correct. Always check your save file is working correctly in an emulator like BGB before proceeding with restoring another file or another cartridge.
Comes assembled, no soldering required. Each unit is assembled in house and is tested with a Gameboy and Gameboy Advance game.
You’ll just need a USB-C data cable, the USB-C connector only has the USB 2.0 lines attached, to protect the PCB you can either 3D print an enclosure, or use a GBA game cartridge shell, reproduction shells are available to purchase separately.
Additional information:
Supports backup of GB Camera (active images or all images) to BMP with a one click program called GB Camera Saver
Option in the GUI to allow for automatic appending of the current day/time to your save file when you perform a backup of your save
GB Sachen ROM mapper reading support
Support for MBC6, MBC7, MMM01, M161, TAMA5, DACS and GBA Video (some require a new board revision) using FlashGBX, thanks to Lesserkuma

Please note: If your game saves to an EEPROM or Flash then it won’t work on any of these clone flash carts unless you patch it to use SRAM using GBATA for example. If the cart you have doesn’t have a spot for a battery, then you will need to patch that game to save back to the flash but there are no programs to do this for you. Pokemon games use a 1Mbit save and most clone carts only have 256Kbit or 512Kbit of SRAM so saving may not work properly.

Minor gripes, but everything works
works great, everything you need to back up and rewrite your gb/c/a carteidges, saves, even rtc clock.
Shame they don't come packaged in a cartridge shell and you need to buy a separate one.
not sure if it's because of the cable I'm using or MacOS, but my unit does not update - but it functions as I need it to withought updates, so I never looked into this further.

Buying the GBxCart RW 1.4 from ZedLabz was easily one of the best decisions I've made for my retro collection, and their service was top-notch from start to finish. Ordering was quick and straightforward, dispatch was rapid, and the board arrived securely packaged in immaculate condition. Setup was practically plug-and-play—plugged via USB-C, the companion software immediately recognised my original Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, and Game Boy Advance cartridges without any fussy driver setup. Backing up decades-old save files—like my original Pokémon saves—and archiving ROMs takes literally seconds, giving me complete peace of mind that my physical library is safe. The PCB build quality is fantastic, fitting neatly into a standard GBA shell for protection, and its ability to flash custom carts makes it worth every penny. If you're looking to grab a cart reader, buying from a brilliant vendor like ZedLabz makes getting this definitive, bulletproof tool an absolute no-brainer.

I do not recommend buying this product from Zedlabz
I was so excited to try this product! But guess what? It never came. If the expected delivery time was several month that would be one thing but it was supposed to be here in a few weeks. After a month and a half of waiting I finally email tech support and they tell me the package is lost? No one from Zedlabz or the delivery company has any clue where it is! I give it 2 more weeks just in case and no one still has any clue where it is. What a joke. I was finally fed up so requested a refund. If you're going to buy this product I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you purchase it from anywhere other than Zedlabz. Tech support was nice and responded to me quickly and are providing me with a refund but that was the only decent part about this entire experience.

A great tool
Got one in order to save save files out of my very old Red & Blue Pokemon cartridges and worked perfectly.
Going to use it to put Pokemon hacks into 3rd party cartridges as I'm one of those who love physical products

Great item
Sturdy pcb, straight forward software, very big range of compatibility with blank flashcarts. Also very nice that the pcb fits in an aftermarket gba cartridge shell, you just have to cut a small hole for the usb-c port.

Overall great
Arrived in perfect condition in great antistatic and save packaging within 7 business days in germany (cheapest deliver option).
I bought this to backup my GB/GBC savegames (to keep them from dying with the battery) and it works pretty good.
Some games the games was not readable at the first try but run well on original hardware but after a couple of tries (and more cleaning) i got all games done.
The software (not included but free) if pretty userfrindly and updating the divice firmware was easy and well explained.
I can't say anything about flashing cartridges but it does what I wanted to to and it was worth the price (49,50€ at the time of purchase).

Five out of five possible stars
A tremendous little device which works like a charm. Arrived promptly in a very smart looking cardboard box which I put in the recycling bin☺. Got stuck for a minute when it looked like it wasn't recognizing the cartridges connecting to it, but that was solved by clicking the refresh button! Very pleased with this one. Going to celebrate by eating a Caeser salad.

Superb GBA/GB cart reader/writer
Excellent for backing up ROMs and saves and restoring saves. Fits neatly into an empty GBA cartridge case with a small amount of filing to make a hole for the USB-C connection. Intuitive software that auto checks ROM hashes and provides helpful text log for ROM download. Very pleased, excellent value.

Excellent cart flasher
This works great for flashing carts with FlashGBX (as well as dumping ROMs). I've been successful with every flash cart I've tried -- Ferrantte Crafts 512KB cart, Funnyplaying MidnightTrace V2, and Ali Express repro carts.

Yeah — but ...
This device is quite cool — i've only flashed one Game to a chinese Game Cart, But I've had some trouble getting it to work on the Mac. Had to do it in a Windows machine. That worked But needed a few tries to recognize either the flasher or the cartridge.
til:dr: it is a bit fiddly — but it works.
