First question, is it possible to play GBC games burned onto a GBA flash card? Assuming you're using a GBA or GBA-SP to play the flash card on.

Second question, according to Nintendo information releases, the Gameboy Micro will be compatible with GBA games, but not any GB or GBC games. My thinking is that this is due to the small size of the system, so the case design might only accomodate GBA cartridges. Do you think it would be possible to play GBC games burned onto a GBA flash card on this system, or would they have completely left out any support for GBC games (would seem logical since you can't use the standard cartridges)?

I'm not really knowledgeable about how all the ROM formats and the flash cards work, so if anyone could try to answer my questions, i'd be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

There's only GB emulators for GBA
It is currently not possible to play GBC games (unless they're both GBA and GBC, there are a few)

You're best bet it to try and get a GBC flash card, which it took me 5 years to find personally, or just settle with GBA and GB games on a flash cart.

As for yout second question, it might enduce flubba, the guy who wrote the GB emulator for GBA, to add a GBc function, but I doubt it.
