The EverDrive GBA Pro has landed and vanished just as quickly. Krikkz’s latest flash cartridge for the Game Boy Advance launched on December 23 and sold out within hours, proving once again that demand for high-end retro hardware isn’t slowing down.
EverDrive GBA Pro upgrades the experience in key ways

Compared to older models like the EverDrive GBA Mini, the Pro version adds several long-awaited features: save states, a real-time clock, tilt and gyro sensors, and a fully customizable in-game menu. That’s a serious leap for GBA users looking for more flexibility with their ROM libraries.
You can now pause gameplay, jump back to earlier moments, and make real progress in notoriously tough titles. With support for up to 98 save slots, even the most unforgiving games become a bit more manageable.
This flash cart goes far beyond GBA games
Even though it’s made for the GBA, the EverDrive GBA Pro also supports original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and even NES titles. That makes it a one-stop solution for most handheld collectors. Add cheat code support and lightning-fast load times, and you’ve got a serious piece of kit.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new in the Pro:
- Save state support (up to 98 slots)
- Adjustable real-time clock
- Tilt and gyro compatibility
- Customizable in-game menu
- NES, GB, and GBC support
- Cheat codes via mGBA
- Faster ROM loading
It’s a major quality-of-life upgrade, if you can get your hands on one.
EverDrive GBA Pro skips rumble, but fans aren’t bothered
One omission worth noting: the Pro doesn’t support rumble features, so titles like WarioWare: Twisted! and Drill Dozer lose their haptic edge. Still, most buyers seem unbothered. With 99% of the fan-favorite titles not using rumble, it’s a trade-off many are willing to make.
A premium flash cart with a premium price
At $129, it’s not cheap. That’s $30 more than the standard model. But given the expanded features and fast sell-out, the price clearly hasn’t scared off serious collectors. For budget-conscious users, the original and Mini editions will still be available.
GBA lovers, keep your eye on January
The EverDrive GBA Pro is currently sold out, with restocks expected by mid-January 2026. Whether you’re hunting Pokémon or loading up NES classics, this cartridge might be the smartest way to breathe new life into old screens.
