Is it possible to "emulate" this this particular game on a ez-flash cartridge? So when i try to play it, i only get "Game Pak Error" and thats it...
I know i can download a nes emulator for my ez-flash but i would love to play this particular version of zelda since it's optimized especially for the game boy advance screen

For some reason, Nintendo only put their best anti-piracy protection on the games they ported to the GBA from the NES library, even though the NES library has been emulated for such a long time. Either get an accurate emulator or if your flash cart lets you, set the save type to EEPROM.

These games are known for having anti-piracy and anti-emulator code in them. https://mgba.io/2014/12/28/classic-nes/

Unless you have a patched ROM, you're SOL.

To be fair, the GBA versions aren't straight ports. Besides adjusting the sprites to fit the screen, they did things like fix typos (Ganon is no longer "Gannon"), adjust AI (Dark Link in Zelda 2 can't be cheesed by squatting in the corner), and reinstate features (Castlevania has the stage replay from the FDS release). I imagine they put in plenty of anti-hacking measures underneath it as well.

Yeah, you just need to apply an IPS file to the ROM

Google "GBA Nes Classics cracked patched" and see if you can find one that works. I had SMB2J Famicom Mini cracked on my ez-flash.

The anti piracy method used could be theoretically used for normal GBA games too, but they didn't for some reason.

it's because you can't play your nes in a power outage. the gba is the perfect system with the best games thanks to the nes classics and entire game boy catalogue. and it takes regular batteries. perfect.

of COURSE they didn't want people pirating this easily.
