- GB CFI Repro

Also supported are the HDR MBC30: https://github.com/HDR/MBC30-Flashcart
And HDR GameBoy Cam: https://github.com/HDR/Gameboy-Camera-Flashcart
These are all found under the "29F016/32/33 Cart" selection.
There is also a more general CFI option that could work with more carts if they have a compatible flash protocol.
Once you have selected your flash cartridge type it will ask for a file and then flash said file to the cartridge.
#### GB CFI Repro:
This option is for newer flashroms that support the common flash memory interface protocol.
#### GB CFI and Save:
Same as above but also writes a save game.
#### GB Smart:
For writing GB Smart cartridges.
## Filebrowser
Once you have selected your flash cartridge type the file browser will ask for a file and then flash said file to the cartridge.
