GBA region encoding?

Post by Mutant Headcrab »

I've been reading some stuff on the ol' net, but haven't been able to confirm the one thing niggling at the base of my cerebellum.

Is it true that the Game Boy Advance has no region encoding on it's games? And if not, then whats a good site to order import games :D :P

Can't answer the second, but the first is a positive.

All incarnations of the Game Boy have been and are currently regionless, with zero programming lockouts or physical differences.

The card reader thing has region coding, but the game carts are regionless.

IMO, NCS is the best game importer.
