EMS GAME BOY SMART CARD – 64 MB
EMS 64 MB GAME BOY SMART CARD review
Specifications:
• Cartridge ID: EMS - GB SMART CARD
• Released: 2009
• Manufacturer: EMS
• Rare feature: This cartridge basically rip off the USB enable Bleep Bloop cart concept. Cartridge capacity= 64 MB divided in two memory slots of 32 MB.
Why do I receive at GAMEBOYcarts.com:
I would never forget how many issues I got in the past with my 32 MB SMART cartridge series from EMS… disgusting battery issues, some stability issues in live mode, etc. My experience with EMS cartridges was terrible UNTIL NOW. When I discovered their USB 64 MB on the kitsch bent store I said ” WTF”… they ripped off the Bleep Bloop cartridge design concept, but you know 64 MB of capacity makes me smile 
. I can’t understand why EMS never worked seriously to create a better cartridge system before the USB cartridge success, seems like right now they know how important is the new technology resources like a simple USB port mixed up with old school cartridge concept for LSDJ users or gamers, Do you remember the T-REX 32 MB smart card transfer-er?… WTS!!!
In my personal opinion I believe in the Bleep Bloop efforts creating a great, stable and nice looking modern cartridge. My friend Ralp from: Distortled Box says: “Well the huge difference between Bleep Bloop and EMS cartridge is just the capacity 16 MB vs. 64 MB, think about people like me… I have lot of song data to carry on each gig… I really respect the Bleep Bloop work, but 64 MB it’s so cool man!!!”. The positive feeling in all of this is the fact of how many developers are now working to offer their cartridges for LSDJ users.
I tested the EMS cart for about 6 hours and is really good & stable. The Software is also pretty easy to use working with Parallels Desktop for Mac users, also bringing support for PC users running WIN XP, WIN VISTA, or WIN 7. The battery replacement system is the same used on the USB Bleep Bloop carts> without soldering .

wonderful review! maybe I’m a tad biased, but I love these cartridges as well. 2 menus, 64M is space, USB, and an easy-change battery are huge improvements for EMS stuff. So much better than the older 32M cartridges (very outdated now anyways). nicely done… and objective.
Yeah man… seems like EMS wake up and made huge improvements on their cartridges
I have got 2xGB USB smart card 64M by E.M.S. and 2xNon-USB cart. by BleepBloop (thx Matthew) and both work perfectly.
In my opinion, Jose’s cartridge is prettier than E.M.S. but the second is also cool (and good for games or LSDJ).
An objective text. Well done.
Yeah man, these things are just great. I had one from kitsch for about 2 days, then I sent it off to a kid as a replacement for a Red PCB Bleep Bloop that would not hold a save.
The software was extremely clean and friendly, and the amount of games I tossed on there was incredible.
I need to get another one of these just games, nothing like having LSDJ, and all 5 of my beloved Megaman games on one cart (with room to spare)
Great write up, have you tried swapping the case on these suckers? Its the big as battery in the way like the 32M?
Hi Thretris… well I confirm that it’s impossible to fit the 64 MB cartridge into a classic one… there’s two RESISTORS in the top of the PCB board that take much space to fit in one original cartridge… but I’m working to find and make a really nice experiment
… I’ll let you know more soon!
Thanks!
So… is this 64Megabits? or MEGABYTES?
It says it’s 64M so its 8mb, right…?

i need help with this card every time i plug it into my gameboy advance the battery runs out immediately, turning the battery light off, and a few seconds later turning off the system help!
Hey, I’m having the same problem as bobby does (I think). I’ve just got my cartridge recently (it’s about 3 days old), and have played with it for about 3 hours at most. But after a bit of time when I plugged it into my gba sp the gameboy advance staring screen came (normally the old gameboy starting screen should appear) in and then nothing happened. I tried running other cartridges (including LSDJ) and everything runs just fine. What could be the cause? I suppose the battery is out in the card. Or should it be working without it? As I said the card is brand new, maybe they shipped it with an almost empty battery? Anyone else experienced the same problem? Any help would be appreciated!
The battery should be just for save files. Sounds like the pins on the cart aren’t making contact properly in the GBA SP cartridge slot.
Either that, or the cart is defective and just crapped out, since the GBA is acting like no cartridge is inserted.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the games?
I mean, there was a tool capable of reducing the size of the GBA games back in the day, which allowed you to put one or two more games by getting ridden of the duumies that come with the game roms.
Is there such thing on the gbc too? Even though the pages have 32mb each, I can never fit two 16mb games on it >.<
hiya man how do i get 1 ?
You can buy one here: http://kitsch.bigcartel.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card
Enjoy!
is it difficult to run lsdj with this cartridge?
Hey man… th answer is NO, is really easy to run LSDJ on this cartridge
, like any other cartridge (Bleep Bloop or EMS).
Cheers!
Read that this is a comment i sent to Kitsch about compatibility and problems. and i solved some problems. i hope it help some people:
thanks. i understand the problem of gameboy color game. YOU CANT MIX gb color games and gb mono games on the same PAGE. this way i have no glitch on gb color games anymore. so i put gb mono games on page 1. and gb color games on page 2.
All Gb color games seem to work now. im happy about that.
i have 3 gb mono game that dont work , the others 27 gb mono roms work perfect. the 3 gb mono games that dont work are: Gargoyle quest (dont load), megaman 5 (dont load ) and mario land 2 ( world map dont work, you can only play stage 1) i tried several roms version of each game. If you find a WAY TO GET THESE GAMES WORKING, contact me thanks. i try to put theses games each alone on page 2 and it doesnt work.
Now i have to say you something very important. my father is a electronician technician specialist in repair video game console. You surely have some people that told you that the 64m gb cart work pretty bad on the gameboy sp. there a trick. the gb track is too loose on your cart. my father open the cart and put glue in the hole in the middle of the cart. so the track is not loose anymore. and he has to put the track a little father in the right than middle. i hope you understand my bad english LOL NOW THE CART WORK EVERYTIME 100% i try it in any game boy console. before that i had to insert the cart 5 to 20 times before getting it working in my gameboy sp. for the original gameboy your cart was working everytime. Now with the repair of my father it work the first time i insert it in any gameboy model: gba, gb sp or original gb. i dont own a gameboy color to try it.
Now im verry happy with it. if you find a way to get working any of these 3 gb mono games: gargoyle quest, mariland 2 and megaman V. i would appreciate it. otherwise i will live with it LOL
THANKS A LOT.
So..Is this better than the smartboy cart?
For me… YES… is better!
You should do a review of the 32M Smart Card!
Why is it better? I’m trying to find a really good cart to use.
I think this is the one, I just wish it would fit in an original cartridge….
Hey amigo
Tu reseña es buena, quiero comprar un cartucho como el de BleepBloop pero acabo de ver está opción y se ve más economica que la de Bleep, pero ya no la encuentro en ningun lado 
Tanto en Kitsch-Bent o nonelectronics se agotó, y en la página de EMS no dice nada al respecto. Tu sabes donde puedo conseguir alguno, o si alguien que conoces tiene alguno para vender?
Si no tendré que conformarme con el de Bleep. haha
Hola heartdelay, El único sitio que aún tiene en existencia es este: http://dmgs-r-us.jimdo.com/shop/cartridges/
Corre que se acaban!!
Hola! Me gustaria saber si para meter un rom en el cartucho y jugar en la gameboy necesitas parchearlo o algo asi como en la gameboy advance.
Muchas gracias
Hola Victor, bienvenido a gameboycarts.com
si compras este cartucho de EMS y tienes la ROM del juego en tu PC o MAC simplemente a través del programa que trae el propio fabricante del cartucho de EMS, podrás grabar 1 ó varios juegos en el cartucho. Este cartucho se utiliza popularmente en el mundo 8 bits para hacer música con GAME BOY pero puedes usarlo perfectamente para jugar.
Greetings! I’m very impressed by the useful post. May quote a part of your blog post in my blog? Thanks!
Not a problem… thanks!
