Is it possible to access extra features on certain games that have e-reader add-ons, like Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3? If so, how do I load them? Thanks.

When Dual GBA emulation is added to BizHawk, then E-Reader is possible. Maby. Until then, Nope.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

If you want the extra SMA4 content, all you need is a save file with everything unlocked. http://www.2shared.com/complete/E7Pu-Wtp/SMA4e.html

I have a save file with it all unlocked already, but how do I load it into Bizhawk. I thought it could only be done in another emulator like Virtual Boy Advance? I don't see the Import / Batery option in Bizhawk.

find out where bizhawk wants to put the .saveram file, and then put your file in its place.

But these files are .sav and Bizhawk uses .saveram, so should I just be able to rename the file and it works? I've tried that and it doesn't! Sorry if I come across as dumb, I'm new to all this!

If bizhawk supports all GBA's save types (there are like 5 I think?), then the save I posted should work if you rename it to .saveram

Yes, they are both 128kb. I have renamed the .sav to .SaveRAM to match others in the file, but it doesn't work. EDIT - Not sure what went wrong the first time, but I deleted all the files and started again from scratch and now have it working. Thanks!
