Hack description

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is one of the few games that rumble the Game Cube controller when played through a Game Boy Player. This patch unlocks the rumble option on GBA and adds cartridge rumble. The original Game Boy Player rumble events and durations are used to trigger the rumble motor in any rumble flash cart such as:

- insideGadgets' 32MB 256Kbit FRAM Rumble cartridge
- EZ-FLASH OMEGA Definitive Edition

The cart itself will rumble when played on GBA but not when inserted in a Game Boy Player. That's how Drill Dozer works, which is the only game that officially supports both Game Boy Player and cartridge rumble.

Don't forget to enable the rumble feature in the options menu.

This is the patch to use	Sakitoshi	2021-10-15	Version 1.0
This patch does exactly as expected, and even enables the menu to turn off rumble if you so desire. This is the rumble patch you want to use.

Three Rumble games, down 2-3 more to go!	Baggins	2021-10-10	Version 1.0
This is a treat, this developer has done more of his brand of magic. Yet another great rumble patch for the handful of game player rumble enhanced games that works on flash carts. This is the last of the English releases. Can he use his magic on the last three Japanese games? Maybe drawing interest to those for English translations?
