Im not sure, I don't think it is but im not 100% certain.
The format?? That makes no sense.
You mean do USA games work on UK GBA's?
Other wise I have no clue what your on about.

I can play USA games on my UK GBA, I and it runs off of a US power adapter in the states and a UK power adapter in the UK
does that help?
does that help?
all the mags say so
You can. I've got japanese games that work on my UK GBA.
Yep, that's right. The GBA is literally a universal handheld console in which you can play ANY game from ANY country on ANY GBA - ahh, the delights of Nintendo and their mighty handhelds, eh?
Shame this isn't doesn't work in the same way for consoles like the Gamecube though, eh? If ONLY the whole planet used the same electronical format - all had PAL (is that a format, or am I being stupid and trying to sound too technical? ;-D)
Anyway, as I just said, because the Japs and the Yanks use NTSC and we use PAL - those two get the goods before us poor beggars, and the only reason the Americans don't get it at the same time as the Japanese is because of the translation process, and the other obvious reasons such as mass production.
*sigh*
Shocky.

I'm not sure if you can multiplay link up with different zoned carts.
It definately works - I got my GBA and F Zero in the U.S.
F-Zero links up with a UK F-Zero. A US link cable works with a UK link cable.
UK GameBoy Color games work on my GBA.
Basically ANY combination will work!!!!!
THE GBA CAN PLAY JAPENESE AND US AND UK GAMES OR GAMES FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!!!! YEEEHAAA!!!!
