So I bought an EZ-Flash jr. for a project to make an application for the Gameboy pocket. At first I tried using a small 2GB SD-card which just did not work as I couldn't flash it to the correct file system or cluster size. After buying a new 32GB card and flashing it correctly, the cart booted up exactly once. I was running the FW4-update .gb file that the readme told me to, but as I saw that the firmware was already up to date, I never started an update. Later, the cart refused to boot at all, just leaving me at "EZ FLASH LOADING..." indefinitely.

I have tried reformatting with the same and different file systems and cluster sizes, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you're having this issue.

The fault you describe looks like the card can't detect the insertion of the SD card properly, can you check if the metal contact points of your SD card are oxidized or dirty, also please check if all the pins inside the SD card slot on the card are in normal condition.

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
