    Sorry about the service. Personally, I do like the lovely down feather pillows. Best sleep I’ve had in ages.

    Hacking Can't play with the EZ Flash Omega after mod.

    I had so much grief with my Ez-Flash Omega that I bit the bullet and bought an Everdrive X5 Mini. No issues at all with the Everdrive in my IPS modded GBA and modded GBA SP. It works perfectly and has yet to corrupt a single save game. It costs more but you can't beat the reliability and...

    Welcome new guests. Would you like a beverage, meal or corkscrew? I'm afraid I've gone a little peculiar in my 17-year powerdown. Don't mind me.

    Made my first custom GBA with USB C battery

    Hey! The lens is one of the ones sold on RetroSix. I didn't have to do anything to it. The whole mod was fairly simple, I just had to drop everything in.

    Made my first custom GBA with USB C battery

    I've made a custom GBA SP with IPS screen before but I've never done the original GBA. I used a Funnyplaying IPS screen and a shell, lens and buttons from RetroSix. The shell is very nice, much better than the ones out of eBay/China I also have. It fits together well and has a soft-touch...

    ROM Hack Pokemon Sword and Shield Cheats/Hacks/PKHex

    Is anyone able to trade me a 6 IV non-English ditto? I can’t hack on myself unfortunately. It’d be a huge help.

    Hacking Full source codes of EZ-FLASH III

    Ooh. This is a blast from the past! I did the original GBAtemp review for the EZ3. Fantastic cart. I still have it around, but I think the battery might be dead. The client doesn’t work on anything past Windows XP, so it’s be pretty cool if someone with the skills could get it to work. Also...

    Hacking upcoming on omega development

    Is there any possibility to further reduce the power draw of the cart when playing games? FAST6191 tested out the Omega with the latest 3.0 firmware and during a game it was drawing about 0.18-0.20, while the original game cart took about 0.11. That's a pretty decent difference in power draw...

    GBAtemp Exclusive EZFlash Omega (GBA flash cart) in house at GBAtemp

    Oh dear. I was all aboard the Omega hype train. But double the power draw of an original game? That's a deal breaker for me. Please let us know if any firmware updates make any significant changes. I'm on the lookout for a new GBA flashcard, but the Everdrive is looking good now - it has a...

    Hacking How to check if my recently purchased 3DS is banned?

    If you can create and link a NNID to the system then it should be alright. Other bans can be bypassed, but the Pokemon ban last year is the one that stops NNIDs from working on the system.
