@EZ-Flash2 any idea why Classic NES Series/Famicom Mini support was dropped and still hasn't been fixed on the latest kernel update? I'm happy that you're still updating the flashcart, that's nice of you! But that's a bug that's been there for years, and it would be great to have it finally fixed :D

If they continue to not answer, I'll go ahead and post the fix I made for the Classic NES / Famicom Mini series. I'll probably fork simplelight if Sterophonick is ok with it.

SimpleLight already has Classic NES/Famicom Mini support, because it's based on the first kernel release.

@EZ-Flash2 (representative), I just would like an up-to-date kernel that works correctly, no weird things to go thru. A good experience.

It was working before, the brand has a lot of experience, I don't get why we still have to keep asking for this. I thought you already had it fixed, and it was just a matter of whenever something else made an update necessary enough - or at least that's what you said.

Again, you already even had the excuse to update the kernel again, and didn't fixed it. I think everyone has been spending more energy trying to tell you this, than the one y'all would've used fixing it all these years.

Also, EverDrive GBA doesn't supports Classic NES/Famicom Mini titles iirc. You would be the only flashcart on the market to properly support it. I don't get why the hesitation.

anyway you can add the v1.04 kernel as well
I can indeed. I'm going to release an update to the current kernel first as a test though, then I'll update it.

*sigh* Unsuprizingly, the EZ-Flash team continues to ignore their customers. So, I have to matters into my own hands now and release my fix for a problem THEY should be fixing because it is an issue with THEIR product.

Here's a test update that fixes the Classic NES / Famicom Mini patch so it works for both overdumps (4MB) and proper dumps (1MB). This update also finally fixes saving in Famicom Mini's 4, 5, 9, and 10, which have NEVER saved properly on any EZ-Flash flash cart.

The DE version is untested as I do not own a DE cart.

has the 1.04 kernel been updated to the https://github.com/PrgmrAtHrt/omega-de-kernel ?
Mine is still show fw 1.03
Post automatically merged:

What is folder.h? I didn't touch the file structure of the source code. Also, this is why this is a test build.

Edit: I linked the non-de kernel. Link updated.
nvm i used simplelight instead of simple de

Hoping I did this right, updated the FF folder from the ezlash git hub.

ezflash omega de on my Analogue pocket.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
