I believe I've got got every color except regular clear. Red, blue, pink, purple, green, orange, and black.

Also re: Crystal Clear has been updated to support Goomba Color and ShockSlayer says a similar patch would be possible to fix stock Crystal on Goomba Color as well.

Are you selling any of those shells by chance? Would love to get a purple one if possible, or blue would be cool too.

Oh that's something u added exclusively?

Technically I didn't add it but yeah, it needs to be open sourced for something like that.

However there is an alternative. SMSAdvance and the other related emulators have tools to make a ROM with your games in it that can be loaded on any flashcart.

Thinking about it now, something thats funny to me is how the last Omega card (which directly saved to the mSD card) was the one that needed LEDs on the cart to show if it had finished saving to avoid corruption, yet this new one has the LEDs when it no longer has this issue.

Also whats a shame is how the new Definitive Edition has various new features that involve NDS link up, yet unlike the last Omega cart, this new one can no longer be flush with the DS Lite at the bottom of the device, as it uses a full size PCB now.

It might sound petty but as a owner of the first Omega cart, this feels like a deal breaker to me even though it probably shouldn't.
This was almost the perfect NDS slot 2 cart if it had the half size PCB.

Original games you can link with a DS game are not flush either. It's not such a big deal imho. The LED i'm also unsure what it's good for. Maybe someone thought of the PC gamers lol

Yeah, I guess. Assuming thats even gonna be a thing. With this called the "definitive edition", I'm not holding any hope.

But a suggestion if the EZ Flash team ever considered it. Keep the FRAM for saves, but maybe put a button at the top of the cart that when pushed, would dump the save to the mSD card like the first Omega cart. Have the best of both worlds.

Um the Omega didn't have a button

Fixs every problem Omega has
Not every problem. You still cant directly save to the mSD card, and they've had to revert back to using FRAM and needing to reboot the device to dump the save. And this is clearly a inconvenience they would like to overcome, as proven by the fact that they use to have FRAM back in the EZ Flash IV, but then tried to move away from it when they made the first Omega. With LEDs, you can lower the likelihood of accidental corruption, and having a button can give you the option of having both methods of saving.

Of course I'm not saying that a entire new version of the device should be created for this sole reason. But if another device was already being made (like a "lite" version for the NDS lite), then I dont see why this shouldnt be considered.

But it looks pretty! ;)
