Hey guys,

Just wanted to throw this warning out here.
Just received my EZ Flash Parallel, was super happy with the quality until I actually started playing a game and closed the lid.

With every game when you close the lid the power light, audio and screen strobe on and off.
It stops when you open the lid but this is really not acceptable and I imagine it could put a lot of stress on the system to cycle power like that so rapidly...

I am using the official firmware from the site - https://www.ezflash.cn/download/
The issue happens regardless of the custom theme

I would hold off on getting the flash cart for now

I bet this has something to do with the ntrboot thing since it apparently affects the sleep mode, but I'm just guessing.

I believe the changelog from the first kernel revision stated there is a sleep mode bug. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume this is that bug.

Tested some more -

Sleep mode is broken for me on
Original model DS
both of my DS Lites

Sleep mode works for me on
New 3ds
New 3ds XL/LL
3ds

I'm curious if it is working on DSI or not, unfortunately my DSI is getting repaired :(

Can confirm sleep mode works properly on my N3DSXL with LumaCFW. Not sure if having CFW makes any difference, but I'm not about to restore to stock FW to test.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I am using the latest kernel as of this post, v1.04

Oh I misunderstood that as part of the patch notes, as if 1.02 was an attempted fix.

Good to know they're on it, I'm sure it'll be resolved soon :grog:

  • 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
