@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.

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.

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.

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

ezflash omega de on my Analogue pocket.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
