EZ flash Omega Definitive Edition won't boot

[Klappenvanger]

Hi all,

I have a EZ flash Omega Definitive Edition Rev.A. It worked just fine. Have been playing Pokemon Shiny Gold Sigma for many hours.

However...

After not using my cartridge for a few months it won't boot anymore. It says that there is no kernel on the memory card. I tried everything. Even deleted my firmware and had to figure out how to install it again. Managed that but the initial problem didn't go away.

My sd card has been formatted as a FAT32 with 32 bit allocation size and has the following files:

When I hold the R button during boot it says that it can't find the [ezkernalnew.bin] and that I have to copy the file to my SD root directory.

I don't think cleaning it will work, because placing back the firmware worked just fine.

The "Test card" were OK. (S71 and S98 were both fine)

So I think the ez flash drive is broken. Does anyone have an idea for a solution?

Can you try to boot the card natively, not through any software way.

The border you see is because I made with a DS R4 flash card. With or without it doesn't make a difference.

Thanks for the reply, btw

From your feedback, your card can recognize the existence of the SD card in the process of upgrading the kernel, but it cannot recognize the ezkernelnew.bin on the SD card. It is recommended to change another SD card, reformat it, copy only ezkernelnew.bin in the root directory of the SD card, and try again to upgrade the kernel by holding down the R key and turning on the console.

I had doubts that it would work, but you were right. I got a new SD card and it works again. Thanks for the advice

It works fine. When I ordered 1 the first one was DOA, but this one is fine. GBA games all worked perfectly. The few GBC games I tried did have some artifacts.
