I've got an EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition, latest kernel and firmware, but for some reason, no addons work with the Classic NES series games. The games themselves work fine, but I can't bring up the Reset/Save/Load menu.

On a related note, do the integrated sleep modes (Metroid Zero Mission, Classic NES series, etc.) simply not work on flash carts? All I get when I try to select it is a white flash, then the game resumes.

Can anyone help with this stuff?

This has been a long standing issue with EZ Flash carts. This thread may help you if the Omega DE has the same problem as the older EZ Flash IV. Be aware that sleep mode with a flashcart will drain a lot more battery than a real cart.

EDIT: I successfully patched Metroid this way, so it should work for the rest too.

I don't own one personally so I don't know for sure - but I have read that the Everdrive GBA does not suffer this sleep mode issue. Power consumption in sleep mode and in general is also better than an EZ Flash, but worse than a real cart. Also, Everdrive does not support patching for an ingame sleep/reset/save/load menu.

They work unpatched on a DE if your using simple custom fw

Oh no, the kernel itself worked fine, but the results with the NES games are the same, can't bring up the reset/save/load menu, even if it works with other GBA games

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
